If you are looking to understand the meaning of the living Mayans' traditions and customs, and to learn from them their ancestral practices such as weaving techniques, natural dyeing of fabrics, the importance of chocolate, and natural medicine, we have you covered. Join this collective tour and have fun while learning that and much more!

We'll take you to discover 3 cultural towns on a boat ride that’ll give you insight into the heart of the Mayan culture.

The local Mayans say that Lake Atitlan holds unique energy fields that run through the area. Whether you feel the vibes or not, there’s no denying that this lake is a special place.

San Juan is a cultural town where we will visit several indigenous cooperatives to learn how they make certain products. San Pedro is a party destination, and although our visit will be brief, it is an equally enjoyable town. Finally, Santiago is a town with rich culture and color.
