Cuscun - Cooking School, Tours & Workshops

Cooking class

👍👍 One of the best experiences of our entire trip! The rooftop is stunning, the food was amazing, and the guides were so helpful and great. It’s pretty much impossible to find Guatemalan food like this in a restaurant here in Antigua. We will be back!

Finca Sacmoc

Nature preserve

👍👍 Recomendado para desconectarse de la ciudad y conectarse con la naturaleza. Para llegar a la finca hay que ir por un camino de terracería, no hay señal de teléfono, está súper alejado de todo por lo que al llegar te das cuenta que es un tesoro en medio de la naturaleza, todo vale la pena. La atenc...

Acatenango Local Adventure

Tour operator

👍👍 This tour was amazing. The hike was quite strenuous and the night was cold but Armando and Diego, our guides, did everything in their power to make us feel safe and happy.

Church

👍👍 Small temple that is in the central square of Chchicastenango. Here you can see an image highly revered by the local residents, a recumbent Christ which is processed during Good Friday and other special days.
