Explore Chichicastenango’s Mayan market and Iximche ruins on a private Antigua day tour with transport, water, and a local guide.
“Chichicastenango is a fascinating, bustling town steeped in rich Mayan history and culture that have stayed alive over the centuries despite Spanish colonization. The market is chaotic and beautiful simultaneously. The hand-woven textiles are absolutely incredible. The colorful cemetery is so unique and tells an intricate story. The tour, guide and driver overall were great. The pyramids are simpler than others, and not as old, but interesting to see and a nice reason to break up the drive.”

“Drive time from Antigua to iximche was about an hour. A quick knowledgeable tour through the grounds with the guide with extra time to explore in your own. While not the most impressive rubs I’ve ever seen was still beautiful and worth the visit. Especially noting local peoples still using the grounds for religious purposes. A+”

“Lee was a fantastic guide! He was very knowledgeable and enjoyable to talk to about Mayan history and culture on our drive to and from Iximche. This trip was part of our honeymoon and my husband’s birthday gift from me. He and I had such a great time and learned so much. We got to see Mayans conduct ceremonies as well which was interesting and surreal. It was overall an enriching experience.”
