Activity itinerary

Mixco Viejo

  • 1h 30m
  • Admission ticket included
Perfect for history buffs and culture lovers, this journey takes you off the beaten path to Mixco Viejo, a lesser-known post-classic Mayan archaeological site surrounded by deep, dramatic ravines. Unlike other crowded ruins, you’ll experience a peaceful, guided hike through ancient defensive fortresses, pyramids, and ballcourts.

Antigua, Guatemala

  • 3h
By afternoon, we switch gears to the effortlessly cool streets of Antigua Guatemala. Instead of a rigid tour, we'll guide you through the city's most iconic spots—like the Santa Catalina Arch and vibrant plazas—while leaving plenty of room for you to relax. Grab a world-class local coffee, enjoy a chill lunch overlooking volcanic views, snap some incredible photos, and soak in the colonial atmosphere before a comfortable ride back.
