This is a wonderful tour through the heart of the Guatemala highlands, driving through incredibly colorful landscapes: indigenous people wearing their typical suits that shepherd their sheep and dairy cows, hillsides planted with vegetables and flowers, towns which witnessed our history and can now been seen in the paintings and crafts made by local artists.

Here you will enjoy the multicolored market and their traditions. The ancient, indigenous commercial process of flower scents and incense provide for a magical moment.
