Introduction

I am a Brit and one of the owners (along with my partner James- USA and Beat - SWISS) of a tour operator based in Guatemala that offers tours to Guatemala, Belize and Honduras. I have a baby daughter so Im learning to be a mum! I started working life as a mechanical engineer then went travelling and ended up volunteering and working for Save The Children in Columbia and Peru. After that I travelled throughout the Americas - driving from Guatemala to Canada before going back to work but this time in LA. I met James in LA (Helicopter Pilot) and we hatched a plan to start a travel company in Guatemala - a place we both loved - and the rest as they say is history!!

This is a great market to see authentic Maya daily life. Its not a tourist market at all. Market days are Tuesday, Friday and Sunday. Its only 1hour from Antigua so easy to visit on a day trip from Antigua or on a transfer day from Antigua to Lake Atitlan - or vice versa.
