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

incense provide for a magical moment.
