ON THIS TOUR YOU WILL:


Journey to the colonial capital of Antigua at 5,500 feet above sea level via a scenic 90-minute, narrated drive through Guatemalan lowlands, while en route sample exotic fruits prepared and sanitized to sweeten your journey.

Keep an eye out for magnificent views of volcanoes, cattle, and sugar cane plantations. At 5,000 feet above sea level, you will discover the avocado plantation at San Miguel Duenas, learn about this great fruit and the benefits of consuming it on a daily basis, enjoy a guacamole snack and chips, and continue to Antigua, the colonial jewel of the Americas.
