I am an Biologist-Entomologist who is interested in Apitourism of Stingless bees and its conservation in Guatemala. I love hiking, the Guatemalan Culture, Colonial Architecture and History of Antigua Guatemala.
RECOMENDADÍSIMO! Aristides es un guía muy paciente y comparte información muy interesante sobre su cultura, su lengua y las tradiciones de San Juan de la Laguna. También ofrece un tour que conecta con cooperativas de San Juan. Esto te permite acercarte a la gente más allá de una simple relación comercial. Esto permite un intercambio cultural único! En la cooperativa de cacao, de textiles y en la de miel de abeja, nos recibieron con las puertas abiertas. No hay nada mejor que visitar el pueblo con un local y qué además explicar y comparte sus raíces.
Flavio arranged for Aristides to do the tour and we couldn't have asked for a better guide to visit the pretty town of San Juan. Aristides was very informative and gave us lots of insights into the Guatemalan and Mayan culture and their way of life. He spoke perfect English and we were able to share life experiences together, he is very approachable and personable Can't recommend it him enough
Aristides is a very nice guy who knows a lot and takes you to wonderful places. It's not like a standard tour, but more like a walk with a friend who can answer all your questions. We 100% recommend Aristides.
Flavio arranged for Pablo to give us a tour since he was out of the country. Pablo was great with our kids, very knowledgeable and spoke good English. Even though we were an hour late, he waited for us and greeted us kindly. Prior to our tour, he sent me a text introducing himself. I had hoped to visit the Mayan health cooperative but that’s okay, we were all tired and were satisfied with the 3 that we did visit (weaving, stingless honey bees and coffee). Highly recommend!
Excellent experience
