Puerto Quetzal is Guatemala's largest Pacific port and the gateway to some of the country's highlights, including lush coffee plantations.
A scenic 90-minute drive takes you into the mountains of Guatemala, heading for the Filadelfia Coffee Estate. En route to the plantation, your guide entertains you with an informative narrative.
At the lush plantation, you'll understand the coffee-growing process through a visit to the coffee mill, drying patios and plantation fields. Savor one of the freshest cups of coffee you've ever had, made with beans sourced from just a few feet away. After this, enjoy a traditional Guatemalan lunch of grilled meats and more.
The UNESCO World Heritage Site city of Antigua welcomes you to one of the most famous colonial cities in the Americas. Originally built in 1543, then mostly destroyed by a massive earthquake in 1773, today's Antigua is a living time capsule, with cobblestone streets, colonial buildings and historic sites that still contain rubble from hundreds of years ago. A walking tour introduces you to the main cultural highlights surrounding the jacaranda-ringed Central Plaza, from the iconic Santiago Cathedral to the majestic Palacio de los Capitanes Generales.
After a full day out, reboard the coach and relax on the drive back to the port.
