Highlights
If you’re looking for a full day trip that will deepen your knowledge of Guatemala and expose you to interacting with local communities off-the-beaten-path, this is for you. The activities take place in the community of San Miguel Escobar on the outskirts of Antigua (20 or 30 minutes), where the coffee-growing families welcome you into their homes to start the experience in a rural Guatemalan kitchen to learn to cook Guatemalan traditional dishes: Pepian, plantain mole, and tortillas on a wood-burning stove. After lunch, a coffee farmer will lead you through their fields, explain the work behind cultivating coffee, walk you through each processing step from bean to brew, and finish the tour by joining you for a coffee in their home. Along the way, you’ll learn more than just the process behind coffee-you’ll have authentic and transparent conversations with small-scale producers and their families.

About Antigua
Antigua Guatemala is a colonial city of cobbled streets, ruined churches and pastel façades, ringed by three volcanoes in the Guatemalan highlands.
Antigua was the capital of Spanish Guatemala until earthquakes in 1773 led to the move of the government to the present capital. The grid of cobbled streets and low colonial houses survived, together with the ruins of grand churches and convents, and the town is a UNESCO World Heritage site. The yellow Santa Catalina Arch, with its clock tower, frames Volcán de Agua at the end of a street.
Top-ranked sights in Antigua: Antigua Central Park (Parque Central), Cerro de la Cruz (Hill of the Cross), La Merced Church (Iglesia de la Merced).
