Highlights
Guatemala is a megadiverse country as well as a multi-ethnic one as we hold more than 22 ethnicities. Guatemala is mostly Mayan, and if you are on the West side of the country, this is not the exception.
During your visit to Xela, don´t miss the chance to visit one of the most important spots: Fuentes Georginas, natural hot springs located at the base of Zunil Volcano. Enjoy paradise submerged in hot relaxing water while appreciating the calmness and sweet sounds of nature.
Also, visit 2 Mayan towns, learn about their language, traditional clothing, and traditions, and visit their nation-acclaimed vegetables markets.
And as icing on the cake, visit an artisanal blown glass factory, where they only use recycled materials, help the community, and work all together as one. Learn about this type of art where they create tableware, as well as house and office ornaments based on glass.
Don´t miss this chance to take a diverse, relaxing, and cultural tour, all in one.

The time´s short for all the activities we get the chance to do in one day. After picking you up at the lobby of your hotel in the central area of Xela, we will depart to our first location: COPAVIC. The ride will only last 30 minutes.Copavic Vidrio Soplado
30 minsAdmission Ticket IncludedCOPAVIC is a Mayan cooperative where the members collaborate in creating different glass-based products. Indigenous people take care of the planet, and seeing the great necessity of using recycled products to reduce our carbon footprint, the cooperative decided to use recycled glass. The recycled glass is collected and using a high-heat oven, they melt the glass. Using special techniques such as glass blowing, they create beautiful tableware and house ornaments. Learn about this process directly with the people who work on this on a daily basis and who put so much love and passion into every piece they create. If you wish you can buy a piece you like, they also ship internationally, mainly in Italy and other parts of Europe.Fuentes Georginas
3 hoursAdmission Ticket IncludedThe ride to get to Fuentes Georginas is just 30 minutes from COPAVIC. These natural hot springs are at the base of the Zunil Volcano, and it´s the volcano where the hot water comes from. Many people come here claiming the healing powers of the hot springs. We assure you that you will spend some quality time submerged in hot relaxing water, like a spa surrounded by lots of nature. By the way, this is a great place for pictures!Fuentes Georginas

They keep all their traditions since before the arrival of the Spanish conquers, so you will be fascinated to see how their day-to-day life is, visit their local vegetable market, the central plaza, and their church, which is very similar to the church of La Merced in Antigua.Mercado Municipal De Almolonga
30 minsAdmission Ticket FreeAlmolonga is pretty known for their big-size vegetables. Due to the volcano´s minerals, the soil is very fertile, which their inhabitants consider a blessing from God. Usually, people from other parts of the world, and even some parts of Guatemala, receive only 2-3 harvests through the year. People in Almolonga receive 8 harvests of the best vegetables during the year! It is amazing.
