Itinerary and highlights
Immerse yourself in Guatemalan culture with this unique food tour! Begin at one of the country’s biggest markets, where you’ll sample traditional "antojitos," explore colorful stands filled with fresh fruits, vegetables, and flowers, and experience the lively energy of a bustling market day. Afterward, join a hands-on tortilla-making workshop led by locals who pass down ancestral knowledge through generations. You’ll learn to craft your own criollo corn tortillas and enjoy them with delicious side dishes and a refreshing Guatemalan beverage.
At the Central Market of Antigua, you can taste atoles, tostadas, fresh fruits, recados, and traditional sweets (5 food tastings).
To begin the tortilla workshop with a local family, we will take a Tuc Tuc to Santa Ana after leaving the market. The workshop will cover corn history, how to ground corn on a stone, how to make colorful tortillas, and how to serve them with beans, avocado, cheese, and a traditional beverage.
