Experience the traditional way of life in Guatemala as you visit several popular and picturesque villages around Antigua aboard our mini Chicken Bus, a colorful, shiny, and iconic mode of transport. While regular Chicken Buses are built for 60 passengers, ours has only 10 and is used exclusively for participants, offering a more personal and comfortable ride.
These buses, known for their unique designs, are a symbol of local pride. Our Half Day experience provides a safe and comfortable journey from village to village, allowing us to immerse in local lifestyles. Along the way, we visit family-owned workshops and community projects that preserve ancestral traditions like artisanal chocolate, loquat wine, and coffee making. Your participation directly supports these efforts and has a positive impact on local families.
Each stop is more than just a destination, it’s a cultural exchange, a shared moment, and a living expression of Guatemala’s heritage.
