WELLNESS TOUR

– Awaken Your Senses, Elevate Your Emotions

This Wellness Tour is more than a day’s activity—it is a restorative journey into nature, culture, and self-awareness, thoughtfully designed to leave you feeling rebalanced, energized, and deeply connected.

(Re)connect with your spirit in the enchanting forests of Totonicapán. This full-day journey invites you into a space of inner awareness, balance, and renewal, where you will be gently guided to calm the mind, release stress, and dedicate meaningful time to yourself.

Throughout the experience, you will engage in activities designed to nurture both body and mind in harmony, fostering a deeper connection with your inner self, the natural environment, and the surrounding community. As your senses awaken, you will begin to experience a renewed sense of wellbeing—encouraging lasting, positive changes in how you relate to yourself and the world around you.

Following the forest immersion, the journey continues with a community-based experience, where a local K’iche’ Maya family warmly welcomes you into their home. Here, you will discover and enjoy the authentic gastronomy of Totonicapán. Your hosts will prepare a traditional meal using fresh, locally sourced ingredients, many harvested from their own garden and complemented by produce from the local market. This moment beautifully complements the morning’s relaxation, nourishing the body with natural, sustainable energy.

The Wellness Tour is a flexible experience that can be enjoyed in two formats. It may be booked as a private experience, meaning you and your group can schedule it for any date throughout the year. Alternatively, you may join a group experience, which is organized once a month, typically on the last Sunday of each month.

In terms of location, the tour is most commonly held in Totonicapán. However, it is also offered in selected communities within Quetzaltenango, El Palmar, and San Martín Sacatepéquez.

A key aspect of this experience is its commitment to community-based tourism. All services are delivered in collaboration with local associations and community providers, ensuring that each visit contributes directly to the economic development of the area, generating employment opportunities and sustainable income for local families.

To ensure the sustainability and quality of this experience, a minimum of two participants is required per booking.    

We are committed to our social responsibility of creating spaces for wellbeing for our own people — the people of Guatemala. That is why, once a month, we organize a group tour where both Guatemalans and international visitors can come together to reserve, connect, share, and build a sense of community while enjoying meaningful and enriching experiences.

Because the Wellness Tour is about wellbeing and community, you are warmly invited to join any of these experiences too.
