Do you want to see real life on a cofee/rubber/sugarcane plantation in Guatemala? Well bring a visit to the Finca San Isidro where you can see the process of making coffee, rubber and sugercane and see the way of living on a farm.
On the plantation we will have a tour showing the different products and statues you will encounter on the Finca. You will see that much processing and human labour is required before coffee berries and its seeds can be processed into the roasted coffee. The roasting process has a great degree of influence on the taste of the final product. You will taste it after the tour with of course a nice cop of coffee!

After the eruption of the volcan Santiaguito everything of the little village Viejo Palmar was destroyed. Now Viejo Palmar (also called it’s Guatemala´s Pompeii) seems like an inhabitable ghost town. Here you can see hanging bridges and in the morning you will have an amazing view of the Santiaguito volcano. Near El Asintal, Retalhuleu we will visit Takalik Abaj (standing stone), one the oldest archaeological site in Guatemala, where once the Olmecs and Mayans lived and mingled. Maya styles stela 5 bears the long count date of 125 AD while a pure Olmec style were-jaguar is carved on a nearby boulder.
