Step into the heart of Guatemalan weaving traditions on this intimate, hands-on tour. We’ll journey just 30 minutes from La Antigua Guatemala to San Antonio Aguas Calientes, a town known for its deep connection to weaving and textile artistry. This is a unique opportunity to learn about backstrap weaving, one of the oldest and most intricate weaving techniques still practiced today, all while supporting a local children's weaving school that aims to preserve this craft for future generations.
