If you’re looking for a full day trip that will deepen your knowledge of Guatemala and expose you to interacting with local communities off-the-beaten-path, this is for you. The activities take place in the community of San Miguel Escobar on the outskirts of Antigua (20 or 30 minutes), where the coffee-growing families welcome you into their homes to start the experience in a rural Guatemalan kitchen to learn to cook Guatemalan traditional dishes: Pepian, plantain mole, and tortillas on a wood-burning stove. After lunch, a coffee farmer will lead you through their fields, explain the work behind cultivating coffee, walk you through each processing step from bean to brew, and finish the tour by joining you for a coffee in their home. Along the way, you’ll learn more than just the process behind coffee-you’ll have authentic and transparent conversations with small-scale producers and their families.

Amazing Day Tour

Such a special experience in Guatemala! We booked the full day tour with De La Gente, and it ended up being our favorite day of the whole trip. Our hosts, Jose and Miriam, were so welcoming and kind, and our experience was made even better by our translator, Erick. The food was incredible and it was so cool to learn the whole coffee process from seed to cup. 10000/10 would recommend.

The most wholesome day!

The most amazing experience. We did the Antigua day trip consisting of the cooking class and coffee making class. The cooking class was led by the lovely Lillian and Natalie (translator) - It was very wholesome and we had the best time. We went through the ingredients, prepped them and made pepian, mole, corn tortillas, and lemonade. Lillian accommodated for my vegetarian needs perfectly. We then had the lunch and proceeded with the coffee tour led by Mercedes. It was interesting to see the coff...read more

Amazing local taste!

We did the Antigua day tour with an English translator. This included a cooking class and a coffee farm tour. The visit was perfect. We went to the family’s house and cooked pepian on the family’s wood stove. The translator was lovely and made sure everything was properly communicated throughout. The food was lovely and it was great seeing that part of the culture. Also the coffee tour was equally great as we got to see the plants and how the coffee is cultivated in Antigua. We learned more abou...read more

Excellent tour!!

We booked an Antigua Day Tour online which included a cooking class and coffee tour. It was one of our most memorable days in Guatamala, and we deeply appreciated learning about Guatemalan cuisine, culture and coffee farming practices. The tour included transportation, our wonderful interpreter, Luis and several hours with Senor Mercedes' and his family where we were taught how to make Pepian (which was adapted to be vegetarian, as well as a meat option), and a tour of a local coffee farm, the h...read more
