GUATEMAYA ART AND CULTURE TOURS

AN INVITATION TO TAKE PART IN OUR NEW VENTURE:  

GUATEMAYA ART AND CULTURE TOUR

LAKE ATITLAN, GUATEMALA.

We are excited to announce the launching of the GuateMaya Art and Culture tours around Lake Atitlan. Guatemala, for March, April and May of 2020. This is a new venture that we are offering to travelers who are looking for an authentic, rich, and engaging cultural and artistic experience. You will meet the artists, artisans and stewards of the culture, learn about their art and craft and the history, culture and way of life of the Mayan people of Guatemala, and engage in dialogue around the questions of how can indigenous cultures continue to thrive in the modern world and how can we mutually support and learn from each other.We will facilitate your journey by offering recommendations for lodging in Antigua and transportation to the lake and by arranging for lodging while staying in San Pedro. We will also be your hosts while in San Pedro and accompany you on the tours along with local guides that we are partnering with.We have been working with the artists, artisans, a local tour outfit and stewards of the culture over the last two years to develop this new initiative based on the principles of community based tourism so that their culture will be authentically represented and that there will be fair benefits to the artists and the community. Participants will also learn how they can join as partners in this project to help achieve our goals of supporting the artists and artisans, promoting international appreciation and cooperation, and helping the communities we work with to thrive.If this sounds like something you might be interested in taking part in please contact us for more information and how to apply.Yours in Peace and GratitudeImre and Lorna Kepesikepes@aol.com mobile: 413-687-8612PS – please feel free to pass on to anyone you think would be interested.
