Free Hiking Tour and stories of the worldview of the peoples

I requested an early morning hike and I was robbed and shot in the leg. I was told I needed a guide for this area so I thought it would be okay with this guide but the entire thing was set up by the guide who was messaging the robbers of our arrival. Please whatever you do don't trust this guide!!!!

The tour was lovely, the guide was knowledgeable, and we went places I would have not been able to visit on my own

¡Un recorrido maravilloso! Las vistas son fantásticas, y José David compartió muchas historias interesantes sobre la área y las comunidades. El es muy amigable y informado. ¡Super recomendado!!!

Si eres de las personas que prefiere conocer las costumbres e historias locales, este tour es definitivamente para tí! Disfruté mucho con las historias que David nos contó, así como de la caminata y los paisajes muy bonitos que pudimos ver!! Recomiento definitivamente este tour, sobretodo si buscas un paseo alternativo y diferente.

This is a Spanish tour but I begged Jose to allow me to join his tour even if my Spanish is limited. It turned out that I was the only walker and he didn't cancel the tour. I really appreciate him. He tried to speak slowly so that I could understand him to some extent. The tour went to Obisco just outside Antigua which is on the lower hill of Agua Volcan, 15 minute chicken bus ride (Q3 per ride, a fare collector gave me changes and you can pay with a small bill (Q5,10,20). It was an easy 2 hour hiking and I was able to see smokes from Fuego Volcan. The view from the hills were amazing. The main point is to know the culture of Mayan tribe, his tribe and myths, legends and interesting stories that his grand parents passed on to him. It is not about Antigua nor Spanish colonial Era but for Mayan culture. He has another full time job He had a moment of self-identification as a Mayan and this is his life project as a Mayan descendant. This was a very unique experience for me. If you understand Spanish and are interested in authentic Mayan culture, I strongly recommend it.
