Greetings to all, my name is Alejandro (Alejo). I have been a certified photographer and guide for 12 years in Antigua, a wonderful city. I speak Spanish and English and have already traveled to many parts of my country as a guide, as a photographer, as a friend, and that is what has led me to work in this profession, which is more than just work; it is a pleasure for me to show you all the beauty of Guatemala. We can talk about coffee, traditions, cultures; we can take a fun tour where we learn and laugh at the same time. I hope to have your visit and be able to guide you through my beautiful city, Antigua, Guatemala. Greetings, walkers! Alejandro Valdes (Alejo).
