5.00We were lucky and were alone with the tour guide as a family of 4 and had a private tour! Homero, our tour guide, provided us with a lot of information on this day trip and let us taste local drinks like Pozol, Pox and Atosh at the markets. We also enjoyed being able to taste Talames! We even learned 3 toasts on Zotzil when we were put in traditional clothes in Zinacantán. Thank you Homero for introducing us to the culture! We were able to allocate time freely. The boat trip was also gigantic, you felt like you were in Jurassic Park with the river crocodiles on the shore...
Would not go again.

3.00This trip had pros and cons. Pro: great guides, friendly and helpful Con: so dusty that I felt unsafe. The road was very hard to see and at times we had to come to a complete stop until the dust cleared. We also had to buy goggles or glasses and bandanas, they do not rent goggles. I know that the road is dry because of the weather, but I would not recommend this trip.
