Tecpan

Time Travel in the Heart of Tecpán Discover the rich fusion of history and spirituality that defines Tecpán. Our exploration begins in the picturesque central park, the vibrant heart of the community, where you can soak up the local atmosphere and admire traditional architecture. From there, we will enter a real historical treasure: the Catholic Church of Tecpán. With its impressive 500 years old, this sacred monument is a living witness of colonial times. Walking through its corridors is a step back in time; you can admire its architectural details, feel the peace of its centuries-old walls and learn about the fascinating stories and legends that surround this iconic place.

    Vic is an excellent guide. He is very responsive via whatsapp. He speaks English, Spanish, and Tzʼutujil and explains the complex history of the area well. His prices are good as compared to similar tours. I took the tour as a solo woman and felt very safe with him and the driver and a second guide-in-training. We encountered crazy traffic on the way back that would have prevented me from being able to get a boat back to my hotel but Vic called a friend and negotiated a private boat ride for me for a fraction of what it would normally cost. I highly recommend this tour but allow more time than stated in the description.

    I had the opportunity to travel like a local to visit the ruins. It was an unforgettable experience. Victor gave me a lot of information on Mayan history and I got to see the end of a traditional ceremony. I definitely recommend booking this tour.
