And Pedro was our tour guide.

He was excellent.

We loved him so much.

Hey, picked us up here at VSO.

Maya.

He works with them sometimes on other tours.

So this wasn't a typical tour that he does with visitors here of es Maya.

But since we wanted to just check out one of the towns on wanted to learn more about the place he agreed to take us, and it was $80 for the two of us.

Um, let's see, we left at 11 a.m. And we came back around.

I'm gonna say 55 30 were supposed to come back around 3 30 So he you know, he didn't Russia's he anything we want to check out?

He was willing to dio, and he was just so awesome and so knowledgeable.

Um, you know, he showed us around San Juan, which was about, um he said in total was a 45 minute ride, which I didn't even think it took that long to us.

It felt like 20 minutes.

You just catch a boat from the SM.

I You kind of wave a boat down usually.

But since he was already coming through.

We just met him on the boat and it waas 25 Q to get there, which I believe is about $3 to $4.

Something like that.

It's cheaper for the locals to take the boat a little bit more expensive.

Or, um, visitors, since you can afford a little bit more.

And, um, you know?

So we spent the day in San Juan, learned about the hand weeding the woman's CO up.

So when they finished a video, yes, they connected with that spindle is for my so need.

Okay, Does this weigh right now?

What you're seeing is just an instant time.

Wow.

So there's a neighbourhood on each of those items.

Way learned.

She know the weaving, the process of it, how it's made from continent.

I had no idea that, you know, textiles were made that way from, you know, like they really mean it It these air handmade from the cotton they picked from the trees and they die.

You know, they make the yarn, they dye the yarn with different types of vegetables.

So yet that demonstration was awesome.

They do demonstrations everywhere in San Juan, so definitely do that way.

Learned about the church, the culture.

We have a great local food.

We had this orange with ground squash on it that was created.

So you have to try that if you go to San Juan.

See, I e.

That's pumpkinseed ground up.

Great surprise was the coffee shop.

Coffee shop has an excellent coffee, and Pedro showed us they have, like a little like a mock plantation of showing.

They used to be a real plantation, but they took it elsewhere, and they he showed us how to pick beans and what kind of means to pick.

And he also told us that Guatemalan coffee is the best in the world because they handpicked them and the only ones that handpicked the coffee beans and no, which ones are the best, Whereas other countries use machines.

These down here produces a lot of organic chemicals and that when we have a here's just a condition people see, you know, how is the cookie cutters and everything, so they don't have it here.

But how can the crops they have cops would be all the process.

Okay, so this is just for show thing is just for you to see what was originally a coffee plantation.

Although I waas make change the way they decided to keep it so people can see Yeah, yeah, yeah, Like Waas was once a plantation usually goes like there are many seats around once it goes on the ground and any goes by tell a little bit.

So they cartoon with their leader and in the planted, they put it on Barry like, sure, for one year after one year was like this to replant it concrete.

Then you definitely want these one.

Not want to be one.

He's our coffee.

Yeah.

Just what happened?

Did you bite it?

Just take one.

Just like so what?

I'm gonna do proceeds.

You throw it to see the outside.

Don't side just to it.

Make a country.

Definitely.

It's sweet justice.

Yeah, just the sweet matches.

Looks like lima bees.

Yeah.

Wow.

Yeah, And then you roast it.

Oh, that's awesome.

More here.

Then you just toss it.

But you make more trees, and then you get all the different.

I'm going to move it and then you're moving like this.

Oh, yeah.

There.

You see?

Coming up climbing?

Yeah, it's really interesting, because have you seen right here?

You can see that the thick skin is gone.

Now we just get the means The hopes go behind, which is what they use for.

So the coffee feeds the coffee?

Yes.

So just one this Just want the seats are like this.

They would put it in in a tank with water with their dignity.

$20.

That's the step of fermentation.

Way had some coffee there, and it was seriously the best coffee I've ever had in my life.

And I'm not even exaggerating.

It was that good?

Yes.

We just walked around town and learned so much from pedals.

If you're looking for a tour like a tit one, definitely look into Bolton Tours.
