I have been leading tours in Guatemala and to the Giant Kites of Sumpango since 2011. It is always a highlight of my year to witness this amazing creative community achievement of giant kites and to go behind the scenes of this festival for the Day of the Dead.
We began in colonial Antigua, where I lived for eight months in 2011 - 12. For several of those months I lived in a charming small hotel where I was able to house tour participants. The courtyard featured roses, there was a small kitchen and the balcony granted us views of Volcano Fuego puffing in the distance. From the ancient statures of the maya to the etching of Jade, to the cathedrals, to the labrynth of the renowned museum Casa Domingo, to sampling pepion and playing flutes with vendors, the streets and cuisine of Antigua are an endless discovery in the blue skys and pleasant temperatures of this “land of eternal spring.”
