Wayeb Ceremony Tour - Western Guatemala, February 2026

Join us on a curated journey through western Guatemala to experience the special time of Wayeb firsthand. Wayeb is a sacred, ancient tradition of 5 days of prayer that is an essential part of the Mayan way of life. This is a rare tour unlike anything that most foreigners ever get to experience. We will meet in Guatemala City and then travel to Chichicastenango to visit the famous artisan market and gather supplies that will become our offerings during Wayeb. Here we will also join in ceremony with the Twins, Tatas Juan and Miguel Leon Cortez. Traveling further into the Western Highlands, we will spend time with Kakaw Chinimital, as well as the Utz K'aslemal collective who make Pacalá ceremonial cacao.Finally we will travel to an organic cacao farm in the lowlands near the Pacific Coast for the celebration at the end of Wayeb. This tour is organized by Nick Meador of Soul Lift Cacao, with translation and interpretation services by Enjoly Mar Garcia and Stephanie Álvarez. More info on th
