During our visit, you will have the opportunity to get to know the Mayan Kaqchiquel culture in an authentic way and the day-to-day life of local women who seek to make their routines their job. They will share their passions and concerns with you and we hope that you can too, to learn and enjoy diversity. Our experience is special because we are based on a regenerative tourism model, which can preserve culture and provide new ways of working for the future of women in Santa Cruz, having a 100% impact on the local economy.

Operated by: Mujeres de la Luna
The women of the local team welcome us and we walk through Santa Cruz, from the shore to the community, to learn about the customs, lifestyle and routines of the local people.
TRADITIONAL CUISINE: Tourists and women cook together in a wood stove in a home, to learn how to cook typical recipes, such as tamale, tamales, tortillas or puliki. Afterwards we enjoy eating what we made together.
CRAFTS WORKSHOPS: Introduction to the elaboration of fabrics and/or handmade jewelry. We learn to place the initial thread for sewing, create our first piece of jewelry, and dress in traditional Santa Cruz clothing.
TEMAZCAL EXPERIENCE: We disconnect and live the local experience of the temazcal use, a low adobe house where steam baths are taken.
