Finca Mil Amores

Finca Mil Amores Acul sits in a misty, green valley above Nebaj. The view feels Alpine; the welcome feels rural Guatemala. As a result, it’s a favorite stop for slow mornings and quiet nights.

What it is

This is a working dairy farm with a small restaurant and a few rustic cabins. Some cabins include wood-burning fireplaces. Additionally, meals are hearty and simple. Expect house cheeses, hot tortillas, and coffee. Above all, days move at a relaxed pace.

Where it is & how to get there

Acul is just outside Nebaj in the Ixil highlands. It’s about 10 minutes by taxi. Alternatively, many visitors hike in and ride a microbus back. The road is unpaved; therefore, start early in the rainy season.

Why go

• First, the landscape is stunning: white fences, pine ridges, and drifting cloud.
• Next, cabins sit above the valley, so sunsets feel huge.
• Also, the dairy is famous for fresh cheeses.
• Moreover, the setting is quiet, which is perfect for reading or resting.
• Finally, it offers a glimpse of Ixil country life.

Things to do

• Nebaj ↔ Acul hike: Easy grades, farm tracks, and big views.
• Farm time: Walk the grounds, watch the weather, and meet the animals.
• Ixil culture: Visit Nebaj’s market and nearby villages.
• Photography: After rain, fog lifts fast; therefore, keep your camera ready.

Practical notes

• Cabins are basic but clean; bring warm layers.
• Two units usually have fireplaces; wood may cost extra.
• Overnight guests typically eat on site; ask about serving times.
• Card service is unreliable; as a result, carry cash.
• Service can be seasonal; therefore, call ahead in Nebaj to confirm.
• Finally, weather changes quickly at altitude; pack a light rain shell.
