Our Beginner Mountain Bike Tour in Antigua
Guatemala is one of the few places in the world, where there are 3-4 harvests with growing seasons that overlap. As corn reaches mid-height, farmers sew beans a the base of the stalks. As the corn is harvested, the beans begin their season- hence "lands of luxury".
