Make your way to the workshop in San Antonio Aguas Calientes, a Mayan village just 30 minutes from Antigua. Meet your hosts, a Guatemalan family dedicated to creating unique local products.
Learn to make your own personalised hand-rolled candles, taper candles, and a Guatemalan-themed mould candle as a fun souvenir of the country. Use 100% natural beeswax and enjoy the sweet scent of honey as you work.

After the activity, explore our facility, which serves as a factory, shop, garden, and home, all in one. Discover other locally-made products, including chocolate, coffee, vanilla beans, chilli peppers, and coconut soaps.
You can get to the meeting point (our shop, “nobi”) easily by Uber or bus from Antigua.
- By Uber (approx. Q60 - Q90): Search “nobi”, it will take approx. 30 minutes from the centre of Antigua.
- By bus (Q7 per person): Take a chicken bus with a sign “San Antonio Aguas Calientes ” at the Antigua Bus Terminal behind the Central Market. Get off near the Bodegona supermarket in the village then walk some 10 minutes to our place. Or you can take a tuk tuk, which should cost Q10 per ride.
- You can take the same bus at the Bodegona supermarket or Uber to go back to Antigua.
- Free street parking available in front of our shop.
