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.
