Upcoming Sacbé Tours
Día de Los Santos (All Saints’ Day) Kite Festival
A profoundly moving yet joyful experience. Families honor the dead with giant, handcrafted kites soaring over cemeteries. The scenes in Santiago Sacatepéquez and Sumpango are legendary. We offer a premium route that includes the best kite-flying locations plus the colorful horse races in Todos Santos Cuchumatán.
Fiesta de Santo Tomás – Chichicastenango
Fireworks, Palo Volador (pole flyers), posadas, and one of Guatemala’s most vibrant indigenous markets. Our December rides deliver you to the heart of the action while keeping the motorcycle experience world-class.
Vispera de Año Nuevo (New Year’s Eve)
Close the riding season with fireworks, spontaneous dancing, and the unforgettable toritos — dancers in frames loaded with bottle rockets charging through the crowds. Antigua’s clock tower countdown under the Arco is pure magic. Premium New Year packages include special dinners and first-class vantage points.
Carnival – Retalhuleu & Livingston
February. Ride the Pacific slope or the Caribbean coastal roads and join Guatemala’s friendliest, most family-oriented Carnival. Think colorful parades, Caribbean rhythms in Livingston, and relaxed beachside evenings. Our routes keep the riding exciting while delivering you to the best vantage points.
Semana Santa (Holy Week) – Antigua
The crown jewel of Latin American Holy Week. We time our premium Antigua ride so you witness the creation of monumental alfombras (sawdust and flower carpets) and stand among the crowds as towering processions pass.
Jueves de Ascensión – Lake Chicabal
May 9th. A private-feeling highland ride to the sacred Mam Maya crater lake. Traditional music, flower offerings, and deep cultural respect. Photography is limited — presence is everything. We handle the logistics so you can simply absorb the moment after an exhilarating morning ride.
Rabin Ajau – National Indigenous Folkloric Festival, Cobán
Late July. One of Guatemala’s most authentic cultural gatherings. Indigenous groups from every region perform ancestral dances and music. Watch the Queen pageant honoring Maya values and tradition. Our Cobán route combines dramatic cloud-forest roads with deep cultural immersion.
Fiesta de Santiago – Antigua
July 25th. Town fair energy with processions, live music, folk dancing, and carnival rides. Perfect mid-summer ride through coffee plantations and volcanoes, followed by evenings of celebration in the colonial heart of Antigua.
Fiesta de la Virgen de la Asunción
August 15th. Ride to Guatemala City, or the lakeside town of Sololá, for vibrant parades and the moving sight of the Virgin’s effigy carried through the streets. Spectacular highland riding options available.
Independence Day - Quetzaltenango
Independence Day - September 15th.
Blue-and-white flags everywhere. Military parades, regional fairs, and fireworks. Quetzaltenango delivers one of the biggest celebrations — we build in epic highland loops so you can ride the glory of the day.
