so we went on a tour with volton tours
and Panthro was our tour guide he was
excellent we loved him so much he picked
us up here at V s Amaya he was with them
sometimes at other tours so this wasn't
a typical tour that he does with
visitors here via samaya but since I
wanted to just check out one of the
towns and wanted to learn more about the
place he agreed to take us and it was
$80 for the two of us let's see we left
at 11 a.m. and we came back around I'm
gonna say 5:30 we're supposed to come
back around 3:30 so he you know he
didn't rush us he anything we wanted to
check out he was willing to do and he
was just so awesome and so knowledgeable
you know he showed us around San Juan
which was about he said in total as a
45-minute ride which we an even think it
took that long to us it felt like 20
minutes but yeah you just catch a bow
from PS Amaya you kind of wave a boat
down usually but since he was already
coming through we just met him on the
bow and it was 25 Q to get there which I
believe is about $3 theta4 doll or
something like that it's cheaper for the
locals to take the boat a little bit
more expensive for visitors since you
can afford a little bit more and yeah so
we spent the day in San Juan learned
about the hand weaving the woman's coop
so when they finished obedience the be
coordinated that spindle is part of my
neck
laughing Wow no need in those days
brother saying that nothing right now
what you are seeing is just an instant
time and press your the Wow so there is
a label on each of those items
we learn - you know the weaving the
process of the help
it's made from cotton I had no idea that
you know textiles were made that way
from you know like they really mean it
these are handmade from the cotton they
pick from the trees and they die you
know they make the yarn they die the
yarn with different types of vegetables
so yeah that demonstration was awesome
they do demonstrations everywhere in San
Juan so definitely do that
[Music]
we learned about the church the culture
we had some great local food we had this
orange with ground squash on it that was
great so you have to try that if you go
to San Juan
that's pumpkin seed ground up on
[Music]
the great surprise was the coffee shop a
coffee shop had some excellent coffee
and Pedro showed us they have like a
little like a mock plantation of showing
they used to be a real plantation but
they took it elsewhere and they he
showed us how to pick beans and what
kind of beans to pick and he also told
us that Guatemalan coffee is the best in
the world because they hand-picked them
and the only ones that hand-picked the
coffee beans and know which ones are the
best whereas other countries use
machines this down here produces a lot
of organic coffee organic coffee and
what we have here is just the transition
for people Cee you know how is the
coffee the colors and everything so they
don't harvest here but how can the crops
they have helps with the process okay so
this is just for show this is this is
just for you to see but only a coffee
plantation although I was make okay but
genes they establish here the coffee
shop we decided to keep it so people can
see yeah yeah okay so like how it was
yeah was once a plantation there are
many seats around once it goes on the
ground and then it goes way to little
bit so they catch it when they're
leaving and then they plant it they put
it on bags like this sure for one year
you know after one year it goes like
this then it's way to replant it
concrete Chris GPA will add some seeds
to catch any of them one this one that
one is it one these are coffee yeah yeah
yeah so just pick one what happens if
you bite it
just take one
yes eat you throw it do you see the
outsider
no need outside just chew it like a
candy this way no this way it's sweet
yeah
just enjoy it yeah just the sweetness
just looks like lima beans yeah
Wow oh yeah and then you roast it mm-hmm
oh that's awesome you're here you just
make more trees and then you get all
different way to move it oh it's really
interesting because have you see right
here you see you guys see that the the
riskiness corn now we just get the means
the coach goes behind which is what they
so the coffee feeds the coffee yes so
just one this just one the seats are
like this that we put in in a tank with
water with every 28 hours fermentation
we had some coffee there and it was
seriously the best coffee I've ever had
in my life and I'm not even exaggerating
it was that good yes so we just walked
around town and learned so much from pet
dog
