About us
“Weaving dreams, embroidering stories and untying the knots of our days.”

Hilar Tours is a travel agency from San Marcos, Guatemala. Our name comes from hilar, Spanish for spinning threads together to create something new. That is how we weave every trip: joining territory, communities, food and nature into authentic experiences.

We work with local guides, bakers, coffee growers and families from the communities we visit, so every tour leaves value in the place and a memory in the traveler.

  • Local, responsible tourism. We prioritize San Marcos businesses and products.
