Puerto Quetzal Shore Excursions in Guatemala
Located on the Pacific side of Guatemala in Central America, Puerto Quetzal is a small commercial and cruise port that is frequented by cruise ships traveling through the Panama Canal. Although there is not much to see in the Puerto Quetzal Cruise Port area itself, there is a marketplace for shopping and the pickup point for all our Perto Quetzal Shore Excursions.
The majority of our Quetzal excursions and tours are inland 1 hour around Antigua City. The area surrounding Antigua City is lush mountains with coffee plantations, inactive volcanos, and Mayan ruins. One of the most famous things Guatemala is known for is coffee.
