Exploring the world through travel is one of the best activities that one can do to enjoy food, cultures, and ways of life of others. The world has many countries and it is the responsibility of an individual to plan where they want to visit. The ease of travel to any part of the world is made easy by travel and tours companies. They help organize the itinerary from the beginning to the end. A visit to Guatemala for two nights would be fun and breathtaking from the various activities that one can engage in to have fun. Depending on where one comes from, they can arrange with the tours and travel companies in the country. For the purpose of the study, it will use the Finca Filadelfia Coffee Resort & Tours as the hotel where guests can stay. On the first day, report to the hotel in the evening and rest. In the evening have dinner at the dining room and take a bath in the warm Jacuzzi. The hotel offers pick and drop services at the Guatemala Airport at a small fee. Visitors use the travel and tour buses, which are spacious and comfortable. In the morning, one can choose their breakfast from four options. Activities for the first day include a tour on the vast coffee plantation of the hotel, which has a beautiful and scenic view. This can take place in the mid-morning and snacks will be provided by the hotel. Going back to the hotel to take lunch and allowing the visitors refresh as they prepare for the afternoon activities will help them refresh their minds. Options for the afternoon include riding the mules while exploring the sacred Mayan and learning about the culture of the locals. Visitors will come back and take dinner at the hotel and rest ready for the next day. The last day at the hotel will start early after breakfast where the visitors will go boat riding using the infamous kayaks. Snacks will be taken from the boat. The hotel will provide the lunch for the visitors at one of the best restaurants near the boat riding activities. A visit to the local villages with a focus on Santa Cruz la Laguna will keep the visitors occupied before they return to the hotel and sign out. Finca Filadelfia Coffee Resort & Tours offers free transport to Antigua since it is less than three miles from their premises.
