Unveiling the Heart of Guatemala's Culture

The Guatemala List was born from the passion of Fernando Ruiz Matamoros, a Guatemalan dedicated to sharing the living culture of his homeland with the world. What began as a personal project to document Guatemala’s most authentic traditions soon grew into a mission to preserve them and to ensure they continue to inspire future generations.

As the journey unfolded, The Guatemala List naturally expanded into offering cultural experiences. Travelers from around the world began seeking not only to watch these stories but to live them.
Today, our expeditions invite you into the heart of Guatemala, its celebrations, its communities, and its landscapes.

These journeys have become one of the most meaningful ways to present the country to the world while continuing to support the mission of documenting its heritage.

From the processions of Semana Santa to the giant kites of Sumpango, every experience is created with care, designed to educate, inspire, and create a genuine connection with the cultural richness of Guatemala.

We invite you to explore Guatemala with us, through its traditions, its people, and the stories that make this country unlike any other.
