Exotic Culture at Hibiscus Contemporary Maya Textile Museum

One thing you should do while in Guatemalan Western Caribbean is visit the Contemporary Maya Textile Museum, localted at Hibiscus Café, Exotic Garden & Museum, at just 20 minutes from Santo Tomas de Castilla port.
Prior loading the transportation to Hibiscus, a pamphlet with instructions and information of the tour will be given to each guest. The trip to the venue takes 30-minute. Ones at Hibiscus, a host welcomes guests and pinpoints the entrance and beginning of the auto-tour. Guest will encounter with the restaurant area, which has all chairs and walls decorated with Maya Guipils (blouse used by Maya women) originals from many areas of Guatemala. The entrance to the museum is located at the back side of the restaurant. More than 50 pieces of contemporary Maya garments are displayed, each with a brief description for guests to read. Some additional literature in English, Spanish and French is available at sight; guests most return them back when finish using it. When finished looking at the museum, the Exotic Garden is the next thing to see. It is located at the back side of the museum. Heliconias and other exotic plants can be appreciated.

Take more than a tour, live an experience!

Turix is celebrating its first year of operating tours in the Western Caribbean of Guatemala, and while we have grown from offering just one tour on local transport, to over twenty five different tours over three unique travel styles, our motivations remain as strong as ever: Giving you the adventure of a lifetime, over and over again. Sharing everything we have come to know and love about all of the spectacular destinations we travel to with our guests.

Carefully crafting our trips so that they include the best that every small village, bustling city and diverse culture has to offer, from popular tourist haunts to hidden gems and the out-of-the-way attractions that are our local favorites.

Over this year we have been lucky to recruit tour leaders, road crew and office staff with the same passion for Guatemala and regional travel experience. Some are locals with that extra-special knowledge and rare insight that only comes from growing up in a place. Others simply fell in love with the culture and never wanted to leave.

We all pride ourselves on being Guatemalan specialists, and we know our destinations like the palm of our hands because we have travelled extensively to every corner of this stunning country, many times over, in every way possible.

We look forward serving you with the best that Guatemala has to offer in order to captivate your mind and give you an experience to share with family and friends back home, over and over again.

So welcome to Turix, and join us in the adventure of a lifetime as we enter our second year of leading tours to some of the best destinations our great Guatemala has to offer.
