Tecpán has much to offer
Many tourists drive though Tecpan on their way to Lake Atitlan without stopping. It’s a shame as if you like the outdoors then Tecpan has much to offer including the Pre-Columbian Mesoamerica archaeological site of Iximche.
Finca San Ricardo
A great place to stay is Finca San Ricardo. Formally, a historic family poultry and dairy farm to which the 5th generation Lembke family have lovingly converted into a rural hotel and restaurant. Their idea was to show country life to city slickers! Since then, Finca San Ricardo has become one of the most popular places to stay in Tecpan.
Getting out of your car, you immediately notice the freshness and cleanness of the air, the wonder of pine trees and hills. Many say that the Tecpan area has a Swiss feel!
There are so many activities that Finca San Ricardo can arrange for you. For example, horseback riding; guided mountain biking and hiking tours; a visit to a gerbera flower fields or perhaps a private bus tour and picnic at the stunning Laguna Chichoy.
Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, the restaurant is noted for its locally sourced chorizo, sausages, steaks and ribs. Not to be missed for breakfast is their grilled bell pepper stuffed with cheese, smoked chorizo and eggs!
The hotel has 17 rooms including some family rooms that can accommodate up to 5 people. For a romantic getaway, consider a suite with Jacuzzi and working fireplace! A. rooms come with cable TV, Wi-Fi and mini bar.
Just 45 minutes from Antigua
With the new road bypassing Chimaltenango, Finca San Ricardo is now only 45 minutes from Antigua. It’s certainly a time for a visit!
