  • Chula Tours

    Winner of Programa Impulsa 2016

    Chula Tours is  an award-winning tour operator  offering authentic and unique experiences in El Paredon. This includes day packages and week long cultural immersion experiences for families, groups and students. The tours are sold at both Paredon Surf House and The Driftwood Surfer due to their quality and reliability.

    The tours provide an alternative income stream for our local guides and hosts and contribute to the conservation of the local environment. All profits are reinvested in La Choza Chula’s community development projects.

    Chula Tours mangrove tour

    With the popularity of El Paredon with both tourists and travellers ever increasing, the area will soon be classified as a protected area in Guatemala, which means it is essential that guides are trained and hold a license to deliver tours. We work closely alongside INTECAP (Instituto Técnico de Capacitación y Productividad) succesfully training 9 local guides to become a certified guides, whilst also giving them free English classes in the process.

    In 2016 Chula Tours generated £4,500 for the local community
