Favourite time of year to visit Laos
"Visiting Laos in January almost guarantees good weather! Tourism is still low, which makes visiting Laos a very authentic, adventurous experience."

What is so special about Giethoorn?
"It's often referred to as the "Venice of the Netherlands" because of its many canals and waterways. In fact, there are no roads in this village and the only way to get around is by boat, bike or foot!"
What do you love most about Giethoorn?
"Adding to its charm are the charming thatched-roof houses that line the canals. These picturesque dwellings are adorned with vibrant flowers, creating a postcard-perfect setting."

Favourite time of year to visit Giethoorn
"Spring and summer would be the best times to visit this place. However, travel responsibly and respect the village and its residents while enjoying your time in Giethoorn."

Hobbiton in Guatemala? Sure! Why not...
"Being a massive LOTR fan, I was in my element. If you are in Antigua, definitely check out this spot! The views are unbelievable and you get to geek out for a few hours."
A 'MUST' whilst you're there?
What do you love most about Hobbitenango?
"Apart from the obvious LOTR spots and activities, the views are quite simply stunning. If you get lucky like we did, you can see Acetenango and an erupting Fuego."
@callander_shaun's Top Tips
"It can get quite busy so it is best to go in the morning. If it's not already included in your tour, you can book directly through Hobbitenango's office in Antigua, as we did, or make your own way there by Uber/taxi."
Is Hobbitenango worth visiting?
"It definitely is! It's a short 30-minute drive and you can choose a time slot to come back. There are a lot of fun activities and a beautiful area to explore. Your Guatemalan Shire experience awaits..."
