Fog lifts off the valley as the van leaves Antigua's cobbled streets and climbs toward green ridgelines. You step out under a stretch of avocado trees—leaves ringed in dew, fruit dull and heavy—and the farm feels both active and deliberate: ziplines strung between trunks, a small animal corral, and a shaded patio where an avocado-forward lunch waits.

Antigua was Guatemala's colonial capital; surrounding farms historically supplied the city with fruit and staples and many estates have converted to small agro-tourism sites.
Conservation
