A local dream, created from life in the Verapaces.
Hello, we are Fabre & Kat. We live in Cobán, the capital of Alta Verapaz, right in the heart of Guatemala. Travel has always been our greatest passion: discovering new cultures, finding extraordinary places and collecting adventures that stay with you for a lifetime.
Living in the Verapaces showed us how magical this region really is. The landscapes are lush and dramatic, many places still feel wonderfully untouched, and in many corners you can still feel that rare sense of discovery. That is why we decided to share our passion with travelers from around the world and help them experience this region in the best possible way—with beautiful memories, unforgettable moments and the freedom to travel well.
We are new in the travel industry, but we bring genuine motivation and dedication. Kat is a licensed tour guide for Alta Verapaz, born and raised here, and a true expert on the Verapaces. Fabre has been living in Alta Verapaz for the past year and is currently completing his own guide training. He speaks German and Italian as native languages and English at C1 level.
Our philosophy is healthy and sustainable tourism: incredible journeys that also support the region and the people who live here. We are personally involved in volunteer work across the area because we want this dream to grow in the right way. Welcome to Kafari Travel—welcome to our dream. Have a look around and we would love to hear from you.
To create authentic and unforgettable travel experiences that connect our travelers with the nature, culture and gastronomy of the Verapaces, while promoting responsible tourism that values, respects and contributes to the conservation of the region’s biodiversity and cultural richness.
To become a recognized travel agency in Guatemala, known for authentic, responsible, sustainable and high-quality experiences that position the natural, cultural and gastronomic richness of the Verapaces as a distinctive destination for travelers.
Kat grew up in Alta Verapaz and knows the region beyond the obvious stops—the big highlights, the hidden corners and the small details that change a trip.
We believe in the real Guatemala, not tourism crowds. Smaller groups create more flexibility, more calm and a more personal way of travelling.
Because we are personally involved in the region, we know the right people and businesses to support so that tourism has a more positive local impact.
We genuinely love meeting new people and travelling. For us, every journey is also an adventure, and that energy shapes the experience.
