About us

A local dream, created from life in the Verapaces.

Kafari Family

Fabre and Kat from Kafari Travel

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.
