Alex Coronado
Having grown up and lived my entire life in a place as special as Antigua Guatemala, has allowed me to involve myself in the world of travel and tourist experiences. My family is from this area and I am passionate about the experiences and perspectives that come when you connect with people from different parts of the world.
My many years as an adventure leader and guide testify to how much I love being part of real and unforgettable experiences, specially creating a cultural bond between locals and travelers.
I feel lucky to be part of the Old Town Outfitters team as we have been the leaders in Guatemala adventure travel for over 25 years. Our philosophy is based around supporting the local economy via the employment of local guides, promoting responsible travel, and sponsoring meaningful local NGO's.
What places and activities do you specialize in?
"Belize Travel Agents, Guatemala Travel Agents, Guatemala Family Travel Agents"
How did you get involved in travel?
"My parents established a Spanish school long before I was born, focused on tourists from all over the world. Since I was a child, I have always been surrounded by different people and cultures. In my innocent childhood mentality, I was so engaged and curious to see happiness in the interaction and connections of many people who came through the school.
My professional focus has always been tied to customer service, but it was in 2017 when Old Town Outfitters, Matt, and Chris extended me an opportunity to guide outdoor activities such as kayaking, volcano trekking and mountain biking around my country, a job that I enjoyed deeply and that has informed my approach to life ever since."
Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.
"Years ago, I traveled with my fiancée and my future in-laws to Saint Lucia. This was the first time I traveled internationally which made it incredibly special for me!
I was delighted with the culture of such a small island, the people were genuinely nice and helpful, but what made it so special was our guide who took us to a beautiful beach where we could snorkel and kayak through some of the mangroves. I understood firsthand how valuable the company of someone local can be to get to know the local culture and history much better. He introduced us to many people with whom we spent several days enjoying conversations and stories over beers and coconuts by the sea."
