More about Turismo Ixil:
Turismo Ixil began as a restaurant in January of 2002. CE Solutions worked with local constituents to leverage the restaurant infrastructure and create additional businesses over time. In January of 2004, local leadership assumed 100% ownership of these ventures through sweat equity and since that time, we have supported the work of Turismo Ixil as needed and requested by this leadership.
