I don’t actually work for or run a tour company in Guatemala. I travel there 1-2 times a year and have been to the sacred caves outside of San Jorge multiple times. I can tell you that there is rarely a scheduled ceremony, unless it is a significant day on the Mayan calendar. The first time I went there was 1 Shamen performing a ceremony for a few people. The 2nd time I went there was nothing happening at the caves. Our guide was a Shamen and he performed a ceremony for us. The 3rd time I went was last September on Dia de Agua, a very important day on the Mayan calendar. The caves were packed. At least a dozen different Shamen all performing various ceremonies based on the needs of the people. I am sorry there isn’t something more concrete but the Mayans are more spiritual rather than religious in my experience(those who haven’t been converted to Christianity) which doesn’t require service at 10 on Sunday. There is always a chance someone will need spiritual healing and they go there with a Shamen for the ceremonies. Each area is for different ceremonies. One cave is used to remove the bad spirit or things in your life. Another is used to bring the good into your life, health, fortune, children etc. there are some open areas they perform the ceremonies which if you explore around the area a little you will find the sites that ceremonies have been held at if none are going on when you go. I hope that helps a little. I’ll be in Panajachel 3/23-3/27, just before you it looks like. But if you’re there while I am I would be happy to meet and maybe help you further with your experience.

I did not. I was staying in Panajachel which is only 4km from San Jorge where this particular ceremonial site is located. I imagine you could get picked up from Antigua for this experience. I would check with Elizabeth Bell tours which is based in Antigua. She has all kinds of cultural activities and a great walking tour of Antigua. If you do the walking tour make sure you have Elizabeth herself guide the tour. She is amazing and her knowledge of Guatemala it’s history and culture is probably the best of any foreigner living in Guatemala.

I couldn’t see all of the question. If you work with Elizabeth Bell tours out of Antigua, she can set up pick up and everything from a logistics standpoint. Otherwise there are no real scheduled times for tours as these caves sit on the side of a mountain and you hike to them. Often there are ceremonies but I have been when there was nothing happening at the caves too. One of the companies out of San Juan can pick up in Panajachel by the church and you can chicken bus the 4km to San Jorge or make other arrangements. You could even go without a guide if you knew where the trail to the cave starts from the main road.
