Trip Overview:
Discover the highlights of Guatemala on this 8-day Guatemala vacation, embarking on nonstop immersive cultural and natural experiences.
Begin with a two-night stay in Antigua, one of the world’s best-preserved colonial cities. Take a glimpse 300 years into the past during your Antigua walking tour, admiring the grand Central Plaza, City Hall, and the Cathedral’s beautifully intricate colonial architecture. Continue to Tanque la Union, San Francisco Church and Museum, 5th Avenue, and La Merced for more impressive architecture, embodying the city’s history as the former cultural, economic, religious, political, and educational capital. Conclude your time in Antigua with a delicious private rum-tasting tour.
Travel to Lake Atitlan, South America’s deepest lake, boasting incredible mountainous views, endless blue skies, and shimmering blue water, set 1,500m / 4,921ft above sea level. Embark on a private Santiago and Santa Catarina Palopo village tour aboard a sailing vessel. Visit Maximon, the cigar-smoking pagan saint, and explore Santa Catarina Palopo’s vibrant facade-painting project before ending your day with sunset drinks at your hotel.
Continue to Flores for your private Uaxactan tour and Yaxha Sunset tour. Venture into the heart of Uaxactún Archaeological Park and discover the ancient Maya ruins surrounded by lush, dense tropical rainforest. Make your way to the Yaxhá Archaeological Site and marvel at the sight of the setting sun blanketing over 50 structures in a beautiful orange glow as it disappears over the horizon.
Conclude your Guatemala vacation with a private tour of Tikal National Park, home to one of the world’s largest Maya archaeological sites, shrouded in mystery, lush scenery, and incredible wildlife.
