Itinerary idea in detail

Ask us if you would also like us to arrange your international flights at our preferred rates.

  • Arrive in Guatemala City, where you will be met and driven to the historic capital of Antigua in a private vehicle.

  • Today, you will have a half-day walking tour of beautiful colonial Antigua to get your bearings and visit the many pretty squares and churches.

  • This is a free day to explore Antigua at your leisure; perhaps go on a chocolate-making tour, visit a coffee plantation, or try a volcano hike.

  • Drive from Antigua through spectacular scenery and traditional villages until you reach Quetzaltenango, in the heart of the highlands. You will also visit Chichicastenango market en route.

  • This morning, you will be transferred to Lake Atitlán via a colourful indigenous market — gain a fascinating insight into community life as locals barter for their weekly shop.

  • Today, you will take to the waters of Lake Atitlán with your private guide, visiting some of the communities dotted around the lake shores.

  • This morning you will be transferred to Antigua via Comalapa Market.

  • This morning you will be transferred to Cobán, located in the beautiful Verapaz region, known for its limestone caves and birdlife. This afternoon you will visit Ram Tzul private reserve.

  • Full-day private guided tour to the beautiful pools at Semuc Champey and nearby caves.

  • Depart Cobán this morning for the drive to Flores, the gateway city to Tikal.

  • Today you will take a private tour of Tikal. This really is one of the most outstanding places you can visit in Central America — dramatic Mayan ruins towering in the jungle with monkeys and toucans in the trees above you!

  • Transfer back to Flores for your domestic flight to Guatemala City, and onward international connection.
