Our Guatemala Tours 

Guatemala, from a tourism point of view, is probably best known for its Mayan archaeological site, Tikal. However, there is much more to be experienced on a Guatemala vacation. The country is divided into volcanic mountains, hilly valleys and a coastal plain that is sandwiched between the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea. The terrain is varied consisting of wetlands, lakes, rivers and lagoons as well as many impressive mountains. Guatemala’s Mayan heritage can also be seen in some form just about everywhere.

Guatemala Vacation Highlights

Antigua 

Antigua, a UNESCO world heritage site, is a picture-perfect colonial-style city with a mild climate where time appears to have come to a standstill. It is set in gorgeous surroundings nestled between three volcanoes and is known for its well-preserved Spanish baroque-influenced architecture. The colourful daily market is well worth a visit to purchase souvenirs or just to watch the activity on Guatemala vacations. An impressive building in Antigua is the Cathedral of San Jose.

Chichicastenango

Chichicastenango has an almost magical atmosphere. It is surrounded by mountains and valleys. Much of its charm comes from the colourful cobblestone streets and the red-tiled roofs of many of the houses. Chichicastenango is famous for its wonderful markets which sell everything from crafts including ceramics and wood carvings to food and flowers. One prominent building is the Santo Tomas Church which is 400 years old.

Lake Atitlan

Lake Atitlan is a beauty spot and a major tourist centre on a Guatemala vacation. This very large lake has received many accolades over the years. The scenery surrounding it is breathtakingly beautiful. This includes three towering volcanoes. The lake is ringed by attractive small towns, one of which is Panajachel, probably the most important tourist centre after Antigua. The area around Lake Atitlan offers the opportunity to visit nature reserves or take part in activities such as hiking, biking and bird watching.

Tikal

The jewel in the crown of a Guatemala vacation is usually Tikal, one of the largest and most important Mayan archaeological sites in existence. Tikal reached its influential peak over one thousand years ago with 100,000 inhabitants. There are around 3000 structures including many temples, towering pyramids and other relics, and excavation activities are still discovering many more.
