This 5 day crafted experience invites you to travel around Guatemala with comfort, culture and natural landmarks. Known as the Land of Eternal Spring, the country greets you with warmth and immerses you in local traditions alive with color and vitality, this journey goes far beyond the ordinary.Even its name holds meaning: derived from the Nahuatl word Quaktemalan, Guatemala translates to “the land surrounded by trees” or “land full of trees,” a fitting reflection of the lush, breathtaking landscapes awaiting you.
Begin in Guatemala City, then travel north to explore the UNESCO World Heritage Site of TIKAL, one of the most trascendental cities of the ancient Mayan Civilization, nestled by the thick, emerald rainforest of Petén. As you walk underneath its towring temples and listen to the calls of howler monkeys, you’ll step into the heartbeat of a Civilization that once ruled Mesoamerica. From the jungle to the lake, explore the heart of the highlands with a scenic boat ride across Lake Atitlán, visiting villages like San Juan and San Pedro La Laguna, where local cooperatives preserve traditional textile and artesanal crafts. Here, time slows down, and every smile, mural, and woven thread tells a unique story. Next, experience the power of nature by hiking the Pacaya Volcano, one of Guatemala’s most accessible active volcanoes, among panoramic views and cooled lava fields. Finally, wander the cobbled streets of Antigua, a charming colonial gem surrounded by volcanoes and filled with cultural treasures, historic ruins, and warm Guatemalan hospitality.
Each day is crafted for your comfort, smooth transitions and immersive experiences you’ll never forget.
