About the trip

This small-group holiday by G Adventures offers a deep dive into Guatemala’s varied landscapes and culture over nine days. Begins with a day to settle before a guided tour of Tikal, where temple tops rise above the jungle canopy, giving an accidental birds-eye view of the rainforest. Days four and five bring a chance to swim in Semuc Champey’s series of stepped turquoise pools, a natural feature that manages to surprise even seasoned travellers.

The journey continues through the bustling market town of Chichicastenango, where stalls brim with local textiles and crafts, before skimming across Lake Atitlán, a lake surrounded by volcanoes and dotted with villages that retain much of their indigenous traditions. A stroll through Antigua reveals cobbled streets lined with colonial architecture, offering a change of pace and insight into Spanish colonial history.

Travelling overland, by boat and internal flight, with local guides, the tour blends natural wonders with cultural encounters. There's free time built in to linger or explore independently in places like Flores, Lanquin and Panajachel, making it less a sprint and more a paced exploration.
