Guatemala is one of Central America’s hidden gems. Lush and volcanic and steeped in Mayan lore, it is a rich mix of natural wonder, native tradition and colonial elegance, much of it as yet unspoiled by the trappings of modern tourism. This incredible adventure takes you deep into the central highlands to Antigua and to the breathtaking volcanic landscapes around Lake Atitlan. Visit the traditional Mayan villages of the Ixil Triangle, pick coffee with local farmers and journey by boat to the remote Mayan site of Aguateca. Rising above the jungle canopy, the reminders of a once great Mayan civilisation cast their bewitching shadow across the Guatemalan landscape. Towering pyramids pierce the skyline as you gaze upon the remnants of one of the most dynamic and sophisticated civilizations ever to grace the highlands and coastal plains of the Americas. Finish this journey with a visit to the unique community of the Garifuna on the shores of the Caribbean. Beyond the ruins of Tikal the Mayan spirit lives on, in the villages and settlements that cling to Guatemala’s low lying plains and fertile mountains.
