Guatemala - Land of the Maya (Day Of The Dead)

Experience Maya life in Guatemala. Our two-week itinerary captures the old and new, visiting modern Indigenous communities thriving in the highlands of Lake Atitlan and the early Maya cities of Tikal, Quirigua, and Copan (Honduras). Ticking off the highlights and getting far from the beaten path, our Guatemalan adventure is a great introduction to the beauty and colour of ancient Central America.

Maya sites - Discover the atmospheric jungle site of Tikal and the more peaceful site of Copan. Chichicastenango Market-Experience the bustle and colour of this busy market and see the modern Maya culture come to life. Festivals - Witness the Holy Week celebrations in Antigua, or the giant kite festival celebrated as part of the Day of the Dead festivities in Sumpango.
