Duration: 9 days/8 nights

Get ready to fall for Guatemala — a country where ancient history, dramatic landscapes, and vibrant culture all come together. Over nine unforgettable days, you’ll explore the towering pyramids of Tikal deep in the rainforest and be wowed by the stepped turquoise pools of Semuc Champey. Browse colourful stalls at the highland market of Chichicastenango, cruise across the volcano-rimmed waters of Lake Atitlán, and soak in the colonial charm of Antigua. With natural wonders and centuries-old traditions around every corner, this trip shows you just how much Guatemala has to offer — and why it deserves a spot at the top of your list.

Itinerary

Day 1 - Guatemala City
Arrive at any time. Attend a Welcome Meeting in the evening and get to know your CEO and fellow group members before the adventure begins tomorrow.

Day 2 - Guatemala City/Flores
Rise early to catch your morning flight to Flores. Located in the northeast jungle Petén region, this town is considered the gateway to nearby Mayan ruins and towering temples. After landing, have some breakfast then enjoy a guided tour of the Tikal archaeological site. Choose to relax at the hotel or go for a swim in Lake Petén Itzá this evening. Have dinner at your leisure.

Day 3 - Flores/Lanquín
Travel by private vehicle from Flores to Lanquin, a small town in the Alta Verapaz region of Guatemala, is known primarily as the gateway to Semuc Champey. Once at the hotel enjoy free time to take advantage of property amenities like the pool, or to simply relax in your new setting. The town itself also is home to the Lanquin Caves, a large cave system with interesting rock formations and a colony of bats that emerge at dusk. Maybe go check it out if there's time.

Day 4 - Lanquín
Visit the stunning natural monument of Semuc Champey today. These tiered turquoise pools have been formed by a limestone bridge over the Rio Cahabon. Afterwards return to Lanquín for free time to relax and do as you please for the remainder of the day.

Day 5 - Lanquín/Panajachel
Head to the shores of Lake Atitlán, a breathtaking, deep volcanic lake surrounded by three volcanoes: San Pedro, Tolimán, and Atitlán. The lively town of Panajachel, known for its vibrant markets of traditional textiles, will be your gateway to the lake. Upon arrival, settle in and have dinner at your leisure.

Day 6 - Panajachel
Head to Chichicastenango Market, one of the largest and most authentic indigenous markets in the Americas, offering a glimpse into both Mayan culture and Guatemalan daily life. Enjoy time here to browse and shop before returning to Panajachel. Have dinner at your leisure.

Day 7 - Panajachel/Antigua
Spend a day boating out on Lake Atitlan with beautiful views of the surrounding volcanoes and small villages. This area is known for stunning scenery and great shopping for Mayan handicrafts. Take part in a cultural tour of San Juan la Laguna where you can opt to bargain for colourful textiles and paintings from the local artisans. Sit down for a delicious lunch made at a G Adventure-supported community initiative. Leave Panajachel and Lake Atitlan behind as you travel to historic Antigua.
