Unforgettable vibrant culture

Travel to Guatemala and take in its vibrant culture, heritage and natural beauty. This charismatic country has so much to offer; you won't be disappointed.

Trek through the depths of the jungle to view volcanoes and explore miles of caves and underground rivers. A variety of wildlife is found here, such as iguanas, jaguars, and monkeys. As you stroll along the centuries-old paths between these ancient structures in Tikal National Park, you will be captivated by the huge Mayan temples rising from the jungle canopy. Chichicastenango welcomes you back into modern civilization with its traditional weaving techniques that are still used today. This vibrant town is known for its colorful handicrafts. Old-world charm meets modern luxury in Antigua, a historic city with a unique atmosphere of intrigue and wonder. Originally the capital of Guatemala, Antigua is characterized by its colonial architecture and prominent Spanish influence. Wander through quaint cobblestone streets and sample the local cuisine.

As a top travel destination, Guatemala's local governments are increasing conservation efforts to drive economic growth and minimize environmental impacts. In Guatemala you can support its sustainable initiatives, youth education, and artisants through visits and activities organized with our non-profit partners. Your stay in chosen luxury eco-lodges and boutique hotels will support independent coffee producers and women's weaving cooperatives while improving conditions in remote villages.
