Reception at La Aurora International Airport (GUA) and transfer to Antigua Guatemala for overnight accommodation

Your adventure begins today! Our local guide will meet you at the hotel and accompany you on a pleasant walk through the charming cobblestone streets, discovering why Antigua is considered a true colonial gem. After a lunch break, we will transfer you to the northern part of the city for an entertaining tour of a coffee plantation founded in 1883. Afterwards, you will participate in an artisanal chocolate workshop and visit the coffee and Indigenous musical instruments museum, including a tasting experience. You will return around 5:30 pm. Overnight in Antigua

First, you will accompany our Maya chef as she shops for the ingredients needed to prepare the lunch you will enjoy at midday. During this visit, your soul will be revived by an explosion of colors — from the wide variety of fruits and vegetables to the traditional attire of the Maya women who come to sell their products. Afterwards, you will not only learn how to prepare delicious dishes from ancestral Maya cuisine, but you will also help cook them before sharing the meal with the chef’s family. In the afternoon, you will visit several villages around the valley while enjoying beautiful landscapes before returning to your hotel. (OPTION: If you prefer, you may replace the gastronomic tour with a full day at Hobbitenango, a charming theme park inspired by Tolkien’s novels, located at 2,800 meters above sea level and offering beautiful scenery and activities.)

You will head into the mountains of the Mayan highlands, enjoying beautiful landscapes and an excellent traditional Guatemalan breakfast on the way to Chichicastenango, home to the largest and oldest Indigenous market in Central America. Our local Maya guide will welcome you and share the most relevant aspects of the living Maya culture and the region. You will also have time to shop for handicrafts, take lovely family photos, and taste the local cuisine. In the afternoon, we will transfer you to the beautiful Lake Atitlán to visit the ‘Mayan Atlantis’ museum (the archaeological site of Samabaj, currently submerged). Free afternoon.

Accomodation in Panajachel.

You will sail across the beautiful Lake Atitlán to visit the picturesque village of San Juan La Laguna, full of life, color, and vibrant living Maya culture. You will ascend to the ‘Kaqasiiwaan’ viewpoint (‘hill of the red man,’ the spiritual guardian of the community) to delight your soul with the best panoramic view of the lake and its volcanoes. Our Maya guide will accompany you so you can fully enjoy the place, its people, and its gastronomy. Return to Panajachel around 5 pm for overnight accommodation.

On your way back to beautiful Antigua Guatemala, you will stop to explore the ruins of Iximché, accompanied by our Mayan guide. Founded between 400 BC and 200 AD, this ancient city later became the Maya‑Cakchiquel capital and witnessed the arrival of the conquistadors, who established the first capital of Central America here in 1524 — the birthplace of Guatemala’s rich cultural fusion. After this journey through history, enjoy a free afternoon to relax in Antigua before your overnight stay

You’ll now embark on a hike with our expert local guide, ascending to the summit of Pacaya Volcano. Over the course of 3–4 hours, you’ll traverse landscapes shaped by fire, walk past fields of ancient petrified lava, and witness active lava flows. A light snack is included along the way, and you’ll even have the chance to melt marshmallows using the volcano’s natural heat. You’ll return to Antigua around 3:30 pm to rest and spend the night

This day is dedicated to relaxing, enjoying family time, shopping, or simply doing whatever you prefer in this ever‑beautiful colonial gem. Spa options and family activities available. Accommodation in Antigua

We will transfer you to Guatemala City, where you will first visit the fascinating Museum of Archaeology, Ethnology, and History, home to an impressive collection of Mayan artifacts and an artistic representation of the history of this small country. Next, you will enjoy a VIP tour of La Aurora Zoo, renowned for its endemic and international species, where you will have a wonderful experience feeding macaws, giraffes, lemurs, elephants, and more. After lunch, you will take your afternoon flight to the city of Flores in the north of the country. Upon arrival, you will be transferred to your hotel for rest and overnight accommodation

Finally, the day has arrived for your unmissable exploration of the legendary Mayan ruins of Tikal, so important to world archaeology that it has allowed us to divide the study of all Mesoamerican civilizations into three periods. You will not only admire its impressive architecture and the advanced development of this ancient civilization, but you will also enjoy walking and observing many exotic species of plants and animals up close, such as coatis, spider monkeys, and howler monkeys, as well as dozens of species of birds and insects. Our local guide will ensure you enjoy traveling back to the glorious past of this civilization. We include a restorative picnic lunch surrounded by the jungle, and of course, you will have countless opportunities to take beautiful photographs and create unforgettable memories with your loved ones. You will return to your hotel in Flores around 5 pm for rest and overnight accommodation.

This day is all about exploring, enjoying, and having fun as a family, choosing the activities that best match your interests before returning to your accommodation in Flores. You may choose one of the following options:

1) “Tarzan” Canopy Tour & Caves – Adventure and Nature

Begin your day at the private Ixpanpajúl Nature Park, where you’ll hike along a jungle trail and cross suspension bridges that bring you face‑to‑face with the vibrant life of the treetops. Then, enjoy an exhilarating zip‑line experience, flying through the canopy like Tarzan. In the afternoon, explore the mysterious Actún Can caves, discovering their fascinating rock formations and underground passages. You’ll return to your hotel around 4 pm.

2) Yaxhá Ruins & Lakeside Beach – More Mayan Ruins and Relaxation

Start by exploring the majestic Mayan ruins of Yaxhá, beautifully set amid the jungle. From there, take a leisurely boat ride to the ceremonial center of Topoxté, located on a small island. In the afternoon, unwind on a peaceful lakeside beach on Lake Petén Itzá, perfect for relaxing and enjoying nature before returning to your hotel around 4 pm

You will have a free morning in Flores to rest, explore on your own, or, if you prefer, take the activity you did not choose the previous day for a small additional fee. In the afternoon, we will transfer you to the local airport to board your flight back to Guatemala City. Upon arrival, you will be transferred to your hotel for your overnight stay

You will explore the fascinating city of Guatemala, beginning with a historical and panoramic tour along its main avenues on the way to the Historic Center, the epicenter of the country’s modern history and culture. You will visit major points of interest such as the National Palace of Culture and the unmissable Central Market, where you can enjoy delicious traditional dishes. Together with our guide, you will continue exploring other iconic sites in the Historic Center before visiting the shopping complexes Ciudad Cayalá and/or Oakland Place.
