About this trip

Five days gives you a solid first look at Guatemala, taking in the Mayan ruins at Tikal, the volcanoes ringing Lake Atitlán, and the colonial streets of Antigua.

It runs as a self-guided, private trip, so you move between the three at your own pace rather than as part of a fixed group.

Good for a first visit if you want a broad taste of the country's history and landscapes without committing to a longer route.

What you'll do

  • Guided tour of the Mayan temples at Tikal
  • Boat ride across Lake Atitlán
  • Wander the colonial streets of Antigua
  • Learn about local Mayan traditions and culture
Good to know
  • Private and self-guided, so timings are flexible and there's no fixed group to keep pace with
  • Five days covers three distinct regions, so expect a fair amount of travel between stops
  • Suits families and culture or nature lovers after an overview rather than deep detail
