Guatemala

The Lure of Central America (Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua)

Antigua → Managua 13 days Up to 16

About this trip

Thirteen days across four countries, moving through colonial towns, Maya ruins and volcanic landscapes with a small group and a guide the whole way.

You'll spend time in Guatemala's highlands, cruise Lake Atitlan to villages home to the Tzutujil Maya, cross into Honduras for the ruins at Copan, then work through El Salvador and Nicaragua taking in Suchitoto, Leon, Granada and the quiet of Ometepe Island.

It's a trip built around contrast — busy markets and lakeside villages, grand ruins and laid-back island beaches, colonial history and volcanic scenery, all in one route.

What you'll do

  • Wander Antigua's colonial streets under the gaze of three volcanoes
  • Visit the Mayan site of Iximche and villages around Lake Atitlan
  • Explore the Copan ruins, a UNESCO World Heritage Maya site in Honduras
  • Walk the colonial streets of Suchitoto on Lake Suchitlan
  • Unwind on the secluded beaches of Ometepe Island in Nicaragua
  • Compare Leon and Granada, Nicaragua's old rival cities
Good to know
  • Covers four countries in 13 days, so expect regular travel days between stops
  • Moderate pace with a mix of city exploring, ruins, and time by the lake
