About this trip
This trip moves between the highland communities of modern Guatemala and the ruined cities of the ancient Maya, with a detour into Honduras to take in Copan. You'll spend time on Lake Atitlan, wander markets thick with colour and noise, and stand among jungle-swallowed temples at Tikal.
It's built around contrast — the living culture of Indigenous villages against the quiet of archaeological sites, and if your dates line up, the spectacle of Day of the Dead kite flying in Sumpango. Fifteen days gives enough room to cover ground without rushing every stop.
