Mayan Route Guatemala

Eight days across Guatemala's highlands and lowland jungle, taking in indigenous markets, a volcanic lake, colonial streets, and two major Mayan sites.

You start among the textiles and market stalls of Chichicastenango and Sololá, then move to Lake Atitlán before settling into the cobbled streets of Antigua Guatemala. The trip closes with the ruins at Yaxhá and Tikal, rising out of the jungle.

Fully guided throughout, with private rooms each night, this suits travellers who want a mix of culture, colonial history, and ancient archaeology without organising the logistics themselves.
