If you travel to Guatemala for a Guatemala holiday why not experience a Guatemala tour from one of our many tours. Guatemala is Central America in miniature. Bordered by Mexico, Belize and Honduras, Guatemala has everything from ruins to rainforests, colonial churches to Indian markets, and they are bigger, better and higher than anywhere else. Antigua, the original capital, is set in the midst of three volcanoes, Agua, Fuego and Acatenango and a wonderful town of colonial tranquillity and Mayan colour. Visit Chichicastenango at the weekend for its very colourful market, simply the best place for local arts and crafts and a photographer’s paradise. The most important Mayan ruins are to be found in the Peten jungle north of Flores, some wait to be discovered, whilst others such as Tikal, boast monumental pyramids
peaking out over the tropical canopy. For a completely different experience head down to Lake Atitlan, described by Aldous Huxley as the ‘most beautiful lake in
the world’ and enjoy the peace and serenity of the landscape whilst exploring the Mayan villages, markets and religious mysteries.
Rarely considered as a destination to visit, the littleknown country of Guatemala offer luxurious relaxation, adventurous expeditions, romantic honeymoons and family holidays. There really is something for everyone.
