Why visit Guatemala?
An authentic land of contrasts
Guatemala unfolds its landscapes between smoking volcanoes and tropical forests, where the echoes of Mayan civilization still resonate. The markets of Chichicastenango fill the air with copal incense while women weave their huipils with ancestral patterns. Lake Atitlán reflects the peaks surrounding it, creating a breathtaking natural tableau.
Each region reveals a different facet: the temples of Tikal emerge from the canopy, Antigua preserves its colonial charm among cobblestones and colorful facades. A tailor-made trip allows you to explore these treasures at your own pace, accompanied by a local agent who shares the secrets of this ancient culture.
What must you see in Guatemala?
Tikal stands out as the must-see destination with its Mayan pyramids dominating the jungle of Petén. Antigua captivates with its well-preserved colonial architecture, while Lake Atitlán offers an exceptional natural setting surrounded by volcanoes. The indigenous markets of Chichicastenango and Sololá reveal the country's cultural authenticity. Climbing Pacaya volcano allows you to experience fascinating volcanic activity.
What type of trip should you choose?
Guatemala is ideally suited for a tailor-made trip of 12 to 18 days, combining cultural discovery and natural immersion. Archaeology and hiking enthusiasts will find what they're looking for, as will travelers seeking cultural authenticity. An average budget of 2,200 euros per person allows you to enjoy charming accommodations and exclusive experiences with specialized local guides.
