Antigua
Nestled between three dramatic volcanoes, Antigua is one of the most beautiful cities in the Americas. Located just an hour’s drive from Guatemala City, magnificent Antigua has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with cobbled streets winding past colourful colonial buildings and charming plazas. As well as stunning monasteries and cathedrals, there is an outstanding variety of restaurants and popular bars, whereas the surrounding coffee farms and quaint Mayan villages make for a great day excursion.

Lake Atitlán & Chichicastenango
Surrounded by breathtaking volcanoes and traditional Mayan villages, Lake Atitlán is a magical, deep-blue volcanic crater lake best explored by boat. Each village clinging onto the mountain-side or lake shore has its particular characteristics, fiestas and markets and it is here that you see the blazing colours of Mayan dress. Not to be missed is a visit to the nearby highland region to experience the famous Chichicastenango market where villagers come to sell their very colourful textiles, flowers and fruit. You will be amazed by the harmonious mix of ancient Mayan tradition, mysticism and modern religion. @Bold:Tikal & Yaxhá National Park

Tikal & Yaxhá National Park
For many the main draw to Guatemala, Tikal is one of the most spiritually powerful spots on earth with its towering Mayan pyramids looming out of the thick jungle canopy. More than 3000 structures include palaces, ceremonial platforms and avenues, whereas roaring howler monkeys, squawking parrots and toucans provide nature’s soundtrack to all visitors in the area. Yaxhá, the lesser visited, atmospheric Mayan site is equally rich with wildlife and is especially picturesque at sunset. Gateway to both national parks is the charming town of Flores with its scenic location on Lake Petén Itza.
