Why take your next vacation in Guatemala?

It’s an exciting country that’s easy (and safe) to visit with our expertise — professional transportation, guides, and comfortable amenities ensure that you can get lost in the beauty of our nation’s lakes, jungles, volcanoes, ruins, vibrant cities, and friendly people.

This trip offers education and adventure.

We’ve designed this Signature Trip to be educational and fun. Tikal is a reminder of how people lived thousands of years ago. Cities filled with colonial architecture show the difference between recent history, and the present. Then, of course, there are the living Mayans you'll meet…

3 reasons you’ll have fun…

  1. Chichicastenango Village’s lively market will pull you in, even if you don’t usually enjoy shopping.
  2. Become a proper adventurer when you make your way through luscious jungles to explore ruins.
  3. It’s one thing to read about Mayans in books, and another to meet their modern day descendants.
