We Journeyed Together
8 Day Guatemala Itinerary
This had been a memorable family vacation for us. Guatemala is a beautiful country, and Anywhere welcomed us warmly from the moment we landed.
This trip was so memorable because…
Anywhere welcomed us warmly from the moment we landed. It was nice to see a friendly face from the many times we communicated prior to the trip. We stayed in Antigua for the first part of the trip and visited different destinations from there: a canopy tour, one day at Tikal National Park, and finally, a horse ride trip up to Pacaya Volcano.
Comfortable accommodations all around…
Not only were the activities amazing, but the hotels were also great too! At Casa Santo Domingo, we were pleasantly surprised by how fancy our room was. There were a few museums on the premises for us and the kids to explore.
Tailored to our appetite for adventure…
Our kids are good travelers at ages 7 and 9, and Anywhere really helped put together a comprehensive trip that catered to all of our interests. We especially appreciated everyone adjusting the schedule and logistics to accommodate our kid's sprained ankle. Thank you!
