pack lots of energy

Spice up your relaxing vacation with some heart-pounding activities. Enjoy a few rounds of paintball at the Finca Filadelfia coffee plantation, surrounded by a lush volcanic landscape. Or sign up for an afternoon of horseback riding outside Antigua. You might rent mountain bikes to shred up single track trails near Panajachel or Santiago Atitlán. But make sure to save some courage for your zip line ride through the canopy of Flores and Santa Elena.

don’t try to stay dry

Adventures in Guatemala aren’t complete without exploring some of the enchanting bodies of water. Iztapa and Monterrico have some of Guatemala’s best surfing. Kayak across the placid waters of Lake Atitlán, or go rafting down the Cahabón River. You can only get to the Caribbean town of Livingston by boat — a boating adventure to this Garífuna center doubles as an interesting cultural tour.
