Guatemala / Belize

  • Lake Atitlan views in Guatemala

Overview & Highlights

This highlights tour to Guatemala and Belize can’t be beaten for variety.  Combine arty Antigua, Lake Atitlán and the jungle-clad Mayan ruins of Tikal  with the tropical forest and coral island Ambergris Caye, near the dive sites of the Belize Barrier Reef.

This highlights of Guatemala and Belize trip combines two very different countries in one experience-packed holiday. Guatemala is steeped in native Mayan and Spanish colonial tradition. Belize, a truly Caribbean country, is laid-back and English-speaking.

Start off in Antigua, Guatemala’s colonial masterpiece, and continue to the serene setting of Lake Atitlán, encircled by volcanoes, handkerchief-sized fields and tiny indigenous villages. Discover Tikal, the vast ruined Mayan city where ancient temples and pyramids emerge above the rainforest canopy.

Crossing the border into Belize, enjoy a variety of outdoor activities at a lodge close to San Ignacio, and visit Caracol, the largest Mayan site in Belize. Round off the holiday on the coral beaches of Ambergris Caye in the turquoise Caribbean Sea, home to the world-renowned Belize Barrier Reef.
