Antigua
With the Agua Volcano as a backdrop for the city and the Santa Catalina arch, Antigua is arguably one of the most picturesque towns in Central America. Start your trip by spending a few days wandering the old town before heading out to explore the rest of the country on this incredible 10-day expedition.
Iximche
Iximche is a Mayan archaeological site found in the western highlands of Guatemala, just a couple of hours away from Guatemala City. This small, lesser-visited site is of great historical importance in modern Central America, especially for Guatemala, making it a perfect archaeological site to explore.
Lake Atitlan
Lake Atitlan, in Guatemala, is a must-visit destination in Central America. You will be captivated by this stunning lake formed out of a gigantic volcanic crater and is the deepest in Central America. Beautiful volcanos and mountains surround the transparent blue water. Mayan culture is prevalent around Lake Atitlan. You will feel it everywhere, from the bright traditional clothing the women wear to the colorful weavings and handicrafts sold in the streets, where native languages are heard more than the national language of Spanish.
Semuc Champey
Semuc Champey is one of Guatemala's most pristine natural attractions, and this natural wonder is the highlight of many people's journeys in this particular country. In this natural park, turquoise water tumbles down a series of natural pools hidden in the jungle, creating a surreal destination that is as hard to get to as stunning!
Tikal
The Tikal archaeological site is vast. One of Guatemala's most important pre-Colombian Maya sites, Tikal, is the country's most famous tourist attraction. The 100-square-mile city is still largely unexplored because of the dense jungle surrounding it. But those structures that have been excavated and restored are impressive. There is a reason why so many people visit Tikal!
