Guatemala andTikal
Multisport Tour

Hike, Bike, Kayak, Zip Line Canopy Tour, and Explore Archeological Sites in the Cradle of the Mayan Civilization

This exhilarating itinerary takes you to the country's highlights plus off-the-beaten path destinations to explore Guatemala like few will! Climb an active volcano, bike through spectacular scenery on local trade routes, kayak on renowned Lake Atitlan, see the spectacular ruins of Tikal and visit colorful local markets.

Days 1-3 Antigua-Chichicastenango-Cerro Quemado. Transfer from the airport in Guatemala City to the former colonial capital and World Heritage Site of Antigua for a stroll through its cobblestone streets. Visit the market and artesans in Chichicastenango and bike and hike through some of the country's most spectacular scenery in the highlands of "Alaska" along local paths.

Days 4-5 Lake Atitlan-Cerro de Oro-Los Tarales-Pacaya National Park. Kayak what many have called "the most beautiful lake in the world" and gaze at the surrounding volcanoes. Pass local fishermen, indigenous Mayan women doing their chores and men working the fields in their embroidered Santiago shorts. Hike to a spectacular lookout high above Lake Atitlan, visit a nature reserve and top it off with an exhilarating zipline tour.

Days 6-7 Antigua-Pacaya Volcano. Tour a coffee farm and participate in the coffee-making process. Then bike toward the coastal lowlands before hiking to the top of Pacaya Volcano, where we peer down at the spewing lava and enjoy spectacular views to the coast. A late afternoon flight takes us to the northern rainforest in Peten.

Days 8-9 Peten-Tikal-Guatemala City. A guided tour of Tikal, the mystical center of the Mayan civilization set deep in the jungle, is a must for any visit to Guatemala! Watch for howler and spider monkeys and coatimundis as you wander the grounds amid the various temples. An afternoon flight returns us to Guatemala City for a free evening to enjoy the nightlife before being transfered the following morning to the airport for flights home.
