Guatemala Adventures - Something For Everyone
ABOUT GUATEMALA
With 37 volcanoes, 23 separate languages, 19 unique ecosystems and countless Mayan and Colonial ruins, it is no surprise that Guatemala - a nation no larger than Tennessee - is cited four times at the #1 Bestseller, 1,000 Places to See Before You Die.
Guatemala helicopter tours , Guatemala's most beautiful and historical town, is like having a little bit of Europe, just south of their boundary, but in a fraction of the price. Also, with daily direct flights from New York, Los Angeles, Houston, Miami, Atlanta and Dallas, Guatemala is easy to access and in less time than it takes to fly to Europe or Hawaii.
ABOUT ANTIGUA
Nestled between three stunning volcanoes in Central America, Antigua, Guatemala is among the world's earliest and most beautiful colonial cities.
In Antigua travelers explore the ruins, museums, art galleries, restaurants and shops that are dotted throughout the famed cobblestone streets of this former capital of Guatemala. Centrally situated, Antigua is also the perfect base from which to take short trips to other popular destinations like Lake Atitlan, the Pacific Coast and the world famous Mayan Temples of Tikal.
So whether you want a leisurely horse carriage ride during this centuries old town, or a day at the outdoor market discovering incredible hand-crafted paintings, or even a heart-pounding trip through the tree-tops onto a zip-line... whatever could inspire and renew you is likely to be found in Antigua...
ABOUT LAKE ATITLAN
Maybe it occurs when you're gazing at the towering volcanoes disappearing into the distance as you encounter an ancient, blue coloured lake on your way to discover your next lakeside Mayan Village. Or perhaps it strikes you when you are enjoying the rising sun on a morning in a place so beautiful it makes you grab your breath. Here, in this enchanting place, it happens - you disconnect, then reconnect to something that profoundly enriches and renews.
Regarded as among the most beautiful lakes in the world, Lake Atitlan is a gorgeous all-natural wonder that has seduced travelers for centuries. Ringed by three soaring volcanoes, the crystal blue lake of Atitlan is home to over a dozen lakeshore villages. In lots of the villages the Mayan civilization is still widespread and the traditional dress is still worn.
Complementing the standard villages are some"funky tourist cities" such as Panajachel, San Marcos and San Pedro, where travelers from around the world meet, mix and have fun. Atitlan is a really unique wonder of the Earth, or as one recent visitor described it Lake Atitlan is like getting too much of a fantastic thing! Only a short distance from the lake is the world renowned open market of Chichicastenango. In Chichi, tourists get a glimpse into another world full of Mayan rituals, dances, processions and obviously an infinite selection of spectacular and authentic Guatemalan handmade products.
ABOUT TIKAL
The undisputed heart of Ancient Mayan Society, Tikal sits at the heart of Guatemala's northern rain forest -making this sacred area the home of Mayan history as well as home to countless species of monkeys, toucans and parakeets.
The Tikal National Park, a protected area some 370 square km, is a shifting, mystical experience for people - emphasized by the magnificent volcano ruins of the lost Mayan universe. For many years people from around the globe have come to Tikal to transfer their heads, bodies and spirits back in time while watching a new day sunrise at sunrise as they're surrounded by the ancient Temples of Tikal.
