Guatemala’s volcanic landscapes offer epic adventures.

Guatemala is the heart of the ancient Mayan world. Explore Tikal, where towering pyramids rise above the jungle canopy, and listen as howler monkeys call through the trees. Visit lesser-known gems like Yaxhá or El Mirador for a quieter, more immersive experience. Each site offers a breathtaking connection to a civilization that shaped history.

Each village around the lake has its own charm, from artisan markets in San Juan to the laid-back vibes of San Pedro. It’s a place that feels like pure tranquility.
