What you'll do

From the fiery ridges of volcanoes to ancient cities submerged in the jungle, Guatemala reveals itself as a wild and fascinating land, ready to surprise those with a craving for adventure and discovery. This journey is designed for those who wish to live an authentic experience, walking off the beaten path among Mayan villages suspended in time, vibrant markets, and a lush wilderness that is home to Howler Monkeys, exotic birds, and millennial ruins. We will traverse the Highlands, where the sky seems to touch the peaks of the active Fuego and Acatenango volcanoes, tackling challenging treks rich with emotion to reach breathtaking views. Then, we will immerse ourselves in the mysterious jungle of Petén, the beating heart of the Mayan civilization, where the archaeological temples of El Zotz and Tikal emerge from the luxuriant vegetation, telling stories of a thousand-year-old past. A journey that combines wild nature, ancestral culture, and unique biodiversity for an intense and immersive experience to be lived step by step, letting yourself be carried away by the authentic charm of one of Central America’s most captivating countries.
