Culture Traveler unmasks Guatemala with a magical holiday itinerary in the “Land of Eternal Spring.” Amble along the beautiful cobblestone streets of La Antigua; barter for vivid textiles with natives at the historic Mayan marketplace of Chichicastenango; explore scenic Lake Atitlan, dramatically framed by three volcanoes, by boat, visiting charming shore villages along its sparkling blue waters.
This journey is punctuated by a visit to the dense rain forest region of Peten, centered around a guided discovery of the incredible ancient ruins of Tikal. You will also enjoy dining in and walking about the vibrant, colorful island town of Flores.
Luxurious five-star accommodation provides comfort, ease and exceptional service. In Antigua, the spacious, beautifully appointed rooms are each unique. In Flores, the eco-lodge suites feature rich polished wood, sweeping vistas and a nature sanctuary on property.
