Cradle of the Mayan civilisation, Guatemala offers and extraordinarily beautiful landscape of volcanoes, lakes, mountains and jungles.

Amidst the dramatic landscape are remnants of the Mayan civilisation which blossomed four thousand years ago.

Modern day Guatemala delights with its colourful handicraft markets, colonial architecture and vibrant soul and is an absolute highlight of Central America.

Birders, nature and wildlife lovers will find much to love in Guatemala, as will those looking for adventure and activity.

Compact and hospitable, a tour of Guatemala is easily accomplished without long journeys and can easily be combined with a jungle or beach stay in neighbouring Belize.
