GUATEMALA
By far the best tour of Antigua.
Many worldwide travelers have called Elizabeth Bell one of the best tour guides in the world.
Meet your Antigua Tours guide at the fountain in the Main Plaza for a leisurely walk around this World Heritage Site.
The tour focuses on the city’s history, cultural trends and restoration efforts. We visit the City Hall Palace, Palace of the Captain’s General, the Cathedral with its majestic ruins, Antigua’s unique cultural lifestyle, Maya archeology through the spiritual stone of jade, and the best museums in town at Paseo de los Museos. The city comes to life.
Perhaps the most visually stunning and impressive of all Maya sites
Tikal’s five monolithic temples pierce the jungle canopy (Temple IV reaches a height of almost 230 feet) and ancient plazas, stelae and ball courts tell of a rich and powerful history when Tikal’s population reached almost 100,000.
Today the site is recognized as one of the archeological wonders of the Americas. Its unspoiled jungle setting within the Tikal National Park makes it a paradise for birders, nature lovers and amateur archaeologists.
Atitlan is a beautiful, 1,000 foot deep lake
The combination of Lake Atitlan´s natural beauty and Mayan culture provides stimulation, recreation and relaxation, depending on your mood. Nestled against three 10,000 foot volcanic peaks – Toliman, Atitlán and San Pedro.
Along the shores of Lake Atitlán are a dozen Indian villages where life and customs have changed little over the centuries.
