A holiday to Guatemala like no other
Nature enthusiasts will find paradise in Lake Atitlán, in the Western Highlands of Guatemala, often referred to as the most beautiful lake in the world. Surrounded by towering volcanoes and indigenous villages, Lake Atitlán offers endless opportunities for adventure, from kayaking and hiking to exploring traditional Maya communities. Also in the highlands, the market town of Chichicastenango bursts to life every Thursday and Sunday with its colourful market. Immerse yourself in a kaleidoscope of sights, sounds, and smells as vendors sell everything from hand woven textiles to fresh produce and Maya handicrafts.
Nestled in the lush highlands of Guatemala, the Coban Region is a hidden gem waiting to be discovered on your Guatemala holiday. It is home to the Quetzal Reserve, where the elusive national bird, the resplendent quetzal, gracefully flits through the cloud forest canopy. Here, you can also explore the mystical depths of Candelaria Caves and Grutas del Rey Marcos, home to underground rivers and spectacular rock formations.
To enjoy Guatemala's natural wonders further, venture to Semuc Champey, a series of turquoise pools nestled amidst lush rainforest. Swim in crystal-clear waters, hike through pristine wilderness, and marvel at the breathtaking beauty of this hidden gem.
