South & Central America

The Colours of Guatemala

The Colours of Guatemala is a ten day odyssey of the best that this enchanting country has to offer. You start in Antigua, a small, colonial gem surrounded by stunning volcanoes and get immersed in the beautiful architecture and laid back lifestyle of Guatemala's favourite city. You then drive up into the highlands where you see the world-famous market of Chichi which is always a cacophany of colour, dialects and costumes. Lake Atitlan and its large population of charming and colourful indigenous peoples is another real highlight in the area.

You then fly up north to Flores, capital of the Peten region, which is home to not only the jungles and forests of Guatemala, but also to some of the most spectacular Mayan ruins in Central America. To see the incredible stone towers of Yaxha and Tikal in the early morning as the sun rises and accompanied by the booming calls of the Howler monkeys is a unique experience.
