Guatemala Tours & Trips
Walking Antigua's cobblestone streets with those massive volcanoes looming overhead? That's Guatemala in a nutshell. You'll tour coffee plantations where your morning brew comes from, haggle at Chichicastenango market, and actually walk on hardened lava at Pacaya. Lake Atitlan's so pretty it almost doesn't look real. Worth every step.

We very much enjoyed the trip. Thank you so much. I wish there would have been some written information along with the tours the last couple days. There was so much information and I am not fluent in Spanish so I missed quite a bit. Overall though it was a great trip!

“Great tour, the guide was fantastic. My only recommendation would be to spend less time in Quetzaltenango and more in Panajachel.”

Best time to visit Guatemala
- Summer 2026
Summer tours connect Guatemala's ancient Maya sites with its natural areas. The fullest routes begin in Guatemala City and head to Quirigua Archaeological Park, where you'll find the Maya world's tallest carved stelae reaching over 10 meters high. You'll take boats through the Rio Dulce canyon to reach Livingston's Garifuna community, with its unique mix of reggae music and coconut bread recipes. Many summer trips include early morning visits to Tikal - our customers say watching the sunrise from Temple IV is something they never forget. Some tours add the Quetzal Biotope reserve, where you can spot ancient trees growing up to 120 feet tall while learning about the 50 different species in Guatemala's cloud forest system.

- Fall / Autumn 2026
Fall offers ideal conditions for mixing volcanic landscapes with living Maya traditions. Several routes start with evening hikes up Pacaya volcano, taking you through humid forest to reach active volcanic cones. Lake Atitlan plays a big part - our travelers particularly enjoy kayaking along the shoreline and visiting the artist workshops in San Juan la Laguna. The cultural side continues at Iximche's ancient Maya ruins, where local spiritual guides share traditional customs and ceremonies. Some fall tours include optional zip-lining across Lake Atitlan, which our customers say gives you amazing views of the three volcanoes surrounding the water.

- Winter 2026 / 2027
Winter in Guatemala really shines from November through February, with several excellent routes worth considering. Starting in Antigua, you'll walk those old cobblestone streets before heading up Pacaya Volcano - our travelers love that you can actually cook pizza using the volcanic heat as the sun sets. There's also a great route through the highlands to San Andres Itzapa where you'll join a traditional shamanic ceremony at the Temple of San Simon and then ride those famous painted chicken buses to local markets. Over at Lake Atitlan, the winter tours include boat trips to Santiago Atitlan where local families welcome you into their homes to share their Maximon shrines and show you what daily life is like on the lake.

- Spring 2027
Spring opens up perfect weather for getting into Guatemala's culture. The 5-day routes combining Antigua's colonial areas with Lake Atitlan's indigenous villages are particularly popular with our customers. You'll join local women for corn workshops, visit chocolate cooperatives in San Juan La Laguna and learn how they create those intricate textile patterns using traditional dyes. Some tours stop at the Candelaria Caves - our travelers tell us exploring these underground rivers with local guides who know every twist and turn makes for quite an adventure. For those wanting more activity, spring tours often include hikes around Lake Atitlan's three volcanoes and visits to coffee plantations where you'll follow the whole process from growing and picking to roasting and brewing.
