Tours & Activities in Guatemala

Guatemala is home to Lake Atitlán, one of the world's deepest inland lakes, surrounded by three volcanoes and indigenous Mayan villages.

The Mayan civilisation flourished in Guatemala for over 3,000 years; Tikal in the Petén rainforest contains some of the largest urban centres of the ancient Mayan world.

Guatemala is the world's largest cardamom producer, accounting for about 60% of global cardamom exports.

Antigua, Guatemala's former capital, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site with cobblestone streets and pastel-coloured colonial architecture built on a grid system designed in 1543.

The Quetzal, Guatemala's national bird and currency namesake, is so sacred to the Mayan people that it was never caged or killed, even by royalty.

Guatemala has 37 volcanoes, including Pacaya, one of the most active in Central America, which you can hike to see lava flows and volcanic heat.
