From the jungle temples of Tikal to the fiery slopes of Acatenango, Trek Guatemala takes you deep into Central America's most culturally rich and physically rewarding landscape. Across eleven unforgettable days, you'll move between three very different worlds — the ancient Maya lowlands of Petén, the colonial charm and volcanic backdrop of Antigua, and the spiritual highlands surrounding Lake Atitlán. 

This is a journey built on contrast and challenge. Expect jungle hikes among howler monkeys and toucans, a demanding high-altitude ascent of Acatenango for a night beneath an erupting volcano, and a dawn climb to the Indian Nose viewpoint over Lake Atitlán. Each day is fully supported by professional English-speaking guides, with a good mix of trekking, cultural immersion, and time to rest between the more demanding days. 

Beyond the trails, there's a Mayan fire ceremony in Chichicastenango, a hands-on cooking class with a local family on the shores of Lake Atitlán, and the chance to witness centuries-old traditions at work in Central America's most vibrant indigenous market. With ancient ruins, active volcanoes, and living Mayan culture, this is a trekking adventure unlike anywhere else on earth.
