Transfer from Antigua to Lanquin.

You will be picked up at your accommodation/meeting point for your shuttle transfer to Lanquin, where you’ll be dropped off at your next accommodation/meeting point.

Hike through the mysterious caves of Kamba, which are filled with extraordinary limestone formations.

Enjoy free time to swim in the crystalline waters of Semuc Champey, where you will find natural pools filled with fresh mountain spring water above a 300-meter long limestone bridge immersed in a pristine lush jungle setting.

Transfer from Lanquin to Flores.

You will be picked up at your accommodation/meeting point for your shuttle transfer to Flores, where you’ll be dropped off at your next accommodation/meeting point.

Depart Flores at 4:30 am this morning for your early morning experience to Tikal archaeological site.

Walk among giant pyramids towering over 200 feet at dawn to feel the magical vibration of Tikal and its historic splendour. Listen to the jungle sounds of exotic birds, monkeys and small mammals and feel the humid jungle air on your skin as the Maya inhabitants of this site felt it 2000 years ago.

Immerse yourself in the jungle at dawn for an early morning tour through the archaeological site to experience the jungle come alive as it wakes up at sunrise, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get in touch with nature and marvel at the majestic pyramids hidden away in the jungle.

This magical ancient city is teeming with native flora and fauna. If you are lucky you may be able to spot a jaguar walking leisurely through the park, although large numbers of visitors have caused the wildlife to move further into the jungle away from the noise. Howler monkeys here are famous for their loud growling sounds which may surprise you from a tree top overhead. Keep an eye out for colourful birds throughout the park such as toucan, parrots, eagles and quetzals.

Tucked away in the vast Peten Region that covers 222 square miles of lush jungle in the northwest corner of Guatemala lie the ruins of the most magnificent archaeological site and important Maya citadel in Mesoamerica.

Tikal National Park, declared as a UN World Heritage Site in 1979, is the largest excavated archaeological site on the American continents and is one of the most important natural reserves of Central America.

It is known that Tikal, meaning “Place of Voices” in Maya, was one of the most powerful cities of their era covering more than 16 square kilometres and dominating other tribes in the surrounding region as well as interacting with neighbouring cultures as far as Teotihuacan in the Valle de Mexico. The site was estimated to house between 10,000 – 90,000 inhabitants before being abruptly abandoned over 1000 years ago.

Get up close and personal with an active volcano and brag to your friends about it.

Hike up the Pacaya Volcano slope for two hours and then trek onto dry lava that resembles a moon-like landscape. Look up to catch an eruption from the active volcano if you’re lucky (depending on the activity of the volcano you may or may not see eruptions or lava).

Take unforgettable photos in a landscape so surreal that you feel like you are walking on the moon.

Admire the breath-taking landscape and views of neighbouring volcanoes peeking through the clouds around you.

Take your time returning to the base of the mountain as you make your way down the slippery, muddy slopes. (Note: Horses can be rented for the trip up and back.)

We recommend wearing comfortable trekking shoes and bringing a flash light and a walking stick (or rent one for a few dollars from local kids before you start your hike). It gets dark and steep on the mountain if you are going up in the afternoon.

If you are travelling during rainy season bring a raincoat or poncho… you will definitely need it!

Bring bottled water for the trek and some extra cash to buy snacks afterwards or pack a few power bars in your day pack to take with you.

Your once-in-a-lifetime adventure comes to an end.

We hope to see you soon for your next adventure!
