With Rough Guides’ tailor-made Guatemala trips, you can go beyond a simple Antigua and Tikal route and see how much variety the country holds. Your trip might bring together jungle temples, volcano views, Chichicastenango’s markets, Lake Atitlán, Semuc Champey, Livingston, or a trek to the remote ruins of El Mirador.

The planning is handled with Guatemala-based local experts, so the itinerary fits your interests without you having to work out every connection yourself. Culture, hiking, food, ruins, villages, wildlife, or slower travel can all be built in, with the details arranged before you go.

Things to know before your Guatemala trip

What does a trip to Guatemala look like?

Start in Antigua, soaking up colonial charm and climbing Pacaya Volcano, then head to Lake Atitlán for lazy lakeside villages and traditional Mayan culture. From there, fly north to the vast jungle of Tikal, where spider monkeys swing over thousand-year-old temples.

Want to dive deeper? Wade through the turquoise pools of Semuc Champey, hike to the lost city of El Mirador, or visit Todos Santos Cuchumatán during the Day of the Dead horse races. Every Guatemala itinerary can be as relaxed or adventurous as you want.
