Random Walks - Guatemala
Overview |
Itinerary Description |
Embark on a trip to Guatemala where you will discover ancient history, modern culture, and timeless wonders. Our first stop is Antigua, a city that we will use as our home base as we tour a Mayan ruin, visit stunning Lake Atitlán, explore Chichicastenango, and even hike up the breathtaking Pacaya Volcano. While in Antigua, we'll also walk the city's colorful historic center, attend a cooking class, and soak up the local vibes with some free time. Each day brings something totally new on this trip. |
