Realm of the Maya

Discover jungles, lakes and mysterious Mayan civilisations

Awesome Mayan Ruins

Marvel at the remains of the fascinating Mayan civilisation as you explore imposing Chichen Itza and delicate Palenque. A river journey through the jungle takes you to see the stunning frescoes of Bonampak before reaching the soaring jungle-clad pyramids of Tikal. Monkeys and colourful toucans abound in the surrounding rainforest. Crossing into Honduras, you reach the impressive Copan, famed for its intricately carved pillars.

Colonial towns & Exotic Culture

Merida - the white city - and Antigua with its vibrant colours, cobbled streets and imposing volcano backdrop offer you two beautiful and contrasting colonial towns. Explore the Guatemalan highlands around Lake Atitlan and hone your bargaining skills at the Chichicastenango market, alive with brightly-clothed Mayan Indians. Travelling by boat to Livingston, you can relax on the Caribbean coast and experience the unique Garifuna culture.

Semana Santa Festival

Our Easter departure accommodates the sensational celebrations and pageants of holy week in Antigua. The streets are carpeted with intricate patterns of flowers and coloured sawdust. Youll also experience the procession and re-enactment of the progress of Christ to the cross. An unmissable sight.
