The schedule of most activities is indicated in the Day by Day itinerary. Caravan does not post bulletins with this information in hotel lobbies, as Caravan feels that such bulletins are not in keeping with Caravan standards nor with your right to be treated as an individual guest at the hotels.

Caravan itineraries are carefully constructed to show you as much as possible at a pace that you will find comfortable. Your Caravan Tour Director has been instructed to follow these departure times and routings exactly. The Tour Director may deviate from them only in cases of extremely bad weather, extraordinary traffic conditions or other exceptional circumstances. Please do not ask the Tour Director to change either departure times or routings.

Occasionally, holidays, etc., may require a change in the sequence of your sightseeing in a given city. Your Tour Director will advise you in advance if any change is necessary.

Fishing and Golf
Fishing and Golf
You would have to arrange some independent extra days of travel, we do not visit areas where this can be undertaken easily. There is world class fishing off the Pacific coast of Guatemala and golf is available through private clubs only.

The visit to the Copan ruins takes around two hours.

Tikal
Tikal
We are at the site for around 6 1/2 hours, which includes lunch, free time and escorted walking. Those who do not wish to walk too much have an option to rest. We return to the hotel around 4:30 p.m., with time to walk the trail or use the pool before dinner. Those who wish to stay at Tikal may arrange for a private return transfer. The 1 1/2 hour drive will cost around $70.00.

The drive from Petenchel to Antigua

The drive time to the stelae at Quirigua is around 4 hours. We spend two hours here before resuming the drive. The five hour trip from Quirigua to Antigua is punctuated by ample rest stops. On arrival in Antigua, clients have time to stroll the streets of the historic city.
