Day 3: Lake Atitlán

Welcome to Day 3 of our adventure! We’ll kick off the morning by taking a scenic drive through Guatemala’s awe-inspiring highlands – a region blessed with plenty of volcanic soil, perfect for growing crops like tasty beans, spuds, and the fantastically-named “maiz.”

We’ll then meander to Iximché, an epic Mayan archaeological site that was the last hurrah for the Midwestern Highlands before the Spanish took over. Nowadays, it’s a must-visit spot for Mayans and shamans! Before settling down for a yummy lunch, take a playful stroll around the ball courts and six connecting plazas (you’ll see one pyramid and ceremonial altar for each!).

Later in the day, we’ll head up to Lake Atitlán, which stands proud at an impressive 5,125 ft. above sea level, and spend two glorious nights at the famed Hotel Atitlán. Don’t forget to join us for dinner!

Day 4: Lake Atitlán, Panajachel

Good morning, sunshine! Day 4 is going to be a blast. First up, experience the cruise on Lake Atitlán, which everyone agrees is “the most beautiful lake in the world.” Get ready to feast your eyes on three massive volcanoes and lush hills dotted with Mayan villages.

After lunch, we’ll hit Panajachel, a town famous for traditional ceramics, textiles, watercolor paintings, and wooden masks. There’s no need to rush, so take your time browsing around. In the afternoon, we’ve got nothing planned except chilling at the pool and soaking up the views. Yay! Dinner is on us.

If it isn’t enough to get your toes tapping, we’ll swing over to a museum where you can check out the amazing music traditions of Guatemala.

They have unique instruments, such as the Marimba, which will definitely bring the house down! If you thought that was all, think again: we have a private Caravan show with local musicians who will give you a taste of their skills! Then it’s off to Antigua in the highlands of southern Guatemala, where your hotel awaits near the historical district. Another dinner is on us!
