Summary
Tired of hiking mountains? How about hiking up a volcano instead or exploring Tikal? Join me for a one week trip to experience the best of Guatemala. HIghlights of the trip are 2 day stay in Tikal National Park at Jungle Lodge (which is located within the park). Tikal has a large archeological site of a ruin of an ancient city in a rainforest in Guatemala and is a UNESCO World Heritage site. It also has interesting critters such as Howler Monkeys, Spider Monkeys, toucans, and jaguars! We will also visit Antigua- a small city surrounded by volcanoes with beautiful Spanish colonial buildings. Later, we will relax for 2 days at a private villa with smimming pool at Lake Atitlan- a beautiful lake which is located in a volcanic crater in Guatemala's southern highlands.
