Mayan culture in Guatemala and Honduras
This trip combines the highlights of ancient mystical Mayan culture. In addition to the magical Tikal, you'll also visit the sophisticated Copán in Honduras, also known as the Paris of the ancient Mayan cities. During a sunset visit to the beautiful jungle-based Yaxhá, you'll see how nature and culture come together in spectacular fashion. You start this journey in the highlands; around Lake Atitlán and at the Chichicastenango market you can see that the authentic, colourful culture of the descendants of the Mayans is still very much alive. The relaxed, swinging atmosphere of Livingstone on the Guatemalan Caribbean is perfect for a breath.
