Destinations

Guatemala City, Guatemala
Antigua, Guatemala
Lake Atitlán, Guatemala
Semuc Champey, Guatemala
Flores, Guatemala

A charming island town on Lake Petén Itzá, Flores is the gateway to the magnificent Tikal ruins — allow a full day for the ancient Maya site and try to arrive for sunrise. The town itself has colorful streets and excellent budget guesthouses. Don't miss a sunset boat ride on the lake before heading to Belize.
Caye Caulker, Belize

The laid-back island motto is 'Go Slow' — a perfect place to decompress with Caribbean vibes, fresh seafood, and turquoise water. Snorkel the Belize Barrier Reef (UNESCO World Heritage Site) and visit the Hol Chan Marine Reserve and Shark Ray Alley for incredible marine life encounters. Eat grilled lobster and drink rum punch at one of the beachfront shacks at The Split.
Río Dulce, Guatemala
Guatemala City, Guatemala

Return to Guatemala City for your evening outbound flight on December 2 — fly back via Belize City or overland depending on your route. Arrive with plenty of buffer time for the evening departure. If you have a few hours, the Museo Ixchel del Traje Indígena near Zona 10 is a beautiful final farewell to Guatemalan culture.
