Départs Guatemala

Discover the next departure dates for the Guatemala tour with a small international group.

Day 1 — Guatemala City — Panajachel. The adventure starts now as we head to Lake Atitlán, often described as the most beautiful lake in the world. We visit the village and meet the Tz'utujil, a local Maya community renowned as some of the world's finest weavers.

Day 2 — Volcano day!. Briefing and backpack preparation for the Acatenango trek, followed by an introduction to the guides and porters. It takes four to five hours of hiking to reach base camp at 3,500 metres. We watch the volcanic eruptions before spending the night at base camp.

Day 3 — Sunrise!. We wake before dawn for the final climb to the volcano summit. The most beautiful sunrise of your life awaits at 3,976 metres. We then return to Antigua for a well earned rest. The afternoon is free to discover the secrets and hidden treasures of this incredible city.

Day 4 — Antigua. Lunch at the lively and traditional central market, where you can sample local cuisine. We then explore the city with our English speaking guide, discovering its colourful streets, colonial architecture and unique atmosphere.

Day 5 — Alta Verapaz. We leave before dawn for the 300 kilometre journey to Lanquín, a picturesque and remote village in the Alta Verapaz department. Surrounded by green hills and karst landscapes, it is the ideal starting point for exploring the region's natural wonders. The afternoon is free to enjoy the area at your own pace.

Day 6 — Where the river hides.... Semuc Champey is one of Central America's most beautiful natural parks. A series of waterfalls descends through the forest, carving numerous natural pools into the rock. Cave exploration, hiking and swimming await.

Day 7 — Flores. We wake very early for the 295 kilometre journey to Flores. This charming, almost island like town in the Petén region is a real favourite. Close to the country's greatest Maya sites, it has a peaceful atmosphere and is surrounded by the waters of Lake Petén Itzá.

Day 8 — Tikal. Tikal is the most spectacular site in the Maya world. We explore the heart of the jungle to discover not only the Maya pyramids, but also exceptionally rich tropical wildlife and vegetation.

Day 9 — Day off. A well earned day to relax... or perhaps not. Depending on what you feel like doing, we have plenty of recommendations and activity ideas to share.

Day 10 — End of the Very Bag Trip programme. It is already time to say goodbye, pick up a few last souvenirs and begin the journey home. See you again soon? You can extend your stay independently, and we can help you prepare and plan the rest of your itinerary.
