Top 3 Tours To Do In Guatemala

I made a list of 3 tours that you can't miss if you visit Guatemala based in my personal experience. They are great for families, groups of friends looking for something different and adventurous honeymooners. Enjoy!

The Chichicastenango Tour:

In this tour you will be taken to Chichicastenango (Quiche, Guatemala) in a private shuttle. Once you are there, you will have the opportunity to see what daily life is for its native people. But most importantly you will have the chance to visit to its wonderful market which by the way is known as Central America's largest artisans market.

Another great place the church, which from the inside is very different from the ones you see in Antigua Guatemala. This 400 year old church was built over and old Mayan temple, as a matter of fact the steps in front of it are part of the original temple.

As soon as you step foot in it you will notice that the decoration is very unique.

Pacaya Volcano Tour:

Can you imagine a delicious dinner with wine, cheese and delicious gourmet foods on top of an active volcano? It is possible in Guatemala's Pacaya Volcano! This volcano is just a short drive away from Antigua Guatemala.

In this tour you can go up almost to the crater and stand a meter away from the constant lava flows. These constant flows are what keep this volcano from having a big eruption, making it a safe and exciting day trip.

The only way you can go up is with a guide. He will lead you along the safest and best paths. If you haven't booked with any company (which would be preferred) you might get lucky and find one once you get there.

El Mirador Tour:

Recently I heard that someone had discovered a new Mayan city in the northern area of Peten's cloud forest, Guatemala, with the largest Mayan pyramids and temple complexes ever seen. It is located several kilometers north from Tikal.

All I can say is that this awesome tour is normally a six days camp (but it could be less) where you will explore the jungle in search for ancient buildings hidden by it while being surrounded by the most exotic fauna. But there is also the possibility to go on a one day tour in which you will be transported by helicopter.

The tour includes meals and a great bilingual guide that will tell you all you need to know about this great place and its wildlife. But there is also the possibility to go on a one day tour in which you will be transported by helicopter.
