If you are going to be late, please let your travel agent or hotel reception know. Ask reception or look for a note in the lobby for more information on where the meeting will take place.
  • Begin your day with a colourful tuk-tuk tour through Antigua, exploring the city’s historic landmarks and hidden corners. Visit the Cerro de la Cruz viewpoint for panoramic views over the city and surrounding volcanoes, then continue to the Santa Clara ruins, Union Tank and the lively Central Park for a refreshing local drink. Wander past the famous Calle del Arco, Iglesia La Merced and the NimPot Crafts Market, where local artisans showcase traditional handmade goods. Along the way, your guide will share stories about Antigua’s history, legends, religion and Indigenous culture, ending at the altar of the local folk saint, Maximón.

    Later, dive into Guatemala’s culinary traditions during a hands-on tortilla-making workshop.

    Today’s travel time is approximately 1 hour, followed by a 5–6 hour hike covering around 7 km. The trek begins at an elevation of 1300 m and gradually climbs towards Acatenango’s high-altitude base camp. While the trail is not technically difficult, the steady incline and altitude can make the hike challenging. Your guides will set a comfortable pace, schedule regular breaks and monitor everyone throughout the journey to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.

    For the overnight stay, you’ll only need a small backpack with your personal essentials. Sleeping bags and pillows are provided, but warm clothing is essential as temperatures can become very cold overnight. Your main luggage will remain securely stored at the hotel in Antigua and will be collected the following day.

    If you are unable to complete the hike, a 4WD descent can be arranged at your own expense. The price will depend on the point at which you decide to return.
  • Spend the morning discovering the UNESCO World Heritage-listed ruins of Copán with a knowledgeable local guide. Explore the ancient Maya citadel and ceremonial plazas while learning about the fascinating history of one of the Maya world’s most significant cultural centres. Admire the site’s beautifully carved stone pillars and intricate glyphs that reveal stories of past rulers and traditions.
    After the guided tour, enjoy free time to explore Copán at your own pace. You may choose to relax at the nearby natural hot springs with mud baths, thermal pools and an included dinner, or continue your cultural adventure with a visit to Macaw Mountain Bird Park or the impressive Temple of Rosalila archaeological site.

Along the way, pass national parks, rolling hills and charming rural towns, stopping for lunch and refreshments during the drive. The route briefly takes you back through Guatemala before continuing into El Salvador, so expect some waiting time at the border crossings.

    In the afternoon, travel along El Salvador’s beautiful Ruta de las Flores, famous for its colourful villages, flower-filled streets and rolling green hills.

Trip moments from our travelers
Before you book you should know
Is this trip right for you?
  1. Central America’s tropical climate can be warm and humid, especially during walking tours and outdoor activities. We recommend carrying plenty of water and staying hydrated throughout the trip.
  2. This itinerary travels through three different countries, which means several international border crossings are included. While the process is generally smooth, occasional delays may occur, so patience and flexibility are appreciated.
  3. Your local leaders will assist with communication throughout the journey, but learning a few basic Spanish phrases can greatly enhance your experience and interactions with locals. Even simple attempts to speak Spanish are always warmly appreciated.
Visa information
Visa information is provided by Sherpa, a trusted third-party. The “Add connection” feature only shows transit visa requirements and does not cover full entry visas. U.S. citizens traveling to Italy for stays under 90 days typically do not need a tourist visa. Additional service fees may apply if you choose to purchase a visa through Sherpa. Always check official sources before traveling.
Accommodation
Hotel (8 nights)
The accommodation listed in the itinerary is intended as a guide and may occasionally change. In some cases, alternative hotels may be used due to availability, but a similar standard of accommodation will always be provided.

Throughout the journey, we work closely with our accommodation providers to have rooms prepared upon arrival, especially when reaching destinations before standard check-in times. However, early check-in cannot always be guaranteed. If rooms are not yet available, luggage storage will be arranged so you can comfortably explore the destination or relax in shared day-use areas until check-in is possible.
