Why go
Fire on Acatenango
Climb to a camp high on Acatenango and watch its neighbour, Fuego, throw lava into the dark every few minutes. A hard climb and a cold night, for a show you never forget.
Lake Atitlán
Three volcanoes stand around a deep blue lake, and each village on its shore has its own market, colours and pace. You get around by boat.
Swimming in Semuc Champey
Turquoise pools step down over a river that vanishes under the rock. Swim, float, and let the jungle do the rest.
Maya temples and the Caribbean
Climb a temple at Yaxhá to see nothing but rainforest to the horizon, wander cobbled Antigua under its volcanoes, and follow the Río Dulce down to Livingston on the Caribbean.
