The Value of Latin American Travel: Experience Guatemala With Aventouras

Evergreen, Colo.-- Aventouras, an award-winning adventure company that specializes in active trips to Latin American countries, is offering a 10-day journey that gives travelers the chance to Experience Guatemala with cultural immersion, outdoor adventure, and plenty of excitement. Last year, this trip which culminates in a multi-day jungle hike to reach the incredible Mayan ruins of Tikal was named one of National Geographic Traveler’s “Top 50 Trips of a Lifetime”, and the response continues to be overwhelming.

Guatemala is one of the most authentic countries in the Americas. The traditional life of its indigenous people remains easily accessible. It features fascinating ancient Maya archaeological sites and some of the world’s richest biodiversity including thick jungle, stunning volcanoes and azure lakes. Activities include climbing the active volcano Pacaya, hiking, biking, ziplines and kayaking on Lake Atitlan, and the climax---a multi-day hike through the Peten jungle to emerge in the heart of the magnificent ruins of Tikal. This highly personalized exploration is packed full of cultural and adventure activities, and starts with two nights in Antigua, then includes a visit Santiago on Lake Atitlan for two nights, and ends with three nights in the Tikal region, with a final night in Antigua. Accommodation is in distinctive, unforgettable, and comfortable local hotels and inns that give visitors a taste of local flavor and immerse them in the culture of Guatemala.
