Day by Day

In the shadow of volcanic giants

Antigua

Day 1: Arrival in Antigua
Arrive in Guatemala City and transfer privately to Antigua. Cobblestone streets, pastel façades, and distant volcanoes frame your arrival as you settle into your boutique hotel tucked behind quiet courtyards.

Day 2: Walking the old capital
Explore Antigua on a guided walking tour, tracing its layered history through ruined convents, grand plazas, and everyday street life. The afternoon is free to linger in cafés, browse artisan shops, or relax back at the hotel.

Day 3: Acatenango, up close
Set out early for a shared day hike on Acatenango Volcano. Climb through changing landscapes for sweeping views across the volcanic chain, with Volcán Fuego often rumbling nearby. Return to Antigua by late afternoon, tired and exhilarated, with the evening at leisure.

Day 4: Semuc Champey by air
Lift off by helicopter for a full-day journey to Semuc Champey. From the air, jungle folds into limestone ridges before revealing turquoise pools cascading over rock. Explore the terraces on foot and visit the Lanquín Caves before flying back to Antigua in the afternoon.

Lake Atitlán

Day 5: Into the highlands
Travel toward Lake Atitlán, winding through mountain roads into the highlands. Arrive at your lakeside retreat overlooking water and volcanoes, with the afternoon free to settle in and take in the view.

Day 6: Indian Nose & the lake below
Hike Indian Nose on a guided daytime walk, gaining a panoramic view over the lake and surrounding peaks without the early start. The afternoon is yours for kayaking, swimming, or quiet time along the shore.

Day 7: Ceremony & stillness
Join a private Mayan fire ceremony led by a local spiritual guide, offering reflection and grounding rooted in centuries-old tradition. The rest of the day unfolds slowly, with time to enjoy the lake at your own pace.

Day 8: Farewell to the highlands
Transfer privately back to Guatemala City for your onward flight, carrying with you the contrasts of altitude, effort, and stillness that shaped the journey.
