Guatemala Luxury Holidays

Guatemala can feel like a rather ‘raw’ destination in comparison to other Central American destinations such as Mexico and Costa Rica, but that’s part of the country’s charm.

Then there are the add-ons that elevate (in more ways than one) your trip to the next level such as helicopter transfers from Antigua to Lake Atitlan. Not only does the flight shave precious hours of the journey, but en route the pilot will circle the Iximche ruins to give you unparalleled views of this less-visited Mayan marvel before you take a spin around the lake and its volcanoes. Transfers don’t get much more glorious, and nor does the guiding from Guatemala’s finest guides, all of whom we work with and who can explain in depth about the Mayan city of Tikal, or the nuances between the different clothing of the indigenous tribes haggling in the markets of Chichicastenango.
