Why settle for just one country when you can explore two? The Guatemala Belize Experience is an eight-day, seven-night journey that weaves together history, adventure, and Caribbean relaxation. Starting in Guatemala City and ending on the breezy sands of Caye Caulker Beach, this semi-guided trip gives you the best of both worlds: local guidance for must-see sights and the freedom to explore on your own.
Dive into Antigua’s storied past with visits to palaces, colonial churches, and ruins. Hike up the active Pacaya Volcano for sweeping views, then transition into the lush jungles and waterways of Rio Dulce. Get a taste of living culture in Livingston, learning about the Garifunas people, before heading north to witness the towering pyramids of Tikal hidden in the forest canopy.
The journey ends with a splash, as you trade temples for turquoise waters and unwind on the laid-back Caribbean island of Caye Caulker. The unique selling point? This tour package pairs the independence of solo travel with the insider access of guided excursions—making it ideal for those who crave both structure and spontaneity as they explore Central America.
