15 days from £1,782Exotic Guatemala lies at the heart of the Mayan world; Caribbean Belize is a tiny nation of silky white-sand beaches and coral islands. Combine them in a highlights holiday where we’ll show you the vivacious market at Guatemala’s Chichicastenango, mystical Lake Atitlán, and tropical jungle sheltering the Mayan ruins of Tikal. In Belize visit the rivers and forests bordering the highland hinterland - opening up to eco- and adventure-tourism - and relax on a balmy beach.
We've chosen our favourite places, excursions and hotels, all of which have been enthusiastically enjoyed by our clients. Here, you have a choice of standard and superior options. Our benchmarks are high: a "standard" option doesn't mean low quality or dull, and 'superior' can sometimes be both really good value and quite luxurious.
You can view these options and, if you are happy with them, we welcome you to make a booking request online. But as with all our tailor-made holidays they are flexible: if you'd like to tweak the trip a bit, perhaps choose different hotels, or add in an extra place or visit or excursion, please contact us and one of our specialist consultants will help you come up with your perfect holiday.
