Does your family want to experience fun, outdoor adventure and authentic cultural encounters within the dramatic scenery, jungle wildlife, and coral reefs of Guatemala and Belize? If so, this itinerary is for you. Open your children’s eyes to a 2,000 year old culture as our local guide leads you through the Mayan market of Chichicastenango, a place where K'iche Mayan people gather to barter, buy and sell everything from fruits and vegetables to intricate handicrafts. Gaze in awe at the steaming and verdant volcanoes which surround colonial Antigua and deep blue Lake Atitlan. Share stories and laughs with a local Mayan family over lunch. As you travel through these two regions, your kids learn about the ancient Mayan civilization of Tikal while exploring this archaeological jungle gym and howl along with the calls of the howler monkeys in jungle canopy above; they'll snorkel vibrant reefs amongst hundreds of tropical fish; and the entire family will appreciate the opportunity for relaxation and rejuvenation on beautiful Belizean beaches. Your accommodations for this itinerary are all family-friendly and include comfortable ecolodges, hotels and private reserves with swimming pools, delicious home-style meals and plenty of resident wildlife.
