This is a brilliant tour which combines the attractions of colonial Antigua with the important Mayan site at
Tikal and the rainforest of Cayo District in Belize with time on the coast in the Coral Cayes.
Start with a few days exploring picturesque Antigua before flying to Flores, the nearest airport to Tikal.
No trip to Guatemala is complete without a visit to these fascinating ruins.
We highly recommend a stay at The Lodge at Chaa Creek, 20 thatched cottages within a private reserve of 330
acres, high on the banks of the Macal River in the Cayo district, just south of San Ignacio. The Lodge at
Chaa Creek is set deep in the rainforest with its Natural History Centre a short walk away.
At Ambergris Caye we suggest you stay at Mata Chica, a secluded and exquisite beach resort, a tropical hideaway set on a long
stretch of white sand. Each of its villas have air-conditioning and are charmingly decorated. A perfect end to the
itinerary.
Highlights: Antigua, Tikal, Chaa Creek, Ambergris Caye.
