Overview
Explore the Guatemalan Highlands on this seven-day adventure starting and ending in Antigua. See the shamanic ceremonies devoted to San Simon, visit Chichicastenango market and ride in a brightly coloured chicken bus. Relax on the shores of Lake Atitlan, take in the views of volcanos and Spanish buildings and maybe learn about the rich Mayan culture through an optional cooking class. Take a scenic boat road to the shamans that guard the shrine of Maximon, hear about the daily life of the many locals you’ll meet along the way and discover why this culture holds the chain-smoking deity in such high regard.
