Experiences in Guatemala
If you’re looking for experiences, then Guatemala with its many natural wonders is the country for you. Guatemala has both the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea for you to visit. Experience the beauty of Lake Atitlan, its villages and their century old Mayan traditions. Did you know there are 37 volcanoes in Guatemala! For the adventurous among you Volcanoes such as Pacaya, Fuego and Agua among others can be hiked. I’m sure you’ve heard and probably tasted world renowned Guatemalan coffee. Then don’t miss out on a coffee experience! Or for that matter, a Guatemalan cooking class or even a chocolate workshop! How about a canopy tour? Or hiring an ATV off road vehicle?
I you’re visiting Guatemala for an extended stay, then maybe you should consider polishing your Spanish? Well Antigua for example is a world centre for Spanish learning. For many, the ultimate Guatemalan experience is volunteering with an NGO. This is a great way to immerse yourself in the real Guatemala. Memories made will last a lifetime!
There are so many experiences for you to enjoy in Antigua. Some exhilarating like taking a helicopter flight over Antigua or an adrenaline fuelled canopy ride. Perhaps something more relaxing such as a Guatemalan cooking class or even people watching in Parque Central!
Visiting the various villages around Lake Atitlan by boat is the finest experience you can have. In one day from Panajachel, you can visit Santa Cruz, San Marcos, San Juan, San Pedro and Santiago. It will be an unforgettable experience.
If you’re lucky enough to be visiting the Pacific Coast during the turtle hatching season then make contact with local turtle farms and participate in the turtle release, and watch them make their way accross the beach to the sea. Amazing!
