Days 3-4 Caye Caulker

Cross into Belize and take a speedboat to the Caribbean island of Caye Caulker, a paradise of turquoise waters and sandy beaches. Explore the vibrant marine world of the surrounding coral reef on an optional snorkel trip. Perhaps take a boat tour to experience the sublime sunset.

Day 5 San Ignacio

Uncover the legends of the Maya back on the mainland. Go on an optional canoe tour through the tropical rainforest and explore the mysterious caves.

Days 6-7 Tikal/ Flores

Featuring 3,000 towering pyramids, royal palaces and ceremonial platforms, Tikal is sure to fascinate. Drive to Flores on Lake Peten Itza.

Day 8 Rio Dulce

Freshen up at the world’s only warm waterfall, Agua Caliente, then maybe take a relaxed cruise over Lake Izabal, Guatemala's largest lake.

Day 9 Copan

Make a pilgrimage to the most important Maya ruin site in Honduras. Perhaps visit the Copan Sculpture Museum for a history lesson.

Days 10-11 Antigua

Walk through the neat cobblestone streets and charming courtyards of this scenic city, which has one of the most spectacular outlooks in the world - framed by three massive volcanoes, Antigua presents its visitors with a remarkable, surreal landscape.

Days 12-14 Lake Atitlan

Pass by an impressively deep volcanic lake and explore the colourful Chichacastenango markets.

Days 15-16 San Cristobal de las Casas

Head into the Chiapas highlands and visit villagers who combine Catholicism and indigenous religious beliefs to create a fascinating hybrid.

Admire the cascading water and lush vegetation of Agua Azul, then head to Misol-Ha and wallow in its warm pools. Journey to Palenque, an ancient Maya city.
