The Expedition lasts 9 days and 8 nights

Meeting point: Flores (Guatemala)

Recommended airport: Cidade da Guatemala (GUA), com voo doméstico até Flores (FRS)

Difficulty level: Moderate

This journey begins in the north, in Flores, and crosses the country all the way to Antigua. It is a route that makes sense on the map and in the story we experience together: it starts in the rainforest and among the pyramids, passes through the water, climbs into the highlands and ends in Antigua.

Twenty-two Maya peoples live in Guatemala today, each with their own language. You do not observe this world from a distance. You share it throughout the journey: preparing cacao with a local family, learning an ancestral recipe, swimming in Lake Atitlán, walking through Maya villages and hearing the stories of those who keep this culture alive.

This is a journey for those who want to leave the obvious routes behind, slow down and get close to a destination through its people, flavours, nature and the stories that make Guatemala what it is.

Guatemala is waiting for you, and so are we.

What our days will look like

Guatemala begins on an island

You arrive in Guatemala City and take a domestic flight to Flores. Our team will be waiting at the airport to take you to the accommodation; this transfer is included. You land, meet our driver and go straight to the hotel.

Flores is a small island in Lake Petén Itzá, with cobbled streets, colourful houses and a beautiful waterfront made for an unhurried walk. The afternoon is yours to arrive, breathe and ease into the journey. You can wander around the island, swim in the lake, have something cold to drink or simply rest.

In the evening, the group meets for dinner. This is when everyone gets to know one another, talks about the days ahead and starts to feel that the expedition has truly begun.

Transformation and wisdom

The experience with Ana Carms was magnificent. The team welcomes you and makes the trip far more special. The care they take with each one of us warms our hearts. The commitment, the respect, the wish to make everyone feel comfortable and part of the family are marks we carry from every experience with them. On this trip I was with the lovely Ana, the caring Flávio and the sweetness and lightness of Roque. I can only thank the whole team for another sensational journey. This team has something of its own and wins us over trip after trip. Congratulations again on delivering impeccable work.

Transformative

My experience on this trip to the Amazon was extremely positive. The agency put together a rich programme, with authentic experiences that let me get to know the local culture, the forest, the rivers and the biodiversity of the region in a very special way. The organisation was efficient from planning through to the activities themselves. The outings happened as agreed, the professionals showed real knowledge of the region and there was genuine concern to give travellers a complete experience. What I liked most was the chance to live transformative experiences, such as direct contact with the Amazon, the connection with people from different places and actions that encourage environmental preservation. It was a trip that exceeded my expectations and contributed a great deal to my personal growth. As a suggestion, I would reinforce the importance of always prioritising responsible and sustainable tourism practices, valuing the conservation of the fauna, the flora and the local communities. I also believe one of the days in Presidente Figueiredo could have been better used: we had a long drive to visit a single waterfall, while the region offers several outstanding natural attractions. Perhaps a more optimised route, including other waterfalls or nearby points of interest, would make the experience even richer. I recommend the agency to anyone looking for a genuine Amazon experience, with adventure, learning and connection with nature, and I take the chance to encourage women to travel solo: a trustworthy agency makes all the difference in that turning point.
