We had the opportunity to tour the Forest of Petén, home to the Mayan ruins of Tikal and of Yaxhá. We sailed by the Lake Atitlan, and we dived into the Semuc Champey and in The Siete Altares. All this without forgetting the visits to the markets of Chancol and of Chichicastenango. Finally, we have visited the archaeological site of Quiriguá to end on the shores of the Caribbean, in Livingston. Archaeology enthusiasts keen to explore can also reach the Mayan ruins of Copán.
