The UNESCO World Heritage colonial city of Antigua will be your base; your lodging Heaton's own exquisite villa located on the historic Calle del Arco. You will travel safely and comfortably via helicopter and private plane to explore the Guatemalan Highlands: Lake Atitlán, Pacaya - one of Guatemala's 34 volcanoes, as well as delving into the mythic ancient Maya city of Tikal and the tropical jungles of the Caribbean's Rio Dulce. Our private river lodge (a low impact jungle/river retreat featured in Architectural Digest) will be your orchid-draped hideaway while visiting ancient jungles, waterways and ruins. There are many ways to visit Guatemala, but after serious investigation, this is the only way I’ll go! A fantastic journey.
