An Unfiltered Travel Guide & Photo Diary
Thinking about Guatemala but not sure about going it alone? We got you. This nine-day adventure is the perfect mix of solo freedom and group connection — where you can explore on your own but never feel on your own. Kick things off in charming Antigua with a tortilla-making class in a colourful colonial kitchen, then boat across the dreamy waters of Lake Atitlán to visit vibrant Indigenous villages. Hike through jungle paths to the ancient ruins of Tikal, and soak in the steamy waterfall hot springs of Finca Paraíso. With a focus on community, culture, and connection, this is Guatemala the way it’s meant to be experienced — together.
While some travelers prefer the complete independence of backpacking alone, this trip offers a structured yet flexible alternative. It’s for those who value both social connection and personal time. Unlike a rigid, fully-scheduled tour, you get a balance of group activities and 'Me Days' for your own adventures, providing a safety net without sacrificing your freedom to explore Guatemala on your own terms.
Day trips and alternative tours from other operators — good for adding to a longer trip or comparing styles.
