Colonial Antigua and the neighbouring Western Highlands are an adventurous traveler's paradise, offering Guatemala's most spectacular cultural and natural attractions. Take a private Western Highlands tour with a friendly local guide and you'll be transported into the magical world of volcanoes, cloud forests and alpine lakes that surround one of Latin America's loveliest cities.

Before you leave for the 'Altiplano' be sure to spend time exploring Antigua. Nestled between three volcanoes, the city offers thriving reminders of its Spanish colonial past at every turn; your guide will help you uncover the city's rich ambiance. Once you leave Antigua, the choices are endless - will you hike to the crater lake at Chicabal or explore the archaeological ruins at Iximché? For a once in a lifetime experience, hike to the top of Tajumulco, Guatemala's highest peak and witness a gorgeous sunset from the 4200m summit of the inactive volcano.
