5-day/4-night adventure in Western Belize/Eastern Guatemala

Dec 20 - Dec 24, 2023
We just came back from a 5-day/4-night adventure trip to Guatemala (Flores, Tikal, Yaxha) and Belize (activities in and around San Ignacio) organized by Catherina. We traveled as a family of 5 (including 3 kids with ages 7 to 14). The whole process of planning and then the trip itself went very smoothly . Our driver/guide in Belize was Rene and in Guatemala - our guide was Henry. Everyone was truly professional, very knowledgable and friendly the entire time - clearly professionals who know and love what they are doing. That allowed us (especially the parents) to just relax and enjoy the adventure trip and not worry about anything. A pleasant surprise was how easy it was to find food for our two kids with food allergies (egg, dairy, nuts), even in really rural places. It helped that we lucked out with the weather - a (really) rainy season was coming to the end - most days were overcast/cooler (70s) but no rain, which allowed us to cover a lot of ground on foot. Highly recommend this travel service, trip and time of the year for visit.
Hotel Reviews
Fantastic location / lake views, charming outside decor, kind hotel staff and amazingly fresh/delicious food. Gave it 4 stars only because the rooms themselves seem a bit dated / one level down from the outside decor and everything mentioned earlier perspective. Overall, a great place to stay for a couple of nights.
Oasis in the middle of town! Once you enter, another world presents itself - tranquil, luxury and rich in wildlife. All that only 5 minutes walking distance from the center of the town / market. We (a family of five) stayed in room 132 which had a beautiful balcony with a river view. Hotel offers on-site activities that are fun for the whole family. We went on an iguana your during the day and night critter tour in the evening - both were a ton of fun and very informative.
