This rugged 15-day trip is ideal for those who want to focus on nature and the outdoors!!
In less than a week, you can experience some of the most phenomenal natural wonders in Guatemala. The Carmelita – El Mirador circuit is located in the Northern part of the Maya Biosphere Reserve, home to more than 200 Mayan cities in a lush tropical rainforest, home to a great diversity of plants and animals. Along 55 km of trails, you will have the opportunity to appreciate the great cities of the Preclassic period, such as El Mirador, Nakbe and El Tintal and other smaller sites, within the Mayan Forest.
Then begin a four-day trek to the Ciudad Perdida (Lost City) located in the heart of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, a mountain range close to the Caribbean sea. Dubbed as ‘the new Machu Picchu‘, this challenging journey reaches the archaeological ruins of Teyuna – accessible by steep climbs and several river crossings. Continue the adventure with a day exploring Tayrona National Park, and your final nights in Cartegena revelling in the warm Caribbean air!
For travelers who have their sights set on South America, Colombia & Guatemala are offering classic & emerging destinations with up-and-coming metropolises and stunning nature opportunities, this a great trip for those who want to experience a mix of both for a fun, well-rounded adventure.
