Itinerary
We'll meet at Guatemala airport and transfer you to the beautiful colonial city of Antigua. You'll have the rest of the day to explore this historical city, with cobblestone streets and citizens dressed in colourful Mayan clothing. Tonight, we'll stay overnight in the San Sebastian hotel, a charming hotel owned by a Mayan family, with antiques adorning the walls and bedrooms.
In the morning, we'll transfer to Huehuetenango and visit the Mayan ruins in Zaculeu. We'll stretch our legs and sightsee around Huehue. In the afternoon, we'll head out for our first ride, an easy spin around HueHue before the real challenges begin!
