If you’re looking for a perfect itinerary for Guatemala, you’re in the right place. I’ve put together an itinerary for Guatemala in 2 weeks that is full of activities including exploring the ancient Mayan ruins, taking you to the edge of a lake with 8 volcanoes, climbing a volcano, and taking you to one of the most scenic towns in all of Guatemala. This is the perfect post for anyone planning at trip to Guatemala. If you’re wondering how many days in Guatemala is enough, I recommend spending at least 10 days in Guatemala to two weeks in Guatemala. However, you ca visit most of the iconic spots while spending only one week in Guatemala. While you can’t see all of Guatemala in two weeks, this guide will show you the highlights of the country while immersing in local traditions, customs, and food.
the views from volcan pacaya are incredible
Guatemala is one of my favorite places in Latin America. It is a country rich in culture, especially Mayan culture. Currently the country is home to 22 languages with 21 languages being different dialects of the Mayan language. This is also the land of the volcano with 37 active volcanoes across the country. This Guatemala itinerary will get you up close with this unique culture and environment.
Let’s dig into the perfect two week itinerary for Guatemala 2023.

Day 1-3: Tikal National Park
The view of the park from the top of one of the temples
Day 1
You’ve spent a lot of planning a trip to Guatemala and now it’s time to enjoy every second of this magnificent country.
Your first day in Guatemala is going to be a dedicated travel day. You will fly into Guatemala City and then take your short 60-90 minute flight from Guatemala City to Flores. PRO TIP: There is no food or beverage options past security for the TAG Airline flight to Flores — purchase your food PRIOR to going through security. They do allow you to bring water bottles through.
The pool at jungle lodge tikal is awesome
Once in Flores, you’ll meet your driver to take you to your hotel. We chose to stay at Hotel Jungle Lodge Tikal because it is right at the entrance to the park. We used the hotel’s airport shuttle service to pick us up and drive us the 1 hour to the hotel. You can see all of our info about the hotel HERE in my full guide to Tikal national Park.
Day 2
Wake up, have some breakfast, and then meet your guide for a day exploring Tikal National Park. After the tour, you can walk back to the hotel and spend the afternoon swimming in the pool. If you’d like to go back into the park for sunset or to star gaze, feel free! You’re right at the entrance if you stay at Jungle Lodge Tikal.
HIRING A GUIDE: It is possible to explore the park without a guide, but the park is really large. There is signage that simply explains what you’re looking at — but the guides will know in depth about the park. The guides are also extremely familiar with the temples, the wildlife, the history, and the fauna. They are able to bring the park to life in a way that would be missed if you tried to self-guide Tikal.

We used Jose Monzon with Tikal Tours/Expeditions. He can be reach on Whatsapp at +502 4881 8528. Jose is committed to conservation. He has two masters degrees and was a professor at a local university.

Day 3:
This is going to be another dedicated travel day. Today you will wake up and have breakfast at Tikal Jungle Lodge. From here, the hotel shuttle will bring you to the Flores Airport. After a quick flight to Guatemala City, you will meet your drive who will take you the 3.5-4 hours to Panajechal at Lake Atitlan. I suggest asking your driver to stop at a large grocery store in Guatemala City or a stop at La Torre in Panajechal. Having things for breakfast, snacks, and any drinks you like will make your stay much more enjoyable.

Days 3-9: Lake Atitlan
Day 3
As seen above, today is the day you arrive to Panajachel. Lake Atitlan is absolutely stunning, so I really hope you arrive while it is still daylight. The views from the hotel will take your breath away.
the view from the pier at our airbnb
We chose to us DayTrip to pick us up at the Guatemala City airport because the drivers come with age appropriate car seats and we’ve used them over 15 times across Europe and Costa Rica. The company is reliable and has great local drivers. This trip cost us $241 USD for 2 adults and 3 children in a large van. Our driver was extremely nice and actually stopped at a grocery story for us to load up on supplies before our 6 days at the lake.
In Lake Atitlan, we stayed in an amazing Airbnb in Panajachel. If I ever go back to Lake Atitlan, I will definitely be staying here again. It was absolutely amazing. Luckily, if the Airbnb isn’t available - it’s in the same building as the Hotel La Riviera De Atitlan, so you can book a room regardless. The building has it’s own pool, hot tubs, recreation room, on-site restaurant, and it’s own dock. We were able to take private water taxis directly from the hotel and we utilized the restaurant many times. The best part of the Airbnb was the view. We were on the 14th floor and had INCREDIBLE views of the Lake and the volcanos.
If the Airbnb is booked, you’re still in luck. The building is also home to Hotel La Riviera De Atitlan -so you can still get the epic views and amenities. You can also use this map below to find a hotel that meets your budget and family size.
The view from our airbnb in pana was absolutely incredible.

Day 4:
Today is a down day to get oriented with Panajachel. Use this day to walk the streets, find the waterfront shops and restaurants, and explore the history of the lake at Museo Lacustre Atitlan. We did a lot of shopping at the street markets, had a long lunch, treated ourselves to the famous Guatemalan Granizadas, and even took a short tour of the Museo Lacustre Atitlán.
What to expect at Museo Lacustre Atitlán: The museum is located at Hotel Posada de Don Rodrigo. Here you are going to find a detailed history of the people and geology of the towns around Lake Atitlan. You will also see a great display of what the bottom of Lake Atitlan looks like and how archeologist recovered many ancient artifacts from the floor of the lake. It costs 35 Q per person to tour and is definitely worth it.
Back to Top
you absolutely must try a Granizada
the street markets are so colorful and fun to shop!
Day 5
We hired a private water taxi to take us to san juan la laguna, but you can definitely take a public taxi for less.
Today you are heading across the lake to San Juan La Laguna. This gorgeous colorful town is known for it’s weaving. This morning you can hire a private taxi or walk into Panajachel and grab the first public water taxi to get across the lake. A public taxi is 25 Q per person per way and a private taxi charges about 300 Q plus 100 Q per hour after a certain time. We ended up paying 700 Q (about $90 USD) for the entire day and a round trip directly from the hotel to San Juan — we did not realize the boat just sits and waits for you, so we paid for all the hours he waited. The private boat is convenient because it does not make any extra stops and all you have to do is walk down to the pier at the hotel.
charletta taking the tinte maya weaving class
We chose to book a weaving class with Tinte Maya and I highly recommend them. We booked our tour via email and arrived at 10:00. I found this shop after extensive research on the best weaving class that also allows children to participate. My 8 year old daughter and I did this class together - we each weaved our own bufanda (scarf). Tinte Maya is run by a wonderful woman named Amalia. When we were there we were helped by Amalia’s 13 year old daughter and her wonderful mother. What I love most about Tinte Maya is that they employ all indigenous Mayan women and use only natural materials.
Tinte Maya offers a 3 hour dye course where you can dye the materials using natural dyes of your choice or you can choose to only weave. Since we had a baby and another child with us, we decided the 3 hour weaving class was all we could manage. However, Amalia did show us how they get the dyes they used in our scarfs.
If you want to participate in an authentic Mayan Weaving workshop, Tinte Maya is the best weaving class at Lake Atitlan. You can contact them here: tintemaya@gmail.com
Back to Top
I also took the weaving class!
San Juan Is absolutely amazing and colorful.
After your weaving class, take a tuctuc into town and spend some time shopping. There are many amazing places to grab lunch too. We had a really nice meal at a place called Atitlan Restaurant. We also stopped and had a Granizada after lunch while we walked around. Once we we were done, we headed down to the pier where our water taxi was waiting for us. They zipped us back to our hotel where we also had dinner.
The streets of san juan are very colorful and fun. I highly recommend walking along and shopping/eating!
Day 6
the waterfall at the atitlan nature reserve is gorgeous
When we visited Guatemala we were on a 9 week trip through Central America and South America. We knew we needed down days to make our trip more enjoyable. So, we woke up this day with no plans.
However, after a slow wake up and breakfast at the hotel’s restaurant, we walked over to the Reserva Natural Atitlan. Conveniently, this is located on the same street as the Airbnb we stayed in.
Reserva Natural Atitlan has a few hiking trails or “senderos” and they also offer a kid’s playground, café, and zip lining! I so wish we could have zip lined, but we stuck to the amazing hiking trails. The loop we took had several hanging bridges, a very nice waterfall, and an observation deck where we saw spider monkeys and coatis!
there are several awesome suspension bridges in the reserve.
we saw many monkeys and coatis at reserva natural atitlan
After a couple hours of hiking and spotting animals, we headed down the street a little more to have lunch at Hotel Atitlan. This is a very famous hotel in the area, but you do not need to stay here to eat here. We popped in for lunch and got to enjoy their amazing views. The restaurant also has a really cool bird enclosure that takes up an entire wall — the kids loved watching the birds play and eat during lunch.
After lunch we walked back to the hotel and had a slow evening. This would be an excellent day to swim in the pools, relax in the hot tubs, or even take one of the hotel’s paddle boats or kayaks out on the lake.

the views from hotel atitlan’s restaurant are incredible.
the views from indian nose are incredible.
Day 7
Today is the day you’ll be hiking Indian Nose. But before I get into the hike, I just want to say that many locals want the name of this hike to be changed to Rostro Maya. So, I will be using both names interchangeably. It is the same hike.
This is summit of indian nose - the actual nose - looking down on san juan
This hike is strenuous, but short. It is located on 2 different people’s land, so you do have to pay to hike. If you choose to go without a guide, you will have to find the entrances and pay the locals on your own. The local land owners often carry machetes — which is NOT to intimidate or hurt anyone — it is solely because they maintain the trails. This is extremely common and, again, is not a threat. Simply greet them, pay what you owe, and take your hike.
Since we have 3 children, we wanted an easier experience. We hired Matt from Geo Travel Guatemala to guide us one the Indian Nose hike. Matt has lived in Guatemala for 10 years and is an actual geologist. When you book with Matt, you can rest assured you’re going to walk away with a wealth of knowledge about Guatemala and it’s geology. Matt has the first tour company specializing in geological tours where you’ll learn about volcanoes, earthquakes, plate tectonics and natural hazards.
san pedro is another colorful town on the lake - we enjoyed walking around in the morning before our tour - if you look behind the kids and flags, you can actually see “the face” which is what we hiked!
The morning of our hike, we walked into Pana and caught the first public water taxi at 7 AM. We rode to San Pedro where we walked the streets a bit and had a quick breakfast before Matt picked us up. He drove us out to the hike and we spend the day with him hiking and learning. He has an entire geological presentation he gives at the summit. One thing that is really cool about Matt the Geologist is that he really knows and cares about the locals. The owners of the land all know him and a tour with him is honestly unlike any of the other guides because he has access to more of the face. (where you’ll hike)
After our tour, Matt dropped us of in San Juan. We caught a water taxi back to our hotel from there.
One of the most popular hiking trails at Lake Atitlan is Indian Nose — sunrise is the most popular time. We did ours at 10 AM and I loved it. It was not crowded at all and the views were spectacular.
matt is a professional - he shows up on time and has a full geology lesson for you at the summit!
This view is from the lip of the face. Matt is able to take you in one entrance and out of another on the trails because he has a good relationship with the owners of the land.

shopping on the streets of guatemala is such a treat. it is so colorful and they have so many amazing things!
Day 8
Charletta and i in front of the church of st francis
Today is another free day to explore whatever you would like around the lake. On this day, Charletta and I spend the day exploring more of Panajachel, shopping, and finding things we missed on the first day.
We had a slow start to the morning with breakfast at the hotel. Then we walked into town on a mission to find the Church of St Francis. After our walk, we stopped for a sushi lunch at Restaurant Hana. The service and food here is spectacular — highly recommend the Ramen.
We then walked to the church, shopping along the way. Right near the church is the famous Circus Bar - we stopped by hoping to stop in for dessert, but it was absolutely packed with people. I have heard the Circus Bar has the best pizza in Panajachel, but we weren’t able to see if that was true or not. It did smell divine though. We decided to walk back into more central Pana to grab an ice cream before walking back to the Airbnb.
If you would rather make this a day of exploring - this would be a fantastic day to take a Guatemalan Cooking Class, take a tour up to Central America’s largest outdoor market - Chichicastenago, or plan a full day of adventure activities on the lake!
Back to Top
we took our time in pana and found many amazing street art spots
the church of st francis is so beautiful inside and out
Even with so many other people exploring iximche when we were there - we got a few shots where it looks empty
Day 9
Today you are checking out of the Airbnb in Panajechel and leaving Lake Atitlan. We are headed to the city of Antigua which is a Unesco World Heritage Site. The drive from Lake Atitlan to Antigua is about 2.5 hours however you will be making a pit stop to explore Iximche. This Mayan ruin is a pre-Colombian Mesoamerican archeological site.
the iximche ruins are a must on any guatemalan itinerary
Start the day with an early breakfast at the hotel and then meet your driver. We, again, used Daytrip for this drive. It cost us $256 and our driver’s name was Bernard. He was fantastic and had an absolutely wonderful van. He stopped anytime we needed and was a lot of fun to talk to. (Later, we hired Bernard privately outside of Daytrip because we liked him so much. I am happy to pass on his information.)
Bernard was on time and it took us about 1.5 hours to get from Lake Atitlan to Iximche. We bought our tickets at the gate and headed in. It took us about 2 hours to walk the grounds, get some photos, and use the restrooms. Honestly, it was totally worth the stop. If you’re wondering how to visit Iximche, hiring a local driver is the best way. If you’re wondering is it worth it to visit Iximche, the answer is YES — especially if your trip does not include Tikal.
Iximche is much larger than I imagined — the park goes back very far
After we finished our tour of Iximche, we headed on to Antigua where we checked in our Airbnb around 2pm. We spent the afternoon letting the kids play and went out to a local grocery store to stock up for our 5 days in Antigua. We found La Bodegona to be the best grocery store in Antigua.
Our airbnb in antigua had great moutnain views. IT also had a pool, private washer/dryer — but it wasn’t the cleanest place we’ve ever stayed.
Full Discloser: This Airbnb was very dirty. It had great views, a pool, and its own private washer/dryer, and great security — but it was filthy. THIS Airbnb is slightly more expensive, but is in the same neighborhood — I would go with that one if we stayed again in Airbnb….but honestly, I would absolutely stay in a more central HOTEL next time.
Hotels in Antigua are not expensive and anything close to Parque Central is going to be the best option for easily exploring the city. You can use the map below to find the best hotel in Antigua for your family’s budget and size.
There are so many amazing churches to look at in antigua. the kids serenaded me with their new ocarinas while we walked around.
Day 10
Today is your first full day in Antigua! You’ll spend the day getting acquainted with the city by foot. We started the day with an early walk to the Arco de Santa Catalina. From your hotel or Airbnb, stop for coffee at one of the many Guatemalan coffee shops. Then head down to the Arch for some photos! The Arco de Santa Catalina was originally built in 194 to allow the nuns from the Santa Catalina Covent to cross the street without being seen by the public. It is now an integral and famous spot in Antigua.
We visted this coffee shop a few times — excellent coffee & atmosphere
After your photo shoot, pop in to one of the many patisserie shops or breakfast places. We liked to grab something to go and sit in Parque Central to people watch and enjoy the beauty of Antigua. There are many vendors in the park looking to sell items. We bought a few old Guate coins, the kids some clay ocarinas, and we made it a point to buy bird seed every day. We could get 2 bags for 5 Q which is 0.63 cents! The kids loved feeding the pigeons.'

for only 63 cents you can get two bags of bird feed to feed the park’s pigeons!
After breakfast, it’s off to explore the city on foot. Pick a place you’d like to see and set off! Along the way you will be amazed at all of the beautiful ruins, huge cathedrals, amazing shops, and vibrant colors. We chose to walk to the Mercado Central to shop the stalls. This is the best outdoor market in Antigua. It has many food, clothing, and trinket stalls. Take your time and weave through all the alleys.
If you don’t want to walk around the city on your own, consider hiring a guide to take you on a walking tour. We absolutely love taking guided walking tours on our first day in a new place!
Antigua is full of gorgeous churches and ancient ruines. You never know what you’ll see on a walk around town.
can’t miss a photo opportunity at Iglesia de la Merced
Day 11
Today is going to to be epic.
with patience, you can snag photos of the arch without a million other people in them! use the puddles to take cool reflection photos!
We decided to go back to Arco de Santa Catalina to try our hand at getting photos without a million people in them. We had some success! After our photos we popped into the restaurant located under the arch. It has a fantastic breakfast with some of the most delicious breakfast bread we had in Antigua.
After breakfast we made our way over to Casa Del Jade where Jimmy and Latham had reservations to carve their own jade pieces!
Latham working on his jade piece
We arrived to Casa Del Jade early, so we were given a really great tour of their mini jade museum. We learned about the history of jade in Guatemala and across the globe.
After the tour it was time to carve some jade! The guys were given a full set of safety equipment including safety glasses and an apron. They then were able to look through different colors of raw jade to pick their piece! Once they decided on a piece, they had to decide what they were going to carve. Latham decided to carve an outline of Tikal and Jimmy made a jade bracelet.
The guide helped them cut and grind each stone down. They then smoothed out their edges and shined the stones. It was amazing to see a raw piece of rock turn into a gorgeous keepsake.
charletta showing off her new jade bracelet and latham showing off his mini tikal model
After we carved some jade, we headed out to climb up to Cerro De La Cruz. We chose to walk out to the start of the trail and then climb all the way up. It is not a long hike up, but it is a well maintained trail with 250 stairs to climb! The views are worth it! What is at Cerro De La Cruz? It’s a overlook with a 1930’s cross & sweeping views of the city of Antigua, including an unobstructed view of Volcan Agua. At the top there are a few vendors selling things, many nice benches, and a clean restroom. At the entrance there is a guy selling ice cream, so we opted to get one on our way out. We also hired a tuc tuc to drive back to Parque Central where we popped into a local lunch spot before heading back to our airbnb for a rest.
The view from Cerro de la Cruz is great - it overlooks the entire city
the views from cerro de la cruz!
After a late lunch, the day is yours! We opted to walk around the city some more explore and finding a place to have dinner. The amazing thing about Antigua is it is very walkable and you’ll find so many hidden things as you walk!
Another option is to take a taxi or chicken bus out to spend the afternoon at Hobbitenango. You could have dinner here too. They have 2 on-site restaurants with incredible views of the valley and volcanoes. Hobbitenango is also home to some of the most instagramable spots in Guatemala.
If you’re up for an adventure, consider a sunset ATV tour!

the streets of antigua are endlessly colorful
From the top of pacaya, you can see out to ther volcanoes. It’s a gorgeous sight to behold.
Day 12
The tree of life on kalaloch beach
Today is an early start! You’ll be meeting your tour guide around 0600 to get on the road for the drive to the start of the Volcan Pacaya hike.
You can do this hike with a private guide or take a group trip. The group trip costs less, but you’ll be with others for the drive and the hike.
We chose to do it privately.
When you are booking, be sure to ask your guide if they will be providing marshmallows to roast at the top. Our booking said they did…and then when we got there he “forgot” them and it was disappointing. HOWEVER, we chose to get a pizza from the Pizza Pacaya. The entire experience was incredible. It did cost us 400 Q for a large pizza ($52 USD), but the experience was totally worth it. Plus these guys carry all of the supplies in on their backs every single day! You can see a short video about our experience HERE.
its expensive, but TOtally worth it to order pizza at the top of volcan pacaya
You’ll Pay an entrance fee at the start of the hike.
NOTE: Hiking Volcan Pacaya is not easy. I would say this is a difficult hike for the average person and a moderate hike for the avid hiker. The hike is not long as it only takes about 1.5 hours to climb, but there is a 1,500 foot elevation gain. Be prepared to go uphill (steep) the whole way. We hiked with a baby (in a carrier), a 6 year old and an 8 year old. Everyone made it easily, but we were definitely winded. You can hire a horse for a fee that you can ride up, but we chose to walk and encourage you to do it to. If you’re hiking Pacaya with kids, the horse may be an option if little legs get tired.
If you are an avid hiker and want more of a challenge, consider hiking Acatenango Volcano instead. This is an overnight hike and is strenuous. You must have a guide for this. This is another popular hike near Antigua, but is much more intense than Pacaya.
this isi the Church of the Society of Jesus built in 1561
We were back at our Airbnb around 2 or 3 pm. We chose to rest the rest of the day, but if you’ve still got some steam I recommend exploring some one of the many church ruins in Antigua. There are several to choose from including Church of Candelaria, Church of Santa Rosa, Church of Santo Domingo, Convent of the Capuchins (must see), and El Carmen Church. While we never went inside of any church ruins, we did take many photos outside.
Everywhere you walk in antigua you will find church ruins. Take the time to explore at least one!
Be sure to snag a photo with the guate flag right by the little shop when you reach the summit of volcan pacaya
Day 13
This is your final full day in Antigua. Today you will have an easy morning where you can find a local patisserie for some coffee and breakfast. Stop in Parque Central to people watch or get some last minute photos around the city.
the bean to bar class at chocomuseuo is a must do in antigua
At 11 AM you’re going to head to ChocoMuseo for the bean to bar chocolate making class. In this chocolate making class in Antigua, you’ll learn how to prepare chocolate desserts, chocolate drinks, learn the process of taking chocolate from a raw cacao bean to a delicious chocolate bar. The best part of the class is that you’ll get to make your very own chocolate bar with any toppings you’d like. We took this class with all 3 of our kids and everyone loved it.
The Bean to Bar class at ChocoMuseo is a must do in Antigua Guatemala!
The chocolate class is about 2 hours long. This leaves the rest of the afternoon for a rooftop lunch at one of the many fantastic restaurants throughout Antigua.
C with here custom chocolate bar
This afternoon you can either spend the rest of the day souvenir shopping, touring church ruins, walking the streets, or consider taking an authentic Guatemalan cooking class!
You can also schedule your ride from Antigua back to Guatemala city for your flight home tomorrow. We chose to privately hire Bernard to drive us. We loved his spacious clean van and his personality. The ride was is about 90 minutes and it’s fairly easy.
In Guatemala City we stayed at the Barcelo which is right next to the Guatemala City Airport. They do have an airport shuttle that starts at 4AM. We chose to stay here for the convenient location, but also the extremely fair price. We chose to stay in one of their Suite Duplex Premium Level rooms which was only $153 USD per night for a two story suite. They have several on site restaurant, concierge service, great room service, and a very nice pool. I think the Barcelo Guatemala City is the best airport hotel in Guatemala City.
the room was so spacious and it’s only a couple minutes from the airport
Day 14
If you’re flight is today, head to the airport and say goodbye to this amazing country. (You can see who we booked to drive us from Antigua to Guatemala City under Day 13) I hope your family cherishes this trip for the rest of time! We absolutely fell in love with Guatemala!
If you’re flight isn’t until tomorrow, consider taking a tour of Guatemala City!

The only thing I wish we could have seen Guatemala that we did not is Semuc Champey. However, it is not easy to get there and with 3 little kids - we wanted a fewer full days of travel and more days exploring at a slower pace. If you have a few extra days on your trip, you’ll need at least 3 days to visit Semuc Champey. The journey is very long: 8-10 hours from Antigua and can not be done as a day trip. Again, if you have the time, I would absolutely add Semuc Champey to your Guatemala itinerary!
