Description

Relax and spend a glorious week in the colonial, ancient capital of Antigua, Guatemala.  Explore the ruins, volcanoes and cobblestone streets in a city virtually unchanged since the 18th century. You will stay in an elegant home in a gated community, with Colonial antiques and primitive art adorning the house.  Beautiful gardens surround the main house and guest cottage.  A private swimming pool and jacuzzi, along with a barbecue area, will add to your pleasure. You will want for nothing!


Enjoy the unspoiled beauty of Guatemala:


-  Scenic Lake Atitlan is a volcanic lake surrounded by small indigenous villages in the highlands two hours from Antigua.


-  Tikal, the magnificent Mayan city from the 8th century is located in the Peten rainforest.  The majestic temples have been unearthed and restored, and many can be climbed.  (Requires hour-long plane ride from Guatemala City.)


-  Spend a day or an hour at a full-service spa.  Also, less than 5 minutes from home are dining, shopping and touring.


-  For the more adventurous, a day of rigorous climbing the extinct volcano, Agua.


-  Experience the indigenous cultures as they lived a thousand years ago.
