From the tops of the great temples, enjoy breathtaking views over the jungle canopy—a truly unforgettable experience.
After the guided tour, enjoy an included lunch before returning to Santa Elena. In the afternoon, board the overnight bus back to Antigua, arriving the following morning with lasting memories of an extraordinary journey into Guatemala’s past.
