More Details
Your Honduras and Guatemala helicopter tour offers the ultimate journey through the region's Mayan marvels.
It all begins, however, in the magical town of Antigua, one of the best preserved and most beautiful colonial cities in the Americas. Immerse yourself in Guatemala's Spanish and Maya heritage within the luxurious boutique confines of Posada del Angel.
Also set out on a privately guided walking tour through the city, passing its breathtaking monuments and exploring an authentic coffee hacienda.
Then board your private helicopter for a stunning flightseeing transfer over the Guatemalan Highlands and the waters of Lake Atitlán. Upon landing, enjoy a private boat ride around Lake Atitlán’s villages. Stop along the way to learn about the multigenerational weaving techniques of San Juan la Laguna and to visit Santiago's pagan saint Maximon.
From Lake Atitlán, your Honduras and Guatemala helicopter tour transports you across the border to the famous Copán Valley of Honduras. Indeed, this region serves as the home to one of the largest and most elaborate centers of the Mayan world.
Explore this lush UNESCO World Heritage Site and retreat to your upscale room at Hacienda San Lucas for authentic Maya cuisine and the enveloping calm of the forest, illuminated by candlelight.
A private helicopter will then transfer you to Petén in northern Guatemala. Over two days, immerse yourself in the peaceful ruins of Yaxha and the fascinating archaeological excavations of Tikal. Indeed, Tikal served as the ceremonial center of the ancient Maya civilization and represents the largest excavated site in the Americas.
Enjoy a plethora of eco-adventure activities from your jungle-clad cabana of Las Lagunas Boutique Hotel.
You will eventually fly back to Guatemala City for a special guided tour of the city and the indigenous clothing collections of The Ixchel Museum.
After an overnight in Guatemala City, your Honduras and Guatemala helicopter tour concludes back in Honduras within Pico Bonito National Park for two days of tropical fun. Go rafting down rivers, hiking to waterfalls, visiting manatee refuges, and luxuriating in The Lodge at Pico Bonito's 400 acres of pristine wilderness.
