Guatemala was a centre of Mayan power for centuries and many wonderful archaeological sites lie scattered across the Peten region while their heritage lives on today, evident in the many bustling markets, the traditional reed collecting on the shores of Lake Atitlan, the unique weaving methods and their traditional animist ceremonies. Throw into the mix the cobblestone streets, beautiful churches, hidden convents and colonial plazas of Antigua; perfectly coned volcanoes, Belize’s stunning coral reefs and incredible diversity of flora and fauna and you have a world of great colour and beauty combined with an intriguing serenity and mystery.

COLONIAL ANTIGUA
Antigua is arguably the most beautiful city in the entire Mayan region nestling beneath forest-clad volcanic peaks. The city is full of quirky colonial charm with cobbled streets and fabulous architecture and retains a wonderfully serene tranquility.

CLIENT TESTIMONIAL OF THE MONTH ...

We take great pride in tailoring each itinerary to your exacting requirements and love to hear the feedback from all our clients. For this month's newsletter we have chosen a glowing report from a group who travelled to India, and amoungst other things experienced a sublime Kashmiri retreat during their stay on the Sukoon Houseboat with the Himalayas as a backdrop ...

"We felt superbly looked after by all the staff on the boat and the chef just got it all right - portions, variety, spiciness and a wonderful touch to be introduced to each dish with such pride.

Mansoor was knowledgeable, polite and accommodating. He engineered all the trips, entertainment etc very well, anticipating our interests and needs. The drivers were all polite and friendly and patiently tried as much as they could to answer all our questions! The camp facilities were great and what a spot!

I felt wonderfully looked after the entire trip and importantly felt safe. There were smiling, welcoming faces wherever we went. Particularly outstanding was the lunch we had in the family home on our day trip out from Lake Dal.

My many thanks go to the whole team"

Lewis Family – Kashmir: May 2016
