Overview

  • We knew that choosing between mystical Lake Atitlan and majestic Antigua Guatemala is almost impossible when travelling with little time. That’s why we designed the ultimate experience that fuses both worlds in one day, without haste and with impeccable logistics.

    Unlike other operators, we don’t just transport you; we immerse you in living culture. You will start by boating through Atitlan to explore the colourful Mayan villages of San Juan and San Pedro La Laguna, and in the afternoon, you will walk among Antigua’s colonial history. In addition, we take the stress out of the trip: we include private transport with pick-up from your hotel, local expert guides and entrance tickets to exclusive gems such as the imposing Cathedral Ruins and the private terrace of La Merced Church. With Nova Xplorer, you don’t just visit Guatemala; you experience it to the fullest with the comfort and exclusivity you deserve.
