Looking for thoughts on this itinerary for my SO and I for anyone who has been! Looking at going in January or February.
Days 1-3 Antigua: Adjust to altitude, explore the city. Potentially a day trip to Chichicastenango (we've considered doing this from Atitlan as well)
4-5: Acatenango volcano hike
6-9: Shuttle to and stay around Atitlan. Thinking about splitting 2 nights each in San Pedro and Santa Cruz. Want to hit some of the trails (Indian Nose, Lower Mayan, maybe San Pedro), might take a weaving workshop. Otherwise relax and explore the towns around the lake.
10: Travel all day travel to Lanquin
11-12 Semuc Champey: Probably going to do a tour the first day and self-guided the second.
13: Most of the day will be shuttling to Flores. Still haven't decided if we want to stay in Flores or Tikal.
14 Flores: Spend sunrise at Tikal, explore the ruins
15 Flores/Travel Home: Have half a day or so to spend in Flores/Tikal before we have to fly back to Guatemala City and then home from there.
We're a bit sketchy on the journey to Semuc Champey being worth it, buuuuuuut after trawling dozens of threads of people complaining about the journey being awful and somehow still being worth it, we're getting too much FOMO to not try it. Any opinions on that or too much/too little time in other places would be great! Unfortunately I am up against the edge on PTO for this trip so I don't think we could extend it more than this.
