Guatemala: Tropical Birds and Tikal
Feb 5th - 16th
February 5, 2019 – February 16, 2019The tiny country of Guatemala, with its ancient Mayan culture and history, volcanic vistas, and incredible birdlife, is a dream come true for the adventure traveler. Guatemala is home to more than 700 species of birds, many of which are found nowhere else in the world. Travel to cloud forest and tropical rain forest, from the Pacific Slope to the central highlands, in search of Guatemala's many regionally endemic species. The Tikal portion of the trip opens views into the Mayan past as you witness the sunrise from atop pyramids nestled within tropical splendor. Its unique history and geography, combined with a modern tourist infrastructure, good roads, comfortable lodges, and inviting food, have made Guatemala the new premier destination. Don't miss out on a trip to remember! Leader: Lucretia Bingham
