Guatemala / Antigua / Antigua Glamping

A unique back-to-nature safari-style experience against a backdrop of imposing volcanoes and tropical forests   

Guatemala's unique "Glamp Camp" sits in a clearing that offers panoramic views of the valley below and three volcanoes, including the active Fuego Volcano, whose frequent eruptions guarantee quite the show. You can watch from the comfy chairs set up in prime viewing spots while your luggage is whisked away into spacious canvas tents with queen-sized beds, goose-down comforters, and fresh flowers.

Then, following a delicious dinner, sit around a warm campfire and chat with fellow "glampers" as millions of stars appear in the inky night sky. Trek Guatemala pulls out all the stops in organizing this unique glamping experience, and they’re fully committed to promoting sustainable practices.
