Single Parent Travel – Guatemala 2017
Our Founder, Brenda Elwell is at it again. This time, she has created a wonderful trip for Single Parents to Guatemala. This specially priced and custom designed 8-day tour with Maxim Tours will include visits to Antigua, Lake Atitlan, San Juan, Lake Peten Itza and much more.
Immerse yourself in Mayan culture. Experience everyday life in traditional Mayan markets, towns and ceremonies with a backdrop of pristine lakes and mountains.
World renown for its colonial beauty, Antigua has its own personality…tourists learning Spanish, locals selling crafts, monumental and picturesque ruins of churches and monasteries remain from the last earthquake. There are good restaurants, art galleries, bars, a theater and library. It is multicultural, multilingual, and still a real place. Northern Guatemala stretches between Mexico and Belize for the most part covered by a jungle rich in wildlife – and the ruins of the great Classic Maya cities. Tikal is the most famous, but there are several sites worth visiting to learn different aspects of the Maya culture that was so advanced.
Surely one of the world’s most beautiful lakes, Lago Atitlán is framed by volcanoes and surrounded by 12 villages. Local inhabitants, Tzutuhil or Cakchiquel Maya, fish from dugout canoes, cut reeds to make mats, farm, tend coffee farms, make ceramics and weave.

It seems that your trips are expensive. I’m wondering why? I love to travel and would like to travel with other families; I see other trip/tour packages that include air and are half the price.
HI Ellen—we do try to offer a variety of price points. When we organize a group, we try to include special amenities that will make the experience more special than something right out of a brochure.
There are plenty of destinations that will include air and be less expensive, but we also need to balance that with an appropriate destination and property–not all are created equal in terms of single parent travel. In fact, you will find that most prices that are quoted will require 2 adults in a room and there is a “penalty” for a single adult.
With that said, if you have any specific destinations in mind, we are always open for suggestions–please send them to me john @ singleparenttravel.net

Why I agree with the folks above. I cannot take a short noticed trip being a single parent at 4k. How about planning a trip for next summer? That would be easier for me to plan/budget.
Thank you!
