Day 2 – Exploring Antigua & Motorcycle Briefing Morning walking tour of Antigua’s cobblestone streets, churches, and markets. Afternoon motorcycle introduction and safety briefing to prepare for the journey ahead.

Day 3 – Antigua to Lake Atitlán (Panajachel) We ride west, circling the slopes of Volcán de Fuego, crossing over 10 rivers, and tackling rugged trails until we descend to Lake Atitlán, framed by volcanoes. Overnight in Panajachel.

Day 4 – Panajachel to Unicornio Azul (Huehuetenango) The route takes us into the highlands, to Unicornio Azul, an eco-ranch surrounded by mountain landscapes, perfect for starry skies and quiet nights.

Day 5 – Unicornio Azul to Hacienda Neva Escocia Adventure deepens as we ride into one of Guatemala’s hidden gems — Cenote Candelaria, a crystalline sinkhole surrounded by limestone cliffs and jungle. After a refreshing swim, rewarding the day’s off-road challenges, the group will head to Hacienda Nueva Escocia, an elegant colonial estate nestled among rolling green hills few kilometres away from Laguna Brava. This historic hacienda, with its cobblestone courtyards, sweeping verandas, and timeless charm, sets the perfect tone for the days ahead.

Day 6 – Hacienda Nueva Escocia to Laguna Brava Our fifth day will be dedicated to explore the mystical Laguna Brava, a turquoise mountain lake near the borderlands. Remote, pristine, and sacred to the local communities, this stop is one of the most untouched destinations in the country. In the afternoon will ride back to Hacienda Nueva Escocia to spend the night.

Day 8 – Lachúa to Semuc Champey We push through the heart of the mountains to Semuc Champey, Guatemala’s most famous natural wonder, with its emerald pools and limestone bridges.

Day 9 – Semuc Champey Adventure Day No riding — today is for immersion. Swim in the pools, explore caves, or go rafting down the Cahabón River. A day to rest, discover, and connect.

Day 10 – Semuc Champey to Río Dulce We descend into the lush Izabal region, reaching Río Dulce, where the jungle meets the Caribbean. Evening on the riverbanks.

Day 11 – Río Dulce to Morales (via Punta de Palma & Puerto Barrios) Morning stop at Punta de Palma Beach for a Caribbean swim. From there, we join the old Ferrocarril railway at Puerto Barrios and follow its historic route inland to Morales.
