If visiting the amazing Mayan ruins of Tikal, spending time in lovely Antigua and shopping in the Chichicastenango indigenous market is not enough, Guatemala now has a new and interesting activity to do: Whale Watching! Yes, several species, specially hump-back whales come to our shores to feed their newborns, moving away from the cold North Pacific waters. The best season is from mid December to mid April, and getting to see these whales with the dramatic landscape of our volcanoes is something not to be missed.
Tourists in these trips can also help untangle green sea turtles often found in our coast, and maybe get to see some dolphins.
Humanitravels supports activities like this, that help preserve animal species, and to promote a better way of making a living for poeple rather than just hunting and fishing them for commerce.
If you would like to join a trip like this, please contact us and we will gladly set it up for you.
We also encourage you to check our options to do some volunteer work in the Pacific Coast!!
That is a wonderful initiative!
