We love Acheology and have done many sites in Mexico, Europe etc so we were told to go on the Quirigua Acheological Explorer. The site is ok but NOT worth the very long bus ride to the site and back ! It took almost 2 hours to get there and longer back. This site would have been ok if it had been a shorter trip from the ship. It left us very little time to do much else. The driver and guide on the bus were very nice and the guide met us after for a meal at a local resturant

We again took a private tour to Livingston on the Rio Dulce, which can only be visited by boat. In addition, we toured along the Rio Dulce and Children's School. We then had lunch at a hotel in Livingston. I don't know if this is the best tour available at this port, but we did enjoy it.

Industrial port with no down-town tourist section. There is a handycrafts building at the end of the pier where locals sell their crafts and tour guides sell their tours. There is a band playing there which was nice to sit and watch. You should book an excursion here since there is not much else to do. We went to Los Escabos waterfalls where you hike through rain forest and swim in natural pools at the base of waterfalls. This excursion was just OK.

This was our surprise favorite port. It was amazing to see the lush vegetation and mountains as we pulled into the port. We took the excursion to Quirigua Archaelogical site and our guide was so informative and passionate about Guatemalan history. We got to see some of the most well preserved monuments of the entire Mayan world. Amazing! The sendoff the people gave us at the end of the day was very special too.
