THURSDAY, MARCH 12 — SANTO TOMAS,
GUATEMALA: 7am – 5pm
Arrive in Santo Tomas in the early morning, with ecosystem and archaeologic adventure options to enrich your visit. Spend a relaxed day in the Rio Dulce region, learning about the cultures and abundant wildlife of the area. Howler monkeys, spider monkeys, toucans, and superb bird watching add to the nature fun. A (long) daytrip to the fabulous Maya ruins at Tikal National Park, or a shorter daytrip to the hauntingly beautiful Maya stelae at Quirigua Archaeological Park, are two UNESCO World Heritage site opportunities for your consideration.
