Mayan Gateway arranged an amazing 4 day trip to El Salvador including tours, transfers and hotels. I got to explore the Concepción de Ataco area along with its Ruta de Los Flores, the Suchitoto area and its lake, and San Salvador with its volcano. Along the way I learned about the history and culture of El Salvador. The logistics and timing were exactly right for me. The hotels in Concepción and Suchitoto were former haciendas and wonderful places to stay. The guides were superb, friendly, experienced and very knowledgeable. This was a terrific trip and I really appreciate Mayan gateway’s attention to all the details.
We spent over three weeks traveling through Belize, Guatemala and Honduras with Mayan Gateway. The guides were well versed in English and knowledgeable. The drivers were punctual and friendly. Border crossings were seamless. Some of our accommodations were fantastic and others good. To be fair we planned this holiday only a few weeks before the start date so hotels may have been limited. I would encourage more people to check out this part of the world. The people are sweet, the sights are ancient, the food is deliciously fresh and landscape is beautiful. It is a shame that consulate warnings are so unfair. I believe this is what keeps people from visiting. Guatemala was our absolute favorite. Lake Atitlan, Antigua, and Tikal were amazing but the highlight was Yaxha. We explored this Mayan site alone (me, my husband and the guide); it was magical. Belize was more enjoyable for us on the mainland; the islands were tourist traps. In Honduras we loved Copan and the Pico Bonito National Park. The Jeanette Kawas National Park was underwhelming. Snorkeling in Roatan and Belize was great.
This was a bucket list trip for me to visit all the major Mayan ruins and my sons came along for the ride. It was a grueling 23 day schedule, as we added trips to El Mirador and Cabo to the basic 21 day itinerary. In general, it went very smoothly and there were enough slower days to recuperate. Any issues that arose were swiftly dealt with by the guides or by Elias. The guides were excellent with deep knowledge of Mayan history and the ruins we were visiting. They also did most of the driving and negotiated the challenging road conditions with aplomb. The hand-off between guides at the international borders we crossed went very smoothly, even though the border crossings themselves are quite confusing. Our guide in Guatemala had a thorough knowledge of the present day Maya as well as Guatemalan history and culture which added a lot of depth to that part of the trip. Though the focus of the trip was the Mayan ruins I am also a keen birder. Several of the guides were also birders and were more than happy to accomodate me, so I probably saw a lot more species than I would have on my own. There were definitely places where I would have liked to spend more time, which means I just have to go back on a less intensive tour. I would be more than happy to travel with Mayan Gateway again. They are very efficient, very good at communication, and the accomodations overall were very good considering some of the locations we were in.
The trip organized by Mayan Gateway was fantastic. Many thanks to Elias who helped us build the trip tailored to our requests, to the support received 24 hours a day during the entire trip, to the guides and drivers who provided us, professional and kind like all the Guatemalan people. Everything was a perfect success. Thanks Elias and thanks to the entire Mayan Gateway team
