Guatemala's Natural & Mayan Treasures

Photo Gallery

  Welcome to
Guatemala,
a land of many
treasures just
waiting for your
discovery
 
 

Toto Tours has
traveled to many
places on Earth, and
this is one of the
most beautiful

 
  Our exploration begins
in the country's capital,
Guatemala City
 
  You might consider
arriving a day early
in order to see more
of the city, and enjoy
our beautiful hotel
 
  Our first stop is
Chichicastenango . . .
 
  . . . where the
Sunday market is an
amazing spectacle
 
  Firewood being
sold on the steps
of the cathedral
 
  Later it seems
that the church itself
has caught fire, but it is
simply the smoke of
incense from a
religious ceremony
 
 

The hotel employees
will carry your bags
and, if asked, light a
fire in your room

(in your fireplace)

 
  On the shores of
Lake Atitlan, in the
village of Santiago,
women do the laundry
the old fashioned way
 
  A male volunteer
was quite the
source of merriment
 
  Two Santiago
women demonstrate
the art of tying up
their headdresses
 
  The finished look  
  Our Atitlan Hotel
seen from the lake
 
  There are
parrots on the
grounds
 
  And absolutely
stunning views
in every direction
 
  This was taken
from inside one
of the rooms
 
  Visit another
bustling market
in the village
of Solola
 
  The fresh fruit is gorgeous,
and way more flavorful
than anything you could
find at your local store
 
  Antigua is a
photographer's
delight . . .
 
  . . . with stunning
Colonial architecture
everywhere you look
 
  Detail of the
front of La
Merced Cathedral
 
  Courtyard of the
La Merced Convent
 
  The jade work
created here is
world famous
 
  You will certainly find
jade or some other
local handicraft that
begs to be added to
you souvenir collection
 
  After flying north,
board a small
boat . . .
 
  . . . to cruise
up the Pasion
River . . .
 
  . . . through the
countryside . . .
 
  . . . to the
entrance of
the Ceibal Ruins
 
  A short hike
into the jungle . . .
 
  . . . brings us to
intricately carved
ruins often called the
Mayan Art Gallery
 
  Spend two nights
at a delightful
lakeside hotel . . .
 
  . . . enjoying the
pool in the
heat of the
afternoon
 
  A highlight of the
tour will be our
visit to the ancient
Mayan City of Tikal
 
  The sight of these
massive Temples
rising out of the
jungle is one you will
remember forever
 
  And the Temples
aren't the only things
that grow large here
 
  Come with Toto Tours
to a verdant land
that holds within it
a Lost World
 
  With each new
discovery . . .
 
  . . . you'll recapture the
excitement of the
explorers of old . . .
 
  . . . and marvel at the
perfection created by a
now vanished civilization
