Guatemala Adventures!

Guatemala Adventures are numerous. Adventure companies here offer excursions such as white water rafting, mountain biking, birdwatching, horseback riding, volcano climbing, caving, and customized packages to include any combination of these. This country has many tropical warm water rivers that perfect for white water rafting. In fact, in some rivers, you can do white water rafting year round. This is possible in areas located in the Peten in close proximity to the archeological sites of Tikal, Aguateca, and Ceibal. Some rivers are only good during the rainy season from July to September. One of the characteristics of this country that make it so attractive is the rain forest and other nature areas where on can enjoy beauty rarely touched by humans. One adventure here is the horseback riding tour through untouched areas of this country. Mountain biking is probably the most exciting tour here in the country. What better way to see everything by bike. You are going to go across all sorts of trails, pass through different forests, pass along Mayan Ruins, lakes, and villages. And the best thing about biking is you save your vacation dollar by not having to put gasoline in a car. This also helps to preserve the rain forest because there are no exhaust emissions. Mountain bikers here have even been known to take tours into Mexico from this country. This country is a gold mine of geologic activity and it is no surprise that there are adventures in Guatemala that allow you to learn about some of the Maya rituals and see how they lived in some of these hidden places. Cave adventures are done by canoe or on foot.
