We give regular, extensive support to the environment and local communities we visit so they benefit from our stay, and we carefully select environmentally sensitive local destinations who ensure the same sites you visit will remain intact for years to come. Much of the cost of our trips goes back into the areas we travel through, helping to support both the local people and the environment. Flexibility Our itineraries are designed to let guests enjoy the very best Guatemala has to offer. as such, they cannot always be rigidly adhered to and will occasionally be amended according to local conditions such as climatic, political or due to local festivals. In general, we try to keep to the published route although on some occasions a sight may have to be missed or another put in as a replacement 3
