If you are considering taking a lay day (or possible not everyone in your party wants to fish like a demon from dawn to dusk, there are several worthwhile sightseeing trips to consider while on your fishing trip in Guatemala. Some are definitely easier than others!

The first stop – almost by definition, whether you choose to take advantage of it or not – is Guatemala City. Being the present day Capital City of Guatemala, it is naturally home to many of the nation's libraries and museums, including the National Archives, the National Library, and the Museum of Archeology and Ethnology, which has an extensive collection of Maya artifacts.

These centres, combined with some spectacular monuments, historic buildings and churches can easily fill a day of sightseeing. If you are considering this, we STRONGLY URGE you to enquire in advance about a professional tour either through us or the hotel. Roaming around the City with a guidebook is NOT recommended !

 There are also private museums, such as the Ixchel, which focuses on textiles, and the Popol Vuh, which focuses on Maya archaeology. Both museums are housed inside the Universidad Francisco Marroquín campus.
