“QUIRIGUA RUINS & GUATEMALAN ADVENTURE”
This tour offers the best overall experience in spectacular Quatemala. We start our scenic journey to the amazing archaeological site of the Quirigua ruins. This site contains the largest stelae ever discovered in the Mayan world. The Prophet Joseph Smith stated, “…Quirigua..the ruins of the city in question,…[is] one of those referred to in the Book of Mormon.” Jeffrey, our Guatemalan LDS guide, will point out incredible signs of interest to our group and how this site relates to the Book of Mormon. This peaceful and picturesque site offers amazing Kodak moments. We will explore these unforgettable ruins for a couple hours.
We will then drive to the Rio Dulce (Sweet River) and board riverboats for a scenic ride by Bird Island, a dense area lined with lush vegetation, awe-inspiring scenery, and inhabited by many species of tropical birds. We will sail by the Castillo de San Felipe, a Spanish fortress built back in the late 16th century to protect the area from Caribbean pirates. This is an enjoyable river trip so don’t forget your cameras!
We will then enjoy an authentic Guatemalan all-you-can-eat buffet lunch at a beautiful restaurant on the river which is included in the price of the tour. The gourmet cuisine includes soup, a chicken, beef, or fish choice, vegetables, salads, rice, dessert, and a local juice drink. The restaurant has a beautiful swimming pool that will tempt many of us for a quick refreshing dip, time permitting.
When we return to the port, tired but smiling, we will have some souvenir shopping time available prior to boarding our ship. The countryside of Guatemala is absolutely beautiful ---this tour gives you the opportunity to really experience it and remember it!

Hello, we met when arriving to Guatemala on a cruise ship over a year ago. Back then we introduced ourselves as a Guatemalan shore excursion company. From that date on, we have come to grow in list of shore excursion as well as for tour and travel. We also included some shore excursions in Belize and in few months will be releasing excursions in Roatan Island in Honduras. We will highly appreciate if someone can point us correctly to whom to contact and offer our services in this region. Best regards, Luis. luis@turixactivo.com; www.turixactivo.com
I have been here on my own but would love to hear Dr. Lund tell about the carvings in the stone and a little more history on the area. How about a Tikal tour???
