 guatemala and belize in 3 weeks? 

i will be flying into guatemala city and out of belize, so want to max my time. plan is to do antigua, highlands, tikal, (1 week) then onto belize for diving on cayes (2 weeks). i that realistic?

Is it best to fly direct to belize, (from guatemala), and travel west to tikal and back...........or fly guatemala to flores and then hop east after tikal, to belize?

are there any good diving livaboards in belize, i.e. reasonably priced and good for the solo traveller? thanks in advances. R

Hi there

I think you have picked up the highlights, but you may be stretching the time, I think you may need one more day.

Antigua, but add at least half a day for Pasaya volcano, stunning, specially an evening one

Highlands, leave enough time for lake

Tikal, just beautiful, on the other hand, I thought flores, was not a must do

For me one of the highlights was chichicastelmango, got there the night before, saw the processions, and then shopped a bit

I am coping below the links to my blog from those days, see what you think
