Spend a wonderful beach vacation day in Monterrico black sand beach that is waiting to engulf you in a day of relaxation. This Pacific coast beach provides beautiful views of the strong crashing waves and unique black sand.
During this beach vacation, you will have the chance to relax in the sun, while surrounded by nature.
Monterrico Beach is known for the sea turtles that can be found there. Around 5000 baby sea turtles are released here each year. If you are visiting at the right time, you may get to help with a release. There is a nearby turtle farm that takes care of the turtles and organizes this activity.
Expect sun, warmth, natural sounds and a day of relaxation. You will be picked up from your hotel in Antigua and taken to Monterrico Beach.
Walk along the black-sand beach to enjoy the sights and sounds around you. Gaze in awe at the crashing waves of the Pacific Ocean. Enjoy lying in a hammock to rest and rejuvenate.
The area is great for bird-watching, so lay back and enjoy the sights of the sky as they fly above. The sky is not the only place that you want to watch for beautiful creatures though. Make sure to look in the sand for sea turtles. Enjoy a wonderful relaxing day!

The trip was off the charts! I couldn’t believe how many Mayan temples and structures were there – all within walking distance of each other. It was like walking into a parallel universe – like you were going 2000 years back in time. Definitely one of the coolest things I’ve ever done.
We asked them to create a tour for 21 days, 3 countries, taking in Mayan ruins and cultural and beautiful places. They did a wonderful job. Everything was so efficient, cost effective and impeccably organized. They made an itinerary, arranged drivers, guides and accommodation.
The staff at Mayan Gateway helped us plan and coordinated the logistics for 10 weeks of travel throughout Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Costa Rica. The trip was wonderful, and the staff at Mayan Gateway were knowledgeable, helpful, and very responsive.
Tour of seven countries in Central America. Mayan Gateway helped us two couples to put together a fantastic 8 week trip starting in Mexico Centre and ending in Panama. Josue made our dream plan come together and we stayed in some fantastic places in the most fantastic locations.
I cannot recommend Mayan Gateway more! We booked a 16 day tour of Guatemala for my 80 year old mother and myself and they were extraordinary! Every hotel was perfect, our driver and guide was so very kind. The day tours were perfectly pitched with knowledgeable local guides.
We experienced so many adventures in our two weeks in Central America. It was especially nice to be able to make suggestions and changes along the way. The guides were very intuitive and took us places that made our trip really exciting and unique. All of our accommodations were excellent.
We’ve traveled to over 50 countries, in both small and larger groups. Mayan Gateway’s communication and attention to detail, both before and during our trip, is second to none. The guides were all well-prepared and, in our case, extremely knowledgeable about birds and history.
We have 53 days traveling through Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Belize and Yucatan. An incredible journey through countries with very lovely people and beautiful scenery. In particular, Guatemala has touched us. Introduced to the Mayan culture, fascinating volcanoes.
Amazing experience. Josue was an amazing travel agent for our trip across Central America in four different countries, Honduras, El Salvador, Guatemala, Belize. Josue’s knowledge of all the countries was incredible, taking on a trip of a lifetime across two weeks.
Working with Mayan Gateway was an amazing experience that far exceeded our expectations. Everything went very smoothly for airport transfers, hotels, and excursions. We will definitely be working with them again in the future!
I can say this was the best tour experience we have ever had. MG was flawless and incredibly customized to our liking. This included to beautiful charm of the local Maya people, the rich history of the region, the wonderful food and the adventure of some fun hikes up to a volcano!
My experience with Mayan getaway far exceeded my expectations. Aside from putting together a great Guatemalan itinerary at a reasonable price, they were available throughout the trip for any and all questions or adjustments we had. Couldn’t recommend them more.
