Gate 1 Travel is Again Offering Its Near-Unbelievable $599 Package to Guatemala

Gate 1 ( www.gate1travel.com ) does it again: $599 for a fully escorted five-day tour of Guatemala (Antigua, Chichicastenango, and Lake Atitlan), including hotels, breakfast, transport, guides, sightseeing admissions, and airfare (and fuel surcharges) from New York. Airport taxes and security fees add roughly $100.

Poking into the details, I see that price available on at least 11 departures from late October though early December. (Technically the price is $649, but you get $50 off with the promo code DLCGUT50) Other departure dates are $50 to $100 higher.

This is one of those deals technically only available to newsletter subscribers, but as soon as you sign up (which is free), you can access the details.
