DESTINATIONS
CULTURE
NATURE
PEOPLE
Guatemala is a treasure cove of Mayan archeological sites with plazas, pyramids and temples. All are silent witnesses of a once glorious past when the Mayan ruled over this region.
The diversity in nature and landscapes is equally impressive; extensive mountains regions, dense jungle, active volcanoes and beautiful lakes.
Guatemala complements its extensive natural resources and authentic indigenous culture with a traditional and hospitable population.
THE HIGHLANDS Lake Atitlán
– situated 1560 meters above sea level, is believed to be one of the most beautiful lakes in the world. Apart from changing color constantly during the day, the lake also reflects in its waters the three majestic volcanoes (Tolimán, Atitlán and San Pedro) surrounding it.
Quetzaltenango
is Guatemala’s second largest city. In the city center we admire a beautiful plaza surrounded by numerous neoclassical buildings which remind us of the golden years in the beginning of the 20th century.
In the town of Chichicastenango, located in the department of Quiché, people are still very attached to their Mayan heritage.
La Antigua
Although Chichicastenango is small in size, it bustles with life and activity on market days when venders and buyers from all over the Highland meet in the town center. A main attraction is the colonial church of Santo Tomás built almost 450 years ago.
This Spanish colonial town with its cobblestone streets, small plazas, open-air cafes and quiet atmosphere will charm you instantly.
Guatemala is nestled quietly in the Valley of Panchoy and is surrounded by 3 impressive volcanoes providing it with an excellent subtropical climate year round.
TIKAL
YAXHÁ
Tikal is the largest Maya city discovered until present date. The Tikal site forms part of the 575 square kilometer National Park Tikal and is enclosed by vast and pristine rainforest. The jungle with a never-ending variety of trees, plants and wildlife is as impressive as the temples and sculptures.
This spectacular Maya site is hidden away in the jungle on the shores of Lake Yaxhá, towards the border with Belize.
RIO DULCE - LIVINGSTON
SEMUC CHAMPEY
Rio Dulce (Sweet River), with 40 km of dense tropical jungle on both sides, connects Guatemala’s largest lake, Lake Izabal, with the Caribbean Sea.
Semuc Champey is a natural monument in the department of Alta Verapaz, Guatemala, near the Q'eqchi' Maya town of Lanquín. It consists of a natural 300 m limestone bridge, under which passes the Cahabón River. Atop the bridge is a series of stepped, turquoise pools, a popular swimming attraction.
The river has played a very important role in the country’s history.
HOTELS Guatemala
offers a wide array of choices in hotel accommodation, that will compliment any kind of budget. Modern luxury hotels, secluded jungle lodges and colonial style boutique hotels can be found throughout the country.
