Colorful and friendly! The incredible beauty of
the landscape, the richness of history and heritage and the hospitality of the
people are turning Guatemala into a main attraction
of international tourism.
Guatemala City is the center of commercial and
cultural activities; a blend of the ancient,
the colonial and the modern. The former capital city is La Antigua, the site
of some of the finest examples of colonial art and architecture in the Americas.
Antigua is an excellent city for shoppers, with its fine buys in silver, jade
and contemporary jewelry.
One of Guatemala’s most popular visitor
destinations, Chichicastenango, offers one of the world’s great experiences.
“Chichi” allows a glimpse of centuries-old Maya customs within the setting
of a colorful, bustling marketplace!
Lake Atitlan is Guatemala’s most majestic
natural wonder. It has been described by many as the most beautiful lake in the
world. Framed by three massive volcanoes and towering mountains, its shores are
lined with colorful Indian villages and witness to a native life unchanged for
centuries.
The Maya ruins and the natural beauty of Tikal
National Park combine into what is the highlight of any trip to Guatemala. Tikal
constitutes one of the main archaeological sites in all of the Americas. The
rich tropical flora and fauna have to be seen to be believed. The birdlife alone
makes the trip worthwhile!
The choices of experiences in Guatemala are as
diverse as this colorful country and its friendly people.
Valid passports are required for travel to Guatemala.
