The
treasures of present-day Guatemala, the cradle of Mayan civilization, go beyond
the ancient.
The
country’s roots trace both to Spain and the native people. This diverse history
combines with the natural beauty of the land to create a luxury travel
destination worth more than an afternoon spent digging for artifacts.
Eco-tourists
will find forests in the midst of preservation. Urbanites will enjoy consuming
the food and artwork in Guatemala City. Photographers will find a broad, green
canvas in between. Whether your interests run ecological, archaeological, or
historical, there’s a slice of Mayan history in Guatemala to satisfy your
curiosity.
The
Central American country consists of three main regions — the cool highlands
with the densest population, the tropical area along the Pacific and Caribbean
coasts, and the tropical jungle in the northern lowlands (known as the Petén).
One can travel from coast to coast in six hours, see the entire country in
seven days, and change climates in just two hours.

Whatever
your mode of transportation, start in Guatemala City, the largest city in
Central America. Guatemala’s capital has a wide variety of art galleries,
theaters, sports venues and museums.
Lake
Atitlan
This
deep blue lake should be counted among the wonders of the modern world.
Surrounded by many picturesque villages and three active volcanoes, it’s the
deepest lake in Central America and renowned as one of the most beautiful
freshwater lakes in the world.
Antigua,
the first city in Guatemala, is a very well-known destination full of historic
buildings, monuments, fountains and ruins.
