I believe that the world is a book, and those who don't travel read only a page. Through this blog, I take you on a special journey to see magnificent places around the globe. I hope you find it marvelous as I did.

Guatemala - Land of Eternal Spring



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.



Guatemala City


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



Antigua, the first city in Guatemala, is a very well-known destination full of historic buildings, monuments, fountains and ruins.
