Guatemala is a colorful land of contrasts. Traditional culture exists side-by-side with the modern world, from the largest city to the smallest towns. The Mayan people hold strong to their traditions, from cuisine to clothing to spiritual practise. Guatemala contains the ruins of many impressive pre-contact Mayan archaeological sites. The largest and most impressive of these is Tikal, in the Peten tropical region in the north of the country.

For nature lovers, the Guatemalan Higlands are the place to go. The highest point in the country, Volcan Tajumulco (4,211 m), is an easy but long scramble. There are rock climbing areas near the second largest city in the country, Quetzaltenango (Xela for short, pronounced "shay-la"). The volcanoes that ring Lago Atitlan are popular with trekkers, and while you're at Lake Atitlan, kayaking is another adventure you may partake in.

Sightseers will enjoy the grand Catholic cathedrals built throughout the country by the Spanish, the colorful, vibrant local markets (famous amongst them are the markets of Chichicastenango), the incredible views from the waterfront of Panajachel and Flores, the colonial charm of Antigua, and so much more.
