Trips to Guatemala

A trip to Guatemala is to receive the affection and kindness of its people, to navigate through the vibrant colors of indigenous art, and to explore an entire culture: the Maya. Because that is Guatemala, the place where more archaeological sites of this civilization can be found. Like Tikal, swallowed by the jungles of Petén, or Quiriguá, the city where the largest stelae of the Mayan world have been found. But not everything has to do with this ancestral culture. The country's indigenous society, the overflowing nature of its jungles and volcanoes, and the contrast between Antigua Guatemala and the current capital are also something you must see in Guatemala.

"Did you know that according to the Mayan religion, the gods created man from corn and monkeys from clay?"

Another place you must not miss on your trip to Guatemala is the second most important city in the country, Quetzaltenango, built on volcanic terrain and home to the quetzal indigenous people, who sell local fruits and vegetables in their market. You also must not miss the market of Chichicastenango or the Castle of San Felipe de Lara, which was built to protect the country from pirates. You must visit Izabal, between the tropical jungle and the Caribbean, and the Guatemalan heart: a lake between volcanoes (Lake Atitlán). Because yes, Guatemala is the cradle of the Mayan culture, eternal spring, and roaring volcanoes. Are you ready to explore Tikal like a 21st-century Indiana Jones?
