Guatemala

Guatemala has unspoiled landscapes dotted with volcanoes - plus impressive complexes of Maya ruins, stately Spanish colonial art and architecture, and a vibrant indigenous culture. Here the indigenous peoples still wear colorful hand-woven dresses at their open-air markets that are a shopper’s paradise! Visit the graceful and romantic colonial town of Antigua, the native market of Chichicastenango and other authentic and colorful Indian communities around Lake Atitlán, considered one of the most beautiful lakes in the world. See a breathtaking vision of the Maya universe at the spectacular ruins of Tikal, perhaps the finest gift to us from the Maya heritage. Embark on a colorful journey that spans the times—from the Maya civilization to the Spanish colonial era and on to modern times.
