Mysterious, colorful and delightfully different than its neighbors, Guatemala is Central America’s most diverse country…from its people to its landscapes. Living Maya culture is everywhere with vibrant traditional dress and indigenous traditions.
If you have time be sure to visit the following places:
Lake Atitlan: Nineteenth-century traveler/chronicler John L Stephens, writing in Incidents of Travel in Central America, called Lago de Atitlán 'the most magnificent spectacle we ever saw,' and he had been around a bit. Today even seasoned travelers marvel at this incredible environment. Fishers in rustic crafts ply the lake's aquamarine surface. Fertile hills dot the landscape, and over everything looms the volcanoes, permeating the entire area with a mysterious beauty. It never looks the same twice. No wonder many outsiders have fallen in love with the place and made their homes here.
