Our team, managed by an European person, is composed by men and women who perfectly know Guatemala, its people and its habits. Mayan Zone works under the principle of the “fair trade” with the local people. Also we prefer to work with suppliers, projects and communities of the country. Our specialty: “tailor made” trips at a very fair price. |
Guatemala, “the country of the eternal spring”
is no doubt the most beautiful of Central America and may be of
the whole Latin America. Three times the size of Belgium, Guatemala
offers an extraordinary range of landscapes, weathers and people. You
will find out a warm and fascinating country, the descendants of the
Mayas. They still defend their ancestral traditions and their languages
(there are more than 20!!). |

Guatemala is the origin of the maya civilization, the biggest and illustrious one of the American continent. The Mayas were builders, astronomers, mathematicians and artists and left memorial testimonies of their life. Tikal, lost in the middle of the tropical forest, will fascinate you with its huge and beautiful temples and pyramids. The archaeological places in Petén, to the north of the country, give a touch of adventure to your trip to Guatemala. Some of these places can only be reached on foot or by lancha (small powered boat). |
Tikal |
Processions, Antigua |
Guatemala is also a country with many cultures where the Indian population is the biggest. They represent more than 70% of the population and they speak more than 20 different languages. Their clothes, hand made, have many iridescent colors and designs. People here are very warm but need to be understood and to be respected. You will love the markets of the towns with their colors, thousands of smells, flowers, fruits and their groceries that are local produced. |
Guatemala is also Antigua, colonial city with a tragic and glorious past. This romantic city will seduce you with its unique ambiance: its colonial landmarks, its flowered yards and its antiques stoned streets. There you may rest a few and drink an excellent coffee produced in one of the near farms. Antigua declared “World Heritage” always lives to the rhythm of three impressive volcanoes that surround it. Guatemala also has coasts on the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Water lilies, natural reserves, hot water fountains, herons, pelicans, dolphins, will travel with you during your tours by “lancha”, the local small powered boat. |
