WHT A JOURNEY IN GUATEMALA ?


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!!).

Lac Atitlan

Volcan Pacaya
Nature, exuberant and abundant, will  astonish you  with its variety of mountains, volcanoes, beaches, tropical forests ( the biggest one of the planet after the Amazonas forest) and plantations of many types (coffee, banana, canes, macadam, etc) .
 
The cultural discoveries like Tikal, Copan (Honduras), Yaxhá,  Aguateca  and many others  are everywhere  you go.

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.
