What You Will See

Guatemala is the Central American country with the richest history: don't miss the anecdotes from the locals, 60% of whom are of Maya descent. Immerse yourself in their culture: local celebrations, picturesque traditional costumes. At the heart of their lush land lies their greatest treasure.
Some must-see stops on our travels:
Ancient Getting lost among the cobblestone streets, framed by bougainvillea that colors the ruins, balconies with distinctive festoons, and parks where one can breathe a taste of the forest.
Lake Atitlan A picturesque basin surrounded by imposing mountains that bear witness to its volcanic origin.
Copan Ruins An archaeological park regarded as the political center of the Maya world; it has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1980. The city is located in a small valley surrounded by mountains.
Tikal “Place of Voices”, a UNESCO Heritage Site. Let's visit the ruins of the largest and most monumental Maya historical site in the world. Surrounded by the tropical forest and accompanied by the sounds of its avian inhabitants.
