Guatemala is a magical place. If you decide to take a trip there, its Mayan ruins, mountains, markets and thousands of new experiences will make your trip unforgettable . Try to make different trips around the area, since you will be able to discover so many different places that are so close in the same place.
You cannot forget to pay a visit to Antigua . This is the land of fantasy. It is a place where power lines run underground, building codes are enforced, garbage is collected, traffic is diverted from the center, and stray dogs mysteriously "disappear" in the middle of the night. Antigua is beautiful. It is situated between three volcanoes : Agua (3766m), Fuego (3763m) and Acatenango (3976m), and its urban landscapes offer themselves to be photographed repeatedly.
After Antigua, you should visit other places such as: Lake Izabal or Nebaj, which is a Mayan town hidden in a fold of a mountain. Sooner or later, you will end up in the area known as Tierras Altas , where you can see Lake Atitlán.
Guatemala’s Mayan heritage is everywhere. Remote places like El PetĂ©n are inescapable. Don’t miss the fascinating city of Chichicastenango and Santa LucĂa Cotzumalguapa. The latter will offer you a vision of the very mysterious Pipil culture. Traveling to Guatemala used to be much more dangerous than it is now, so take advantage and take a trip where you can do whatever you want in an incredibly beautiful place.
