Guatemala

Guatemala is the heart of the Maya world. Not only because of Tikal, the most impressive city of this civilization, but because here Maya culture remains alive. 40% of the population is indigenous, speaks Mayan languages and maintains traditions dating back thousands of years. Antigua Guatemala is the colonial jewel of the country: cobblestone streets, ruined baroque churches, volcanoes in the background and vibrant cultural life. It is a World Heritage Site and one of the most photogenic cities in America. But Guatemala is also extreme nature: Lake Atitlán, surrounded by volcanoes and indigenous villages; active volcanoes that can be climbed; the Petén jungle where Tikal emerges like a lost city; the Semuc Champey caves with their turquoise pools. A small country with an extraordinary density of experiences.
