Guatemala is a Central American country known for ancient Mayan civilization, volcanic landscapes, colonial architecture, vibrant indigenous culture, and Lake Atitlán. The heart of the Maya world, Guatemala features well-preserved ruins and living Mayan traditions. Antigua Guatemala, a UNESCO World Heritage colonial city with colorful streets and volcano backdrop, attracts many visitors. Tourists are drawn to Tikal National Park (Mayan ruins), Lake Atitlán and surrounding villages, Antigua colonial architecture, Semuc Champey limestone pools, Pacaya active volcano hikes, Chichicastenango market, Rio Dulce Caribbean coast, Quetzaltenango (Xela) highlands, and rich indigenous culture. Guatemala offers archaeology, adventure, and authentic cultural experiences at affordable prices.
