With its fascinating Maya civilization, highland mountains and volcanoes, indigenous markets, the cobblestone roads of colonial Antigua, and vibrant colours, Guatemala is a magical and captivating country. Its culture is a rich but disturbing blend of Spanish and native Mayan elements.
Key places to visit are Antigua, Tikal, Lake Atitlan, and Chichicastenango. Copan, across the Honduran border, is worth a visit. Or combine with Honduras, Belize or Mexico to savour 'La Ruta Maya', or finish off basking in the azure waters of the Caribbean.
