Guatemala Luxury Vacations

Guatemala Travel Guide

Guatemala encompasses the great diversity and allure found across Central America. This small country bordering Mexico, Belize, Honduras and El Salvador offers both Caribbean and Pacific coastlines, colonial heritage, indigenous cultures, Mayan ruins, elegant plazas, traditional villages, sweeping urban sprawl, dripping jungles and soaring volcaoes. It's a small country filled with a rich cultural mixture of Spanish conquistadors and the indigenous Mayan civilizations. Though seemingly separate, these two influences merge to create a distinct and truly fascinating world that entices many discerning travelers.

Guatemala's astounding Mayan heritage is evident in the plethora of archaeological ruins and heritage sites that are sprinkled across the thick mountain jungles. There may be temples and statues found in the fascinating city of Tikal in the jungle, but there's also the elegant plazas and stylish fountains in the Spanish-style city of Antigua. The colonization is evident in the cobbled streets, however Guatemala never surrenders completely, as its towering volcanoes rise over the picturesque plazas. Local pride is the common thread winding through the elegant cities, surprising countryside and mountainous highlands. No matter where you choose to go in Guatemala, you will always be greeted with friendly smiles and open arms.
