With enough Mayan ruins to impress even the most seasoned traveller, Guatemala has long been a top destination for history buffs, yet this Central American country has much more to offer. The country’s mountains, volcanoes and jungles are a magnet for trekkers, the stately, colonial cities with their colorful markets appeal to just about everyone and its beaches are ideal for a quiet seaside escape.
Most travellers visit Guatemala as an extension to their Mexico holiday, crossing the border for a few days to see the Mayan ruins at Tikal or making a quick stop en route to Costa Rica in the south. Savvy travellers have long known that Guatemala has more to offer but the country has been slow to make its way onto the tourist map. As the country has improved its infrastructure and tourism services, Guatemala is now stepping out of the shadows of its neighbours and emerging as a top destination for outdoor pursuits.
Volcanic peaks, tropical forests, sulfurous lakes, 21 ethnic groups- all this and more are waiting to be explored on a Guatemala holiday.
