As the birthplace of the Mayan people, Guatemala is not short of ancient ruins to explore, most notably in Tikal National Park, which can be found deep in the jungle with hundreds of temples peeking out of the top of the tree canopy. But there is more to this country than ancient ruins: the city of Antigua Guatemala is well worth spending some time in, with its colourful, cobbled streets and surrounding volcanoes. Nearby is Lake Atitlan, which is surrounded by villages that provide the perfect opportunity to learn a little more about authentic Guatemalan culture. The combination of the history, culture and the country's natural beauty makes Guatemala an unforgettable place to visit.
Once upon a time we'd have said the country was best for the intrepid traveller, but Guatemala now has a number of excellent boutique hotels and posadas which make it a fantastic country to visit without sacrificing basic creature comforts. The hotels are mainly family run and are often converted haciendas maintaining their original charm and style.
One of the highlights of any Guatemala holiday is to immerse oneself in the charming colonial town of Antigua, with its labyrinth of cobbled streets, museums and stunning architecture followed by a visit to the crystalline waters of Lake Atitlan or head North East, slightly off the beaten track, into the depths of the jungle to discover Tikal one of the impressive Mayan archaeological sights and admire the spectacle of exotic wildlife and birds.
