Guatemala

The heartland of Maya civilization, where jungle pyramids, colonial towns and volcanic lakes make up one of Central America's most captivating journeys.

Guatemala lies in northern Central America, bordered by Mexico to the north, the Caribbean to the east and the Pacific to the south, with volcanoes and highlands throughout. Tikal, in the Petén jungle, is a vast ancient Maya city that can be reached from the island town of Flores; Antigua, with its colonial architecture and volcano backdrop, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site; Lake Atitlán is ringed by volcanoes, with Indigenous villages along its shores, each with its own character; the Chichicastenango market and the natural pools of Semuc Champey are also very popular. The dry season, Nov–Apr, is the best time to travel. La Aurora International Airport in Guatemala City is the main gateway, and Flores has an airport for easy access to Tikal.
