Guatemala…land of pyramids in the jungle

✨ “Guatemala… Land of jungle pyramids, living ancient cities, and captivating nature.” ✨

If you’re looking for a profound and breathtaking travel experience, Guatemala is the answer you might not have thought of, but will never forget.

🌿 First stop: Tikal National Park. Nestled in the lush rainforest of Petén, hidden among the ruins of a mighty Mayan civilization, the towering stone pyramids amidst the cacophony of birds and howler monkeys is a magical and breathtaking sight. Climbing Temple IV to watch the sun rise over the treetops is an experience that takes you back thousands of years.

🏛️ Antigua Guatemala: A small town filled with colonial charm, cobblestone streets, old churches, and pastel-colored buildings surrounded by volcanoes. Antigua is more than just an old city, it’s the heart of Guatemalan culture. Here, you can sample local coffee, see handicrafts, and learn to dance salsa in a warm and vibrant atmosphere.

🌊 Lake Atitlán, nicknamed “The Lake of the Atitlan,” is a lake known as the “Lake of the Atitlan.” “The most beautiful in the world,” surrounded by three volcanoes and unique indigenous villages, such as San Juan, rich in indigenous art, or Panajachel, bustling with markets and lakeside cafes. A morning boat ride through the mist is truly a tranquil experience.

🌋 Pacaya Volcano: For adventurers, climbing Pacaya Volcano is a worthwhile challenge. The trail passes through ancient lava flows and fields of black rock before reaching a viewpoint where lava flows can be seen during certain times of the year. The heat from the ground can even be used to roast marshmallows—a fun and unique experience.

💧 Semuc Champey: A hidden gem in the valleys of Alta Verapaz, this natural gem features tiered, crystal-clear pools above the Cahabón River flowing beneath the rocky surface. Swimming in these natural pools and rafting through caves is pure and refreshing bliss.

🧭 Guatemala is more than just a destination, it's a journey that will change your perspective on the world—from its Mayan roots to its pristine nature and its genuinely warm and welcoming people.
