Guatemala is a feast for explorers looking for new experiences. This fantastic guidebook takes you from fiery volcanoes to historic churches dating back to the 1600s. You can sail on Lake Atitlan, raft on Rio Candelera, hike to Maya ruins, dive a barrier reef or take a bike tour around Antigua. This guide covers all the travel information you will need when visiting the country, plus the food, language, the history, flora and fauna, the economy and government. Then it zeros in on Guatemala City and the Central Highlands, La Antigua, Lake Atitlan, Sololá and beyond. In-depth details on the culture, traditions and how to travel with respect for the country and its welcoming people.
