Guatemala is a fascinating country in which to travel: from high mountains, to colorful markets to ancient Mayan Temple sites deep in the rainforest. The Spanish colonial influence has left beautiful colonial cities such as La Antigua, a jewel of a town of cobblestone streets with wonderful places to stay, eat and shop. Visitors will find everything to make a perfect vacation: interesting archaeological sites, colonial cities, beaches, mysterious underground rivers, art, culture, varied cuisine, and very friendly people. The cities built during the era that began in the early days of the Conquest, were influenced by Spanish baroque. People still worship the Sun God, father of all harvests, who is remembered in some 28 rituals. This country spells adventure because in its jungles, plains, mountains, caves, rivers, and people whose traditions add mystery to the universe.
