Guatemala

The Central American country of Guatemala is an undiscovered gem of a destination. Despite its many charms, Guatemala has so far escaped the impact of mass tourism but instead offers adventure for those who are seeking a holiday off the beaten track. With temple complexes showcasing the country’s rich Mayan history and a way of life which shows respect for the traditional indigenous culture, this corner of Latin America offers a fascinating glimpse into a different world. In addition, Guatemala is also blessed with spectacular scenery, with tall volcanoes and dense jungle to explore and enjoy.
