Guatemala PROGRAM
Guatemala, a hidden gem in Central America, is a captivating blend of ancient history, vibrant traditions, and breathtaking landscapes. Known as the Land of Eternal Spring, Guatemala invites visitors to explore its enchanting beauty and immerse themselves in its rich cultural heritage. The country's past comes alive at every turn, from the magnificent Mayan ruins of Tikal and El Mirador to the colonial charm of Antigua Guatemala, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Nestled between the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea, Guatemala offers diverse natural wonders, including misty highland valleys, majestic volcanoes, and serene lakes.
The warmth and hospitality of the Guatemalan people, along with their vibrant indigenous traditions, colorful textiles, and flavorful cuisine, create an unforgettable experience for those who venture here. Guatemala captivates the senses and leaves a lasting impression.
