Guatemala
Guatemala is a land of tropical jungles, active volcanoes, mountain lakes, mountain cloud forests, volcanic beaches and coral reefs. Weaving is a popular business with a rainbow of colors found in the villagers' hand-woven clothes, each indigenous village has its own unique pattern and color. The ancient ruins of Tikal provide a look at Mayan culture with plazas, an acropolis, pyramids, temples and a museum.
Ancient Mayan Ruins: An absolute must are the magnificent Mayan ruins of Tikal in the north. The island town of Flores is a great base for a visit to Tikal. It's also possible to get a room near the Tikal site, but options are limited.
Shopping for Textiles and Souvenirs: For shopping, check out the outdoor market in the highland town of Chichicastenango. This is a functioning market where residents shop for their day-to-day needs, but it's also great for souvenirs, especially those distinctive Mayan textiles.
Climbing Volcanos: From Antigua, it's possible to take a day trip to climb the active Volcan Pacaya. If that's not enough volcano for you, you can also climb Volcan Agua, Volcan Acatenango, or Volcan Fuego, all visible from Antigua.
Lago de Atitlan: Formed by the collapse of a volcano, Lago de Atitlan is a vast lake of shifting colors and moods. Several unique towns cling to its shores. Panajachel is the most developed, having been a hippie-tourist destination since the 60's.
The Garifuna Town of Livingston: Reachable only by boat (though not an island!) Livingston is home to the African-descended Garifuna people, who speak Spanish, English, and Garifuna, and have created a uniquely blended culture. Seafood lovers must try the coconut-based tapado, a hearty Garifuna stew brimming with fish, shrimp, crab, and plantain
