Welcome to Guatemala, Heart of the Mayan World:

Land where men, nature, and time have coincided and where they dwell together for ever. More than 3000 years ago a people endowed with extraordinary skills formed one of the most well known and most respected civilizations in history, the Maya. 

Guatemala is recognized as a cultural tourist destination surrounded by its exuberant nature where you can have unique and enriching experiences.   Its many cultures and their rich customs and traditions and its archaeological heritage are just of a few the salient features that will give you the opportunity to share, discover and learn.

Guatemala is a country where the Mayan people live their traditions fully.  They express their history and customs through their beautiful pottery, jade figures, and multicolor textiles, which are a true testimony of their ancient culture.

It is an unbelievably beautiful, complex, and diverse country that has preserved their most precious heritage, its people.
