Guatemala has 33 volcanoes, which 3 of them are active with a spectacular view. Many of them are famousness for trekking and many travellers love to discover the fauna and flora on the forest. Beautiful cities and towns, even if you think you know the city well, you might be surprised.
- View from Chicabal volcano
The only way to get a spectacular view of the lagoon is treking for two hours to the top. You can go down to enjoy the mysticism, the traditions and activities Mayan people celebrate all year.
The Chicabal volcano and lake are considered as one of the most sacred ecological sites in the Mayan Cosmo vision. They are used for carrying out rituals and ceremonies, especially praying for rain. This picturesque volcano mixes Mayan-Mam spirituality and stunning mountain scenery with the mysterious lake in the crater of the volcano and its mystical cloud forest. On arriving at the site you can see birds such as the Quetzal and many other species of great importance to the national fauna.
- View from Tikal
Tikal National Park encompasses 575 square kilometres of jungle and thousands of ruined structures.
The central part of the ancient city alone contains 3,000 buildings and covers about 16 square kilometers.
Tikal grew into an important ceremonial, cultural, and commercial centre over the centuries. Most of the city’s huge temples were constructed during the eighth century AD when Tikal became the greatest city in the Maya world with a population of perhaps 100,000. The Temple of the Grand Jaguar (Temple I) and the Temple of the Masks (Temple II) loom like a pair of colossal bookends on opposite sides of the Great Plaza, a vast expanse ringed by terraces, palaces and ball courts.
- View from Antigua Guatemala
A colonial city in a magnificent setting. Streetscapes of pastel facades unfold beneath three volcanoes. Many old ecclesiastical and civic structures are beautifully renovated, while others retain tumbledown charm, with fragments strewn about park-like grounds. After enjoying the architecture, you will have an amazing experience.
