Guatemala

A Guatemala adventure vacation allows you to entre the Mayan heartland of Central America. Guatemala is often called the land of eternal spring. Its 37 volcanoes are the highest and most active in Central America. Huge volcanic lakes, winding tropical rivers, miles of pristine jungle and thousands of indigenous species of flora and fauna embody the captivating terrain. The streets are alive with the Mayan Indians dressed in blazing colors and bustling markets. The architecture is colonial with columned courtyards and elegant stucco facades. Historically it has more Mayan ruins than Mexico, the most famous of these being Tikal - the largest of the Mayan cities. All of these ingredients make for a fascinating cultural playground for a Guatemala adventure tour.
