Guatemala

Guatemala is a beautiful but unknown country. Usually people ask, which part of Africa is it in? They actually have NO idea about where it is located. For all of you reading this, I'll save you from searching; we are right beneath México, which means we are part of America… No!!! Not the United States, we are actually another country in the same continent, Central America to be specific.
Well, what we are trying to do through our webpage, blog and other social networks, is to make Guatemala visible to everyone. To know that we exist, and that even though we are a third world country, we have some GREAT stuff no one should miss.
We have Antigua Guatemala located about 30 minutes away from the city or the airport. This is a city with 500-year-old constructions built by the Spanish colonies. If you visit Antigua you will find it relaxing with lots of things to do and places to visit, such as museums, spas, coffee farms, lounges (if you are a night person), and one of the biggest golf course in Latin America is close by. We have a lot of ecological places where you could enjoy camping, nature, rafting, hiking and other outdoor activities. In the northern part of Guatemala, you can visit the ancient Mayan city of Tikal, where you will be amazed by the pyramids, the jungle, the views and all the intellectual things they had, like a better calendar than the one we use today or the fact that there is going to be a change in the year 2012. Some people even say it is going to be the end of the world, I prefer to think of it as a great change for humanity, and I'm actually looking forward to it.
We have some lakes as well, lake Atitlán (one of the wonders of the world), lake Amatitlán, lake Izabal and a few others. People also travel from all over the world just to come fishing in the sea. There is a whole other list of places to stay and things to do depending on what you prefer, like enjoying our black sand beaches or hicking a couple of volcanoes watching the lava rolling down right beside you. As you can see, Guatemala is a beautiful country with great things to do.
I guess what we are trying to say is that you really need to visit Guatemala to have an experience you won't find anywhere else. We'll leave you with this small introduction and some pictures about the sights you could enjoy.
