One of the biggest and most important sites of the Mayan world. The natural park covers a surface of 552 km2. Around these ancient city more than 3000 structures like temples, palaces, ball courts and even sauna are already
uncovered.
Antigua
:
Former capital of Central America, then of Guatemala, was founded in 1542 under the name of Santiago de los Caballeros. Many time destroyed by strong earthquake Antigua lost its satus of capital in 1773. After this, the town stayed almost abandoned, which helped it to, conserved its colonial style that you'll be able to appreciate walking throughout its paved streets. Antigua has a peculiar atmosphere and you will discover it if you stay for a few days. In 1979 Antigua was declared a cultural heritage site by UNESCO and start a new "life". It is the most visited town in all Central America, for the simple reason that it is full of charm. Surrounded by three volcanoes. The legend pretends that it is here that Antoine de Saint Exupery wrote the book "The little Prince".

Lake
Atitlan :
One of the jewels of Guatemala. Alexander von Humboldt describes it as "the
most beautiful lake of the world", the writer Aldous Huxley wrote, "and
any person was contaminated and was delirious with this landscape so precious".
Here the local modestly describes it as one of works of the supreme teacher.
That we can say, but that deserves a discharge of several days! Some long walks
or ascent of volcanoes of San Pedro, Atitlan, or Toliman can be organized.
Panajachel
:
it's the best organized village around the lake, it looks like a resort. Very good hotels and numerous handicraft shops
Volcano
:
The Pacaya, at 2522m. are still in activity: About 3 to 4 hours hiking, or a 1hr horse ride
makes this a great extra for everybody.
