Get to know Guatemala with Viator

The heartland of Central America, Guatemala offers a variety of traditions, cultures, and natural wonders. As the historical heart of the Maya civilization, Guatemala has a rich heritage, and today the country weaves the threads of the past into a vibrant modern culture. The country's landscape is just as dynamic with active volcanoes, misty mountains, turquoise lagoons, dense jungles, ancient temples, and colonial-era towns and cities.
