Guatemala On The Web

Guatemala has many interesting places to visit. Guatemala City is a modern city where you can go shopping, both modern stores and handcrafts markets, play golf, visit museums, zoos and  mayan ruins, eat, drink, party. Antigua Guatemala, less than an hour (depending of the time of the day, and where you are) Guatemala City is a beautiful colonial town, with a great view to Agua Volcano. Panajachel, known also as Pana, and the sorrounding towns will let you learn about Guatemalan traditions, people, and culture. These towns are at the side of Lake Atitlán or just Ati, one of the nicest  lakes in the world. Chichicastenango, a town full of pre-Columbian culture and one the biggest traditional markets in the region is less than 3 hours away by car. Rain-forest and cloud-forest are not that far away either, like the ones found in Cobán. And not to forget Tikal, one of the most important Mayan sites and maybe the most famous place of Guatemala (featured in Star Wars movies as the rebel base of the Massassi Outpost on the fourth moon of Yavin) and El Mirador.
