Guatemala City is the capital of this Central American state. The original settlement in this area was founded by the Maya more than 2000 years ago. The remains of that settlement are still in the center of the city. Today Guatemala has more than three million inhabitants. It is the largest city in Guatemala and all of Central America.
Those looking for lesser-known places go to visit Lake La Izabal or Nebaj, a Mayan village hidden under the auspices of the Cuchumatanes Mountains. Guatemala has a Mayan heritage everywhere. The ancient ruins of Tikal offer a view of Mayan culture with squares, pyramids, temples and a museum.
Lake Atitlan is a secluded and hidden world where another time and other rules apply. The distance from civilization makes this place different. Seven volcanoes surround the lake, which is inhabited by primitive Mayan tribes, who live according to their own laws.
There is no bad weather to visit Guatemala, although the rainy season or Invierno (winter) makes it difficult to navigate unpaved roads from mid-May to mid-October, and in November and December to the north and east. The dry season or Verano (summer) is from November to April, which means steamy and warm along the coast and pleasantly warm days in the mountains. The high season lasts from Christmas to Easter and from June to August.
