TIKAL NATIONAL PARK
Tikal is one of the most impressive archaeological sites in the Americas. While totally different in architecture and setting from the Inca ruins of Machu Picchu in Peru, it is just as spectacular.
ANTIGUA
Antigua has a large English-speaking community, a wide range of accommodations, upscale and medium-priced restaurants, espresso bars, delicious baked goods and, for nightlife, jazz clubs and a disco.
CHICHICASTENANGO
Also known as "Chichi," Chichicastenango is usually a sleepy town with cobblestone streets, but on Thursday and Sunday it hosts a well-known market that attracts thousands of Amerindians and large crowds of tourists. COPAN
Copan is one of the largest and most impressive of all the Maya centers discovered so far. It consists of pyramids, temples and stone pillars, or stelae, with exquisite carved likenesses of ancient Copan kings.
GUATEMALA CITY
Guatemala City is the capital of the country and the largest city in Central America.
LAKE ATITLAN
We think Lake Atitlan, with its enchanting backdrop of three volcanoes, is one of the most beautiful lakes on Earth—well worth a two-night visit.
