Guatemala is the ideal destination for visiting distant worlds among ancient civilisations and "crackling" natural scenarios, thanks to its rich landscape and its history that lives on in the imposing buildings of the Maya, whose beauty is waiting to be explored. Guate, or Guatemala City, is the capital full of energy, overwhelming music and the constant coming and going of "camioneta de pollos", eccentrically decorated buses, while Antigua will win you over with its colonial architecture, among the best-preserved in all of Latin America. But the real protagonist of Guatemala - apart from the "sacred" volcanoes surrounding Lake Atitlan - is the Mayan civilisation, whose greatness manifests itself in the ruins of Tikal, an ancient city that has long been hidden in the forest and is a World Heritage Site today thanks to its marvellous buildings - among which the Temple of the Great Jaguar stands out.
