17 ~~~ Touropia ~ Guatemala ~~~ 10 Most Fascinating Mayan Ruins in Guatemala The Central American country of Guatemala is filled with traditional native villages and colorful markets. If you can tear yourself away from its present charm, you’ll find a past that is even more awesome: remains of the Mayan cities that once dominated the country. The Mayans were one of the greatest early civilizations, and their technology will astound you even today. But don’t stop your learning adventure at must-see Tikal. Other Mayan ruins in Guatemala are just as impressive and, because they’re not as well known, not overrun by travelers.

19 ~~~ Touropia ~ Guatemala ~~~ 12 Best Things to do in Antigua Guatemala With its delightful cobbled streets, colonial architecture and leafy plazas, Antigua Guatemala is a picturesque and peaceful place to visit. It’s no wonder that it is an increasingly popular tourist destination. The former capital of the country lies in a volcanic part of Guatemala; the impressive Volcan de Agua which towers above it is in part what makes Antigua such a scenic city to visit. Among the most popular things to do in Antigua Guatemala are numerous treks and outdoor adventure activities in the city’s surroundings. Over the centuries, Antigua Guatemala has unfortunately been plagued by earthquakes. Consequently, you’ll see quite a few ruined and damaged buildings while walking around town. This only adds to the city’s considerable charm; the overgrown ruins lie next to beautiful colonial churches and convents which themselves have seen better days. Meaning ‘Old Guatemala’, there is certainly an old-timey feel and look about the city. This is what makes it so endearing to visit and explore. www.touropia.com/things-to-do-in-antigua-guatemala/7 October 2020 |
