1. Guatemala City
Stay
About the destination: Guatemala City is the capital of Guatemala, and it's the largest and most modern city in the country. Guatemala City is a sprawling city with a mix of modern, colonial, and traditional architecture. It has an interesting Old City, great churches, some good museums and markets, and it’s a good place to see the real Guatemala with its mixtures of Ladino and Indian culture. In zones 13 and 14, in the southern part of the center of Guatemala City, you will find the impressive Avenida las Americas. This wide boulevard is a tribute to every country in Latin America, from Mexico to Argentina and Chile. It runs from Calle 1 to Calle 20, through what is called the cultural area of the city. The central square in Guatemala City, known as Parque Central, is the heart of the city and is always a center of activity. It is also one of the most attractive areas for visitors since many of Guatemala City's most notable features, such as the Cathedral, many museums, the National Palace, and the National Library, surround the Plaza. Most of the Plaza is an open paved area, perfect for doing some shopping, or just sitting back and watching everyone else go about their business. There are also splashing fountains where children play and quieter shaded areas, where young lovers seem to occupy every bench. Nearby, we have the Central Market, a huge market for Guatemalan handicrafts. The genuine and profound hospitality of its inhabitants, combined with the city's outstanding cultural legacy and astonishing natural beauty, makes Guatemala City a compelling place for travelers.

2. Dulce River, NM
Stay
About the destination: The Dulce River is located entirely within the Izabal department of Guatemala. It’s part of a lake and river system that has become a popular destination for cruising sailboats. The river starts where it flows out of Lake Izabal. At the river’s entrance stands a small Spanish colonial fort, the Castillo de San Felipe de Lara, which was built to keep pirates from entering the lake from the Caribbean back when this region of Central America was an important shipping hub. Just after the river leaves Lake Izabal, it’s crossed by one of the largest bridges in Central America. On one side of the bridge is the town of Fronteras—often called Río Dulce—which serves as the local commercial center. Fronteras has a vegetable market that draws people from the countryside, many of whom arrive in dugout canoes. Most of these boats use Japanese outboard motors, but some people still paddle their cayucos by hand on market days. On the other side of the bridge is the town of El Relleno. Nearby is Casa Guatemala, a children’s village and orphanage that houses about 250 children, providing them with food and education.

About the destination: Flores is the capital of the Petén Department, the northernmost and landlocked department of Guatemala. The population is 13,700 (as of 2003). Flores is also the administrative center of the municipality of Flores, which has a population of 22,600. The city is home to the Catedral Nuestra Señora de Los Remedios y San Pablo Itzá, which is the cathedral episcopal seat of the Apostolic Vicariate of El Petén (previously a territorial prelature). The older part of the city is situated on an island in Lake Peten Itza, linked to the mainland by a short causeway. On the mainland, you'll find the suburb of Santa Elena and, to the west, the adjoining municipality of San Benito.

6. The Old One
Stay
About the destination: Antigua Guatemala is a stunning and enchanting colonial city with nearly 500 years of history, blessed with a favorable climate and an extraordinary view of the Fuego and Acatenango volcanoes. The city's beauty is breathtaking, so much so that it was designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1979. I guarantee that visitors will be captivated by its historical, culinary, and cultural attractions. It was established in the Panchoy Valley and named the third capital of Guatemala. This city is frozen in time, caught between the thick walls of its temples, still preserving restored buildings from the 16th century. The city's main attractions include the Palace of the Captains General, the Santa Catalina Convent and Arch, the Main Plaza, the Jade Museum, the Antigua Cathedral of Guatemala, the Museum of the University of San Carlos, the Holy Route of Brother Pedro, among others. I suggest you hike up Cerro de la Cruz for a stunning view of the entire city.
