Kudos for writing another descriptive, informative and useful guide, this time for Guatemala! I used The Adventurer's Guide to Guatemala as my primary resource. I followed your recommendations on day trips in Antigua and was not disappointed. The cultural museum and the macadamia nut farm were especially interesting! The information you provided on lake Atitlan was also helpful. What a beautiful place!

I heartily recommend your guide to anyone traveling to Guatemala. Your stories and thoughtful photos really inspire one to get out an explore. Keep up the great work!

Victor Martel

Guatemala has a colorful culture and a rich blend of peoples which reflect its history and struggle to become the country it is today.

Destinations

In this Guide we take you from the ancient Maya strongholds of Huehuetenango and Xela to one of the most beautiful tourist destinations in the world, Panajachel on the ancient volcanic Lake Atitlan. We show you colorful native markets, the old Colonial capital city of Antigua and give you a sneak peek into the Caribbean side of Guatemala like you have never seen before.

Maya ruins, island cities, exploding volcanoes and the famous brilliantly unique Chicken Buses – it’s all here in this Guide to Guatemala.

Hundreds of photos are included so you can have a personal glimpse into this amazing country!

Save money, save hassle. Take advantage of what we know!
