Guatemala Travel Guide
This vibrant country has a monopoly on colour, from the red lava of volcanoes in the Western Highlands to the creamy shades of the caves in the Petén, and from the white sand of the Caribbean near Lívingston to the black sand and fabulous orange sunsets over the Pacific at Monterrico. And that's just nature's palette. Completing this work of art are traditional Maya fiestas, like the colourful Todos Santos All Saints' Day horse race, and majestic jungle temples, most famously at Tikal.
