  • Where is Guatemala?

    Guatemala is at the end of time, just past your ego and this side of your soul. Before, Guatemala, one asks - where is Guatemala? After, one knows, forever in your heart.

  • Where is Guatemala?

    Guatemala is the first country of the Central America chain, just at south of Mexico and next to El Salvador and Honduras. Guatemala is known for being the center of the Maya Culture, who left us their temples as heritage. Tikal is the most known maya city at international level. El Mirador is another intriguing place at the north of Tikal inside the Petén jungle and it has the biggest maya pyramids known. Mostly buried, the archaeologists are in current work over there. The country is divided into 22 departments, the government system is democratic and the weather is so blessed, that you can enjoy sun and rain in the perfect proportion all over the year. La Antigua Guatemala is another of the most visited places in Guatemala. But as a traveler, I will take you in pictures to all the places I have been, which are not precisely the most known attractions, but hidden places and spots that only few have seen.
  • Where is Guatemala?

    Guatemala is directly south of Mexico, roughly the size of Newfoundland and has 12 million people. The country has 23 volcanoes (some of them active), immense subterranean caverns, lush lowland tropical vegetation on two coasts, one of the largest surviving semi-tropical rainforests in the Americas, a powerful agricultural sector and, particularly at higher altitudes, severe environmental degradation. Guatemala is best known for its enormously important pre-columbian and colonial archaeological sites, a vibrant contemporary native culture and a devastating civil war during the 1970s and 1980s. The Mayan peoples today are experiencing a political and cultural renaissance that promises to mark a turning point in modern Guatemalan history and will provide an important focal point for our studies. Guatemala is by international standards a middle-income country, but social stratification is very pronounced. Income and wealth are distributed very unequally. Every day, you will see vivid reminders that some of the wealthiest and some of the poorest people in all of the Americas live in Guatemala. The capital Guatemala City has roughly 3 million people. Like many cities in Latin America, it is growing quickly. Almost all Guatemalans speak Spanish although half of them retain a strong identity of being Maya. Many of the Maya speak a native language as their mother tongue. The semester is located in La Antigua Guatemala, which is the former capital of colonial Central America - a UNESCO heritage site located at an altitude of 5500 feet. It is a small town on the edge of the highlands, with cobble-stoned streets and numerous colonial structures although only 45 minutes driving on the major highway from Guatemala City. The population at any one time typically includes many tourists, international students learning Spanish, resident foreigners and, especially on weekends, wealthy Guatemalans. Partly as a consequence, the town has numerous language schools, restaurants, bars, cafes, etc.
