Amazing Travel Adventures

The capital city of Guatemala is the most modern and cosmopolitan city in Central America. Fast paced and vibrant, Guatemala City (or Guate as it is known locally) is a mixture of old and new and has a distinct Latin charm. Today in Guatemala City has two and a half million inhabitants, its location and facilities of the international airport “La Aurora” make it the starting point to see the rest of Guatemala.

Guatemala City was founded in 1776, after a devastating earthquake destroyed the old Spanish capital of Central America, “The city of Santiago de los Caballeros de Guatemala,” now known as Antigua Guatemala (or simply Antigua). Guatemala City is spread out over a valley with the Agua volcano dominates the skyline.

Guatemala City has an active cultural life. Most museums in the country are here, plus galleries and exhibitions of paintings, photographs, prints, sculptures by Guatemalan artists, theaters also have a wide range of works by playwrights Guatemalans. And if you want a night of dancing, music and fun, enjoy a meal or just a walk, we recommend the “living zone” area of the best hotels in the city.

Visitors interested in handicraft will find them at Central Market, located one block from the Cathedral. Central Market not only find unique Guatemalan handicrafts, but you will see a colorful variety of flowers, fruits and local vegetables. The map Relief of Minerva Park is a good place to observe the extent of Guatemala and if you have never traveled to Paris should visit “Torre the Reformer,” the sole scale replica in the world of the Eiffel Tower.
