Guatamala is home to 37 Volcanoes, several are active, such as Volcan de Fuego. You can do a overnight hike, which I think everybody should try once in their life.
Lake Atitlán, considered one of the most beautiful lakes in the world is surrounded by volcanoes and traditional Mayan villages.
Guatemala has a vibrant display of textiles, handicrafts, and local produce, offering a glimpse into the country’s indigenous culture.
The official language is Spanish, but there are also 22 Mayan languages spoken throughout the country, reflecting its rich indigenous heritage.
I visited Flores, El Remate, Sayaxche, Coban, Semuc Champey, Quetzaltenango, San Pedro, San Juan, San Marcos, Panajachel and Antigua.
