What are the best places to go to in Guatemala?

• Tikal, the Mayan center, in the jungle full of howler monkeys is the big attraction along with the very colorful Guatemalan people. Antigua is the place where many Spanish courses are held and where it is pleasant to be. Chichi has something magical, Flores, Livingston, Xela (Quetzaltenango) and Panajachel (with the famous Atitlán crater lake) complete the tour.
• Take a jungle tour or eco-trek on or around the Rio Dulce.
• Climb the active Pacaya volcano near Antigua (in groups).
• Spanish classes of all shapes and sizes in Antigua or Quetzaltenango (Xela), with the goal of becoming proficient in Spanish.
• Take a two-day trip to the famous Mayan ruins of Copán in Honduras.
• The vibrant and authentic market of Chichi(castenango), high in the mountains.
• Monterrico on the Pacific: good surfing, cheap and cozy!
• Flores is a town located in northern Guatemala, in an area of former Mayan rulers. Located on an island in Lake Peten, Flores is a good base for visiting the ruins of Tikal. These world-famous Mayan pyramids are hidden in the jungle of the tropical rainforest, so there is extensive animal life here.
• Antigua; about a 45-minute drive from Guatemala City lies this former Spanish-colonial capital of Central America. The city lies in a deep valley and is surrounded by the volcanoes Agua, Fuego and Acatenango, which played an important role in Antigua's history. The city has a colonial atmosphere with churches, monasteries, palaces and plazas. In 1979, Antigua was declared a "monument of the Americas" by UNESCO.
• Lake Atitlán, surrounded by volcanoes and Mayan villages. Called by many "the most beautiful lake" in the world.
