Guatemala tourist attractions

[eurostarr]

Guatemala may be a small country but there are a ton of sights to see besides the major Mayan ruins at Tikal, and the pristine Lake Atitlan. there is also the well-preserved Colonial city of Antigua, which has to be a must on your itinerary.

Exploring El Boqueron Canyon, and the Finca Paraiso hot springs waterfall are also a must. To get there, you can get on a private boat and disembarked at a resort near the waterfall. From there, you can hop on a public mini-van towards Boqueron.

Tikal, Lake Atitlan and El Mirador are all great attractions, but if you want to experience the real guatemala you need to get off the beaten path. For instance, you should try an d visit the Garifuna Town of Livingston, which is only reachable by boat. This town is home to the African-descended Garifuna people, who speak Spanish, English, and Garifuna. To get there, you need to catch the boat to Livingston from the town of Rio Dulce.
