About Guatemala

This northernmost Central American country borders Mexico to the north and west, and Belize, Honduras, and El Salvador to the east. Set between the Caribbean and the Pacific Ocean, the climate here is very mild and is often described as "eternal spring".

The Maya civilization flourished in Guatemala and surrounding regions during the first millennium A.D. After almost three centuries as a Spanish colony, Guatemala won its independence in 1821. During the second half of the 20th century, it experienced a variety of military and civilian governments, as well as a 36-year guerrilla war.

Guatemala’s history takes us back to times when The Mayans were a highly sophisticated culture that developed complex social, political and religious systems. They made many contributions to humanity which we still use today, including domesticated corn, the mathematical concept of zero, bubblegum, and tobacco. Their superb architectural feats can still be seen today dotted across the landscape and make for great excursions. Today, 55 per cent of the 11 million Guatemalans descend from this noble civilization. The country is culturally rich with each group having its own traditions, music and colorful handicrafts. Guatemalans are famous for their friendliness and hospitality, creating an ideal circumstance for foreigners looking for an authentic exchange with an exotic culture.
