Guatemala - Hidden Treasure of the Mayans

Description

Guatemala, the hidden treasure of the Mayans. Through colonial streets to Mayan temples lost in the jungle. A country where the tourist footprint has not yet pressed too hard, revealing the raw reality of Latin America. We will enjoy views of majestic volcanoes, walk through colorful markets of the indigenous Mayans, and uncover how Christianity blends with traditional pagan beliefs. We will touch the stone temples not only in Tikal, where the fate of the entire Mayan civilization was once decided. We will spend the night in the jungle among tarantulas, discover sanctuaries known only to locals. We will meet shamans working with fire, smoke, and ancient rituals. We will learn that Guatemala is not just exotic but also a country marked by civil war, poverty, and pervasive tension, as we experience the most significant celebration of the year in the capital's streets. We will also wander among the Garifuna on the Caribbean coast. In short, we will traverse the entire country from corner to corner. And this time, it won't be without a few mishaps and punk moments.
