Guatemala lives halfway between the past and the future. Its incredible Mayan heritage lives on, like the ancient city of Tikal surrounded by more than 18,000 km² of protected jungle and one of the best preserved remains of the Empire. At the other extreme, Guatemala City, the country's capital, combines the modernity of offices, restaurants and shops with centuries-old buildings that demonstrate its legacy. A two-stroke country to discover at the hands of Barceló Hotels & Resorts in Guatemala.
Mayan ruins abound in Guatemalan territory, a rare privilege in the rest of the world. Watching the sunrise surrounded by the temples of the ancient city of Tikal is an experience that culminates in the challenging Temple of the Great Jaguar. There, 3,000 ancient structures are intermingled with the jungle inhabited by jaguars, monkeys and the elusive quetzal.
The city of Santiago de los Caballeros was the old capital of the country until an earthquake devastated the city in 1773. Despite this, this town flanked by three volcanoes retains much of its colonial splendor, which earned it the title of World Heritage City thanks to its urban center with enclaves such as the Parish of San José or the City Hall Palace.
Less than an hour from the current capital and with easy access from the Barceló Hotels & Resorts in Guatemala, Antigua is a destination worth a visit for its unique architecture and to try local products such as coffee or beans.
