Guatemala keeps an amazing and rich Mayan culture framed in a tropical jungle that, from Barceló Hotels & Resorts in Guatemala City, will not leave the traveler indifferent. Its new capital, Guatemala City, has an undeserved reputation for being just a place of passage, but the truth is that it contains a beautiful colonial heritage and a lively social and cultural life that should not be missed.

The liveliest capital

Guatemala City has not always been the capital of the country; it was moved here after the 1773 earthquakes destroyed Santiago de Guatemala, now known simply as Antigua. The current capital has a vibrant character that, staying at Barceló Hotels & Resorts in Guatemala City, will be felt in the streets as you stroll between the Plaza de la Catedral, the Presidential Palace or the Central Market, which also contains a craft market ideal to find that unique piece that will make you remember the trip.

 

Also, don't forget to try the tortillas made with white, yellow and blue corn and, above all, see how they are made and let yourself be carried away by the characteristic sound of clapping that resonates throughout the country when they seek to give the desired shape to this typical Guatemalan delicacy.

Antigua, the colonial jewel of Guatemala

Less than an hour from the Barceló Hotels & Resorts in Guatemala City is Antigua, which was once the country's capital and was devastated by the earthquakes of 1773. This city is one of the most beautiful colonial jewels of America, with the permission of Cartagena de Indias. Its spectacular situation, surrounded by three volcanoes - Agua, Fuego and Acatenango, two of them active - only adds spectacularity to its old town, whose main visit is the Catholic Cathedral of San José, and its streets dotted with colorful houses.
