City Tours in Guatemala

Cities in Guatemala remain unchanged from the colonial era in many ways – there are still colorful Maya marketplaces that stand in stark contrast to the baroque architecture left behind by the Spanish. Go to Antigua, Quetzaltenango, and Huehuetenango to see picturesque examples of this comingling. All of these cities have incredible historic districts, stately cathedrals, and museums. Guatemala City – Guatemala’s largest city – has its fair share of colonial cathedrals, as well as attractions that are representative of Guatemala’s modern culture.
