Discover le Guatemala
A small territory still little known to Europeans, Guatemala is a real jewel that is just waiting to be discovered. From its Mayan heritage to its cultural richness, through the beauty of its landscapes and the diversity of its reliefs, it will seduce history lovers as well as nature and trekking enthusiasts. It is a multiple country that can be discovered, learned and lived at the rhythm of its inhabitants, indigenous as well as ladinos - the heirs of the Mayan and Spanish mixture inherent to the Conquista of 1524. Nevertheless, still deeply marked by 36 years of civil war - from 1960 to 1996 - Guatemala suffers from a bad reputation. If social inequalities are indeed prevalent, the stereotype of a country where violence and insecurity reign seems reductive, far from the reality that one is confronted with once there. These are all the facets that we will try to present here.
