I had a hard time getting up here. An indecent amount of messy (and dangerous) wooden steps have lifted me up to this place. I settle in as best I can, taking in seat and air alike. I look ahead with the feeling that a curtain is opening before me. Three colors: green, blue and ash brown.
Moved by the views from temple IV of the Tikal National Archaeological Park in Guatemala, <\/strong>I can’t help but imagine a sunset seen from here, in the middle of the jungle, 65 meters above the ground. The idea is tempting, but be warned: there is still a lot to explore.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\"Guatemala\"<\/p>\n

Mayan Legacy<\/h2>\n

Guatemala<\/b>, a superb setting for the Mayan legacy<\/strong>, is one of the undisputed protagonists of the Central America<\/strong>. It is worthwhile to get close to the captivating Antigua. <\/strong>Lose yourself in its colorful streets and street markets where it is easy to nibbling<\/em>: bracelets, indigenous amulets and real candies: pure sugar. And I am thrilled to discover that there are still places in the world where the ice cream cart is still the same as always: “That’s good ice cream, just one flavor. Made in the home kitchen like in the old days<\/em>” – boasts our guide.  Everything here is homemade, old-fashioned or historical. A place where things are still done as they used to be done; by slow fire, a seal that is proudly stamped on everything they produce.
Is the greatest reward after a day of walk<\/em>? A cold Gallo (a typical Guatemalan beer) on the terrace of the Sky Coffee<\/strong> or a good  in the Fernando’s Caf\u00e9 <\/strong>-don’t miss the nachos-.<\/p>\n

From Antigua to Paradise<\/em><\/h2>\n

A couple of hours by road from Antigua<\/strong> is possibly the most beautiful place in Guatemala. One of the gates to heaven where time stands still: the Lake Atitl\u00e1n<\/strong>. It is impossible to miss such a volcanic spectacle (still partially active) or to renounce to a good moment of adrenaline while practicing Canopy<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"Lake<\/p>\n

Nearby, you can hear the hubbub and the clinking: in Chichicastenango <\/strong>is market day or “de plaza” as they call it here. Avocado lovers: you are in luck, Don’t you know where the tastiest ones are?<\/strong><\/p>\n
