There are several Volcano hikes in the vicinity of Antigua and Acatenango is one of the more challenging ones. However, the exhausting uphill trek was well worth the amazing view of an erupting volcano.
Located between mountains and volcanos, several small quaint towns decorate the shores of this grand lake. Spectacular views and a region that has preserved the Mayan culture in today's modern world.
Volcanos surround the colonial city which makes for fabulous views. It has many restaurants and bars along its cobbled streets and also a postcard-like view of the city with a volcanic background from a hilltop.
Hidden deep in the Guatemalan forest lies an imposing Mayan city with pyramids towering over the trees. The magnitude of the structures is mesmerizing and deserves its title of being a UNESCO World Heritage site.
