Two things worth knowing

#1 • Place of Trees

Guatemala derives its name from the indigenous Nahuatl word Cuauhtēmallān, which translates to 'place of many trees.' The label was originally applied by Mexica allies to the Kaqchikel capital of Iximche before expanding across the entire region during colonial rule.

#2 • Colonial Splendor

Antigua Guatemala, an early capital of the Captaincy General of Guatemala, is renowned worldwide as a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its preserved Spanish Baroque architecture and scenic setting beneath majestic volcanoes.
