Guatemala City is not only beautiful, but also has a culture that brings traditions, history, and a zest for life to the people around the country. From the Mayan rituals and the colorful woven clothes to traditional markets and beautiful churches, Guatemala City has plenty to offer its visitors. You can enjoy the thrill of riding the “chicken buses” that can be found all over the city. For hikers, a trip to the Volcano Fuego would be an interesting trip as you can watch the active volcano erupt all night long or roast marshmallows over warm lava rocks during the day. If you would be interested in bringing home something from your trip, you can shop at the textile markets. The country of Guatemala is known for colorful textiles and exquisitely made artisan goods. A trip to Guatemala City would not be complete without visiting the Metropolitan Cathedral that is located right at the heart of the city. The cathedral’s interior consists of colonial art designs from ancient Antigua city.
