Antigua Overview

By Travel Expert: Candyce H. Stapen

A Guatemalan journey is best for families with gradeschoolers and teens who enjoy eco-adventures and learning about different cultures. Climb Tikal's temples (see (El Peten), join a schoolyard soccer game, and bargain for brightly woven backpacks at local markets. The rainforest thrums with the sounds of howler monkeys, Maya villages prove that their people are far from extinct, and Lake Atitlan (see Lake Atitlan) ranks among the world's most scenic lakes. Guatemala's moderate prices also appeal to travelers.
