Guatemala is one of the most striking countries in Latin America and is easily combined with other countries in Central America and the Yucatan . Colonial Antigua, Lake Atitlan and the traditional markets of Chichicastenago or Solola are a must while Tikal has probably the best setting of all the Mayan ruins.
