Description

Deep in the lush forests of Guatemala the pyramids and ruins of Mayan culture can be found. Lonely Planet takes you off the usual tourist path and into incredible archaeological sites. Guatemala has long been a favoured destination for North American backpackers and people seeking alternatives to package tours. Due south of Mexico, this tropical and politically stable country is famous for its great coffee, vibrant music and warm hospitality. This new guide, by someone well-versed in travelling throughout Central America, leads readers on a counter-culture tour of the country. Gorry includes the scoop on wacky and adventurous activities, from aura healings and tarot readings to white-water rafting and hiking active volcanoes. A Mayan and Spanish language section, and the map and comments for the city of Copan, are included.As with all the the books in Lonely Planet's On the Road series, online upgrades are available and constantly updated.
