Description: Experience Guatemala through the lens of a new world traveler. Deb and her husband went on an Overseas Adventure Travel week long trip to Guatemala this past winter and learned a lot about the history of the country and the Mayan culture, past and present. Guatemala is a land of mystery and majesty, home to 1,700-year-old Mayan Temples, active volcanoes and the deepest lake in Central America. From the bustle of Guatemala City to the Mayan mystery of Tikal, Guatemala was an awesome experience that needs to be shared.
