Guatemala
Guatemala is a country of dramatic contrasts: volcanic peaks rising above highland valleys, dense jungle covering ancient Maya cities, and cobblestone colonial towns where indigenous textile traditions remain part of daily life. The air in the altiplano carries wood smoke and the sound of market vendors; the Pacific and Caribbean coasts occupy an entirely different climate register.
