The beautiful landscape, deep history and its many attractions make Guatemala a popular tourist destination. Although not a common vacation city, many travel through Guatemala City as it is Guatemala's headquarters and transportation center. Antigua Guatemala is one of the oldest and most stunning cities in the America's. The city is set near three volcanoes; Agua, Fuego and Acatenango. Chichicastenango is an interesting market town hidden by a valley and surrounded by mountains. To view Mayan architecture one can venture through the jungle and visit the Tikal Ruins. Here steep sided pyramids rise to heights of almost 150 feet.
