Guatemala is the capital of the Central American country Guatemala. The area boasts a rich heritage from the time of the Mayan civilization, as well as beautiful views offered by Mother Nature.
Guatemala is independent of 15th September 1821 year. Today it is a republic in which the president and the prime minister is the same person.
But why you should visit Guatemala? Many believe that this is one of the most insecure countries in the world, but we would not agree with that. Although the capital city is not exactly the safest city, but other parts of the state are popular tourist destinations. Although, wherever you travel in the world, anywhere you will not be 100% secure, even in the comfort of your own home. So, if you fear for safety – stay in your room and wait to complete your life.
Like every country in Central America, Guatemala is pretty cheap. For dinner you will pay just six dollars, hostel room is three dollars and a private room in the hotel is about 13 dollars. Sure, Guatemala is a paradise for those who want to explore – there are numerous excursions, including visits to Pacaya volcano whose trip (including transport and guide) will pay the 13 dollars.
