Book Description:

•     Provides the dirt on 50 nature hikes, 10 spelunking caves, 8 biking routes and 6 river-rafting runs
•     Describes 21 archaeological sites and 86 historical sites including 30 unique churches from Maya village parishes to Moorish cathedrals
•     Reviews 21 hotels and 63 budget inns

Just when you think globalization has conquered all, Hidden Guatemala reveals a land defined by indigenous ways, where highland villagers carry on traditions dating back to the ancient Maya empire. This new guide explains how to overcome the limited services while maximizing the pleasures of exploring famous archaeological sites and main cities like Antigua. It then lays out the specific steps needed to find the country's remote natural areas and cultural gems.
     In Hidden Guatemala, veteran travel writer Richard Harris shares know-how earned in journeys by pickup truck, "pig 'n' chickens" bus, riverboat, and on horseback to the most far-flung corners of the country. He offers in-depth reviews of some surprisingly luxurious hotels in addition to many bargain hostels. Leaving nothing to chance, he guides travelers deep into the rainforests on a four-wheel-drive tour or an adventurous hike.

Inside Hidden Guatemala:
(page 157)     Stroll among avocado trees at Posada de Santiago, an intimate stone inn above Lago de Atitlan
(page 181)     Offer up silver and a slug of corn liquor to the "evil saint" Maximon in the highland village of Zunil
(page 203)     Explore the forests of Sierra de las Minas Biosphere Reserve, home to 2/3 of Guatemala's wildlife species
(page 214)     Float on a raft through the Grutas de Candelaria, 240-foot-high caves with Maya mural–covered walls
(page 241)     Sink your teeth into grilled armadillo or roast pheasant at La Mesa de los Maya in old world Flores

As with all guides in the Hidden series, Hidden Guatemala offers descriptive reviews and recommendations of unique travel finds, including distinctive hotels and local restaurants. There are detailed maps to help you navigate the destination as well as traveler-friendly features, like itineraries and "Author's Favorites" checklist, to help you quickly access the information in the guide.
     Hidden guides also offer extensive coverage of outdoor recreation including listings for beaches and parks as well as camping, hiking, biking, water sports and much more. Of course, it wouldn't be Hidden guide if it didn't lead the way to those "Hidden" spots that are overlooked by most travelers but reveal the true nature of the destination.
