Guatemala Travel Guide.
Lonely Planet Publications.

Guatemala is still considered a hard travel destination, but tough it
through: you'll be grateful when you get amongst the colourful chaos of
the Chichicastenango market, climb towards the sun on Tikal's towering
Mayan pyramids and wrap your tongue around the rolling R's at the
world-famous language schools of Antigua.
More cultural coverage than any other guidebook, including
specialist-written Ancient Mayan Culture chapter.
364 pages of expert itineraries and 35 pages of maps.
Resident author guides you through seldom-visited towns.
The best of Guatemala accommodation.

Hidden
Guatemala

Richard Harris
Size 5" x 7-7/8" / 282 pages / 13 line drawings / 12 maps
First Edition
$17.95
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.

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.
