The Day of the Dead traditions in Guatemala
October 17, 2016
This mountainous land, swathed in pristine rainforests and steeped in ancient Mayan culture, is a joy to discover. Mysterious abandoned cities lie tangled amongst the jungles of the north, while colonial architecture adorns cities and towns. Indigenous highland villages retain their Mayan roots with rainbow-hued fabrics and religious rituals. It is this cultural mix that makes Guatemala so exciting. Natural beauty abounds too, with soaring mountains and volcanoes, rushing rivers, wide lakes and deep caves. Guatemala even boasts a Pacific coast and its own little corner of the Caribbean.
