Guatemala City at $565 RT

Cooking a pizza beneath a volcano? Listening to an ancient language? Learning to weave a Huipil of ancestral patterns? 

Must be Guatemala!

Guatemala City isn't usually where most visitors spend their time, but it is the main travel hub that connect you to all corners of the country. We always recommend heading for both Antigua and Lake Atitlan.

But before you skip town, you've also gotta glimpse real murals and sculptures at the Museo Popol Vuh. Get your cultural context in order, and then start digging into Mayan cuisine — like that rich pepián de pollo.
