Geographical Map of Guatemala Guatemala is situated in Central America, bordering the North Pacific Ocean, between El Salvador and Mexico, and bordering the Gulf of Honduras (Caribbean Sea) between Honduras and Belize. Area: Total: 108,890 sq km  Land: 108,430 sq km  Water: 460 sq km

Guatemala City Attractions Cantaloupe-colored Post office  Santo Tomas de Castilla Mundo Petapa is located in the centre of Guatemala City in an area that is probably best summarised by the widespread presence of armed guards. Enthusiasts shouldn’t let the slightly dodgy location put them off, though; the park behind the walls is top notch, with a substantial number of high quality attractions. The adult rides in the park were only opened in August of this year, marking the coming of age of a park that was until recently aimed at children only. Cantaloupe-colored post office is one of the loveliest buildings in the city.  Santo Tomas de Castilla: It is true that the one-time "jewel of Central America" has lost much of its luster. The fact remains that the isthmus' largest metropolis has exactly what you'd expect from an urban area of 2.5 million people—the best selection of restaurants, hotels, nightlife, shopping, and museums in the country. The country's only true city does grow on you, although it probably takes longer than the typical short visit that most travelers give the place. Mundo Petapa

Maya Temples Mayans- Indigenous peoples of the Americas located in Southern Mexico and Guatemala. The Mayans are distinguished from other indigenous peoples in their advanced sciences and writings. Tikal region:  the ruins of Tikal. Settled in 700 B.C., Tikal was the grandest of all Mayan cities. Long protected by the jungle in the remote Peten Peninsula, Tikal is now a UNESCO World Heritage site. Here, see towering pyramids rise above the rainforest canopy while the sounds of tropical birds fill the air. Look for spider and howler monkeys. Visit Tikal’s great plaza.
