FOOTPRINT GUATEMALA HANDBOOK
By Claire Boobbyer
Guatemala has a monopoly on color - from the red lava tongues of its volcanoes to the creamy shades of its caves. And that's just natures palette. Completing this work of art are the fiestas, where the Maya wear traditional clothes and arcane religious ritual, where idol worship and Roman Catholicism merge.
*All you need to know from the chicken bus timetables to pillow stops in colonial hideaways and coffee fincas
*The lowdown on ancient Maya culture and ruins, the country's 36 year civil war, wildlife, sport and adventure, the multi-ethnic cuisine and the markets
