The Central American country of Guatemala boasts lush rainforests, steep volcanoes and an array of fascinating Mayan sites. It also sports urban pleasures, with an estimated 4.5 million residents in Guatemala City, the capital. The country is divided into three regions: the highlands, where the mountains soar; the Pacific coast; and the Petén region, north of the mountains. It is ecologically diverse, with 14 ecoregions including the second-largest forest in Central America. Antigua, west of Guatemala City in the central highlands, brings history alive with its cobblestone streets and carefully preserved Spanish buildings. Antigua once served as the capital of the Kingdom of Guatemala, and is a UNESCO World Heritage site.
