Explore Live Cams in Guatemala

Guatemala is a land of volcanoes in Central America, covering about 42,040 square miles (108,889 km²) between Mexico and the Pacific and Caribbean coasts. A chain of 37 volcanoes runs across its southern highlands, while the north is a flat, steamy lowland of rainforest, rivers and ancient Maya cities.

Its most famous natural landmark is Lake Atitlán, a deep blue crater lake ringed by three volcanoes and Maya villages. Tajumulco, at about 13,845 feet (4,220 m), is the highest peak in Central America, and volcanoes like Fuego and Santiaguito still erupt regularly. In the far north, the Maya Biosphere Reserve is the largest protected area in Central America.

Deep in the Petén rainforest, the temples of Tikal rise above the treetops, home to howler and spider monkeys, toucans and jaguars, and the site is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. At Semuc Champey, a river slips underground beneath a natural limestone bridge topped with turquoise pools.

Did You Know? The resplendent quetzal, Guatemala's national bird, is so important that the country's money is called the quetzal, and the bird appears on its flag.
