Guatemala's natural wealth
Whether it’s admiring magnificent volcanoes reflected in the waters of sparkling lakes or discovering diverse wildlife in the middle of the jungle, Guatemala is a true paradise that deserves to be discovered with care.
Among the must-see sites that we strive to preserve through our eco-responsible involvement in the country are :
Lake Atitlán
Nestling in the heart of the Guatemalan mountains, Lake Atitlán is the deepest lake in Central America. It is renowned for its breathtaking beauty. Surrounded by imposing volcanoes and picturesque villages inhabited by Mayan communities, this lake is a haven of peace, looking like a real postcard.
Tikal National Park
A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Tikal National Park is one of the most impressive archaeological sites in Central America. In the heart of the jungle, the site is home to the mysterious ruins of the ancient Mayan city of Tikal, bearing witness to the grandeur of this vanished civilisation.
The Maya Biosphere Reserve
This reserve, located in northern Guatemala, is one of the most important conservation areas in Central America. By exploring its winding trails and forests in a responsible manner, you will have the opportunity to observe exceptional flora and fauna, while helping to preserve this fragile ecosystem.

Raising awareness of environmental issues
