Highlights
The World Largest Pyramid
Guatemala is home to the world's largest known pyramid by volume, the ancient Mayan structure known as El Mirador. Buried deep within the Petén jungle, El Mirador's construction predates that of the Egyptian pyramids. Its sheer size is staggering; it covers over 2.8 million square meters and rises more than 70 meters above the rainforest floor, offering a glimpse into the remarkable engineering achievements of the ancient Maya civilization.
Lake Atitlán
Guatemala's Lake Atitlán is renowned not only for its stunning beauty but also for its mysterious depths. Jacques Cousteau famously explored its waters in 1976, determining that its depth is still undetermined. Despite numerous attempts, no one has been able to find the bottom, adding an air of mystique to this already enchanting destination, often referred to as the "most beautiful lake in the world."
