WELCOME TO GUATEMALA!
THE LAND OF CULTURAL AND ARTISTIC DIVERSITY
Undergoing a process of renovation and high-technology modernization to adjust to its more than three-million population, Guatemala City blends an impressive skyline of contemporary architecture, boutiques, malls and beautiful residential neighborhoods with homes and businesses dating back to the beginning of the 20th century, such as historic markets and houses, which speak of by-gone days.
Amidst this colorful mosaic, sits the beautiful campus of the
Universidad Francisco Marroquín, a private institution of higher education with its impeccable and manicured landscapes and renowned arboretum, a treat to visitors and locals alike.
The University houses an extraordinary cultural center with the Auditorio Juan Bautista Gutiérrez, home of the Bravissimo International Festival, the Museo Ixchel of Textiles and the Museo Popol Vuh with its archaeological treasures.
A visit should be considered a must for anybody visiting the City.
