Guatemala - Culture Overview Guatemala's rich cultural heritage includes great contrasts. The indigenous Maya groups were never brought completely under the control of the colonial Spaniards, and so an unusually large percentage of the descendants of the Maya have been able to resist integration into the world built by the descendants of the Europeans. Some of the most intense pressure on the Indian (Mayan) communities has come from the military governments of recent years, but many have been able to resist and survive. Today there is contact and exchange between the Indian highlands and the towns of the ladinos, a group that includes whites and mestizos. Their cultures have in many ways remained separate, however, divided like the population itself.

Chichicastenango Huehuetenango Guatemala City Aguateca ... Links Mayan Culture refer a friend The Maya civilization was one of the grandest in the history of the world and the reason for its collapse is still shrouded in mystery. The ancient Maya occupied a vast geographic area in Central and South America from around 2000 BC until 1500 AD. The Mayan culture extended to parts of what is now Mexico, Honduras, and El Salvador, and most of Guatemala and Belize. During the Classical Period which lasted from the third to the ninth century, Maya civilization built awe-inspiring temples, pyramids and cities and formed a complex social and political order. Many of the remnants in Tikal reveal the culture of this ancient civilization. The Mayan culture excelled in many different fields, and testaments of their achievements are found throughout the area. Today descendents of the old Maya, or the Indigenous as the are locally referred to, account for more than 50% of the Guatemalan population. Their present culture is vibrant and thriving, best shown by the many traditionally dressed woman and children seen along the streets in the entire country. Weaving is one of the outstanding Maya craft, an ancient art that has survived uninterrupted for centuries and is now becoming famous all over the world. The Maya also make baskets, pottery and wood carved of animals, saints and brightly-painted toys and chests.

26. Guatemala Travel | Lonely Planet World Guide them on its tourist brochures while sticking guns in their faces.Despite this, indigenous Guatemalan culture is alive and well. http://www.lonelyplanet.com/destinations/central_america/guatemala/

home search help worldguide ... Related Weblinks Guatemala Despite its turmoil, travelers flock to Guatemala because it offers Central America in concentrated form: its volcanoes are the highest and most active, its Mayan ruins the most impressive, its earthquakes the most devastating and its history of repression decidedly world-class. Guatemala is the Mayan heartland of Central America, though the government has both touted and tortured the Maya - sticking pictures of them on its tourist brochures while sticking guns in their faces. Despite this, indigenous Guatemalan culture is alive and well. It survives in the ancient ruins of Tikal, the Mayan/Catholic rituals of Chichicastenango and the blazing colors of everyday Mayan dress. Since the peace treaties were signed, inspiring even the least-intrepid travellers to venture beyond the Guatemala City-Antigua corridor, indigenous Guatemala has been rolling out the red carpet to once-isolated and lovely villages with access to some of Central America's wildest natural wonders. Warning Travel in Guatemala is generally safe, but a relatively high level of violent crimes are committed against foreigners, so travellers should be alert to potentially dangerous situations. Vehicle-jackings are more or less common, and the larger cities can be dangerous, especially Guatemala City.
