Il Concept
Guatemala possiede una ricchezza culturale e naturale unica. Il Paese offre una vasta offerta ai turisti per soddisfare i gusti, gli interessi e le preferenze dei visitatori da tutto il mondo. Il Guatemala è il cuore del mondo Maya: vivo, magico, mistico, e ancestrale. La sua storia si è sviluppata nel corso degli ultimi 4.000 anni dal momento in cui la civiltà Maya emerse e la cui eredità è ancora evidente nelle tradizioni e la cultura dei suoi abitanti.
Guatemala detiene una straordinaria ricchezza culturale e naturale insieme a una posizione geografica privilegiata. Sfrutta l’affaccio al mare sia sul Pacifico e che nell'Oceano Atlantico, dove i turisti possono praticare la pesca sportiva, surf, e altre attività. Il Paese detiene anche un passato coloniale come ad esempio presso Antigua Guatemala, dichiarato Patrimonio dell'Umanità dall'UNESCO e custodisce le vestigia di una millenaria civiltà ancestrale: i Maya.
Il Paese è anche noto per le sue eccezionali qualità di caffè, che sono il risultato di una combinazione unica di fattori quali l'altitudine, i cicli di pioggia e microclimi. I fattori chiave che contribuiscono alla produzione di un ottimo caffè riguardano le condizioni agro-climatiche del Guatemala, le specie e varietà di piante che si sono sviluppate, le tecniche agronomiche e l'intero processo di raccolta. In poche parole, visitare il Guatemala è un’esperienza unica, inimitabile, indimenticabile e accessibile a tutti. Il caffè guatemalteco mostra un mosaico colorato di sapori e aromi squisiti. Benvenuti nel vero cuore del mondo Maya. Benvenuti in Guatemala, un'esperienza straordinaria.
