Lake Atitlan

Guatemala



Before I left, I decided to learn more about Guatemala.  Here are some facts:

• Guatemala means "Land of Trees."
• Guatemala is home to the volcanoes, rainforests, and Mayan sites.
• Lake Atitlan, formed in a massive volcanic crater, is surrounded by coffee fields and villages (we will be there!)
• Guatemala is the most populous in Central America
• The capital is Guatemala City
• There are 17,005,497 people in Guatemala (there are 585,000 people in Wyoming)
