Know Guatemala
Guatemala is situated at the northern end of the Central American isthmus.
The country is flanked on the north and west by Mexico, on the southeast
by El Salvador and Honduras, on the northeast by Belize and
the Caribbean, and on the south by the Pacific.
Among its
natural wonders are the Caribbean and Pacific coasts,
virgin tropical jungles, majestic volcanoes, and remarkable
mountain lakes. This diversity of nature, combined with
impressive colonial cities, some of the most outstanding
places in the Mayan world, and the warmth of its people,
makes Guatemala an outstanding place to participate in a
Spanish immersion program.

pumas, and insects. In and around the coral reefs of the
Caribbean, are hundreds of species of plant and animal
life. In this area you will find angelfish,
