The Post-Classic period is represented by regional kingdoms such as the Itza' and Ko'woj in the lakes area in Petén, and the Mam, K'iche', Kaqchikel, Tz'utujil, Poqomchi', Q'eqchi' and Ch'orti' in the Highlands.

After the collapse of the first Mexican Empire Guatemala formed part of the short-lived United Provinces of Central America. Guatemala's "Liberal Revolution" came in 1871 under the leadership of Justo Rufino Barrios, who worked to modernize the country, improve trade, and introduce new crops and manufacturing. During this era coffee became an important crop for Guatemala. Barrios had ambitions of reuniting Central America and took the country to war in an unsuccessful attempt to attain this, losing his life on the battlefield in 1885 against forces in El Salvador. From 1898 to 1920, Guatemala was ruled by the dictator Manuel Estrada Cabrera, whose access to the presidency was helped by the United Fruit Company.</p> <p id="mwjA">On July 4, 1944, Dictator Jorge Ubico Castañeda was forced to resign his office in response to a wave of protests and a general strike, and from then until the end of a murderous civil war in 1996, Guatemala was subject to a series of coups with massive attendant civil rights abuses. State-sponsored murders of students, human rights activists and the ethnic Mayan peoples, gained Guatemala a terrible reputation around the world. In 1999, U.S. President Bill Clinton stated that the United States was wrong to have provided support to Guatemalan military forces that took part in the brutal civilian killings.</p> <p id="mwjQ">Since the peace accords in 1996, Guatemala has witnessed successive democratic elections.</p> </section></section><section data-mw-section-id="9" id="mwjg"><div class="mw-heading mw-heading3" id="mwAp8"><h3 id="Climate">Climate</h3><span class="mw-editsection" id="mwAqA"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" id="mwAqE">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Guatemala&action=edit&section=9" title="Edit section: Climate" id="mwAqI"><span id="mwAqM">edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" id="mwAqQ">]</span></span></div> <p id="mwjw">Guatemala's climate is diverse and varies according to the country's geography.

id="mwARA">Colorful chicken buses</figcaption></figure> <p id="mwARE">If traveling by bus, there are two classes of buses. The pullman (first class) buses (<i id="mwARI">pullman, expreso, especiales, primera clase</i>), if available, are usually direct routes and are the best option for most. These buses vary in the quality of vehicles. They range from the older MC coaches (older Greyhound buses from the U.S.) to the newer single or double deck Marcopolo or Volvo coaches and anything similar in between. They are comfortable, have washrooms/toilets and will generally show movies, which may or may not be in English with Spanish subtitles (or vice versa) with reserved seating. Others may even offer a drink and a little snack. They may make limited scheduled stops (<i id="mwARM">semi-directo</i>) at specific places en route otherwise they make <i id="mwARQ">no</i> stops en-route. They operate on limited schedules and usually from their own offices or terminals rather than from a central bus station in the cities they serve. The first class pullmans are more common on the route between Guatemala City and Flores and on to neighboring countries but also from Guatemala City to Coban, Huehuetenango, Chiquimula and Quetzaltenango (Xelaju) as well.</p> <p id="mwARU">The most common option are the <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Chicken_bus" title="Chicken bus" id="mwARY">second class buses</a> (<i id="mwARc">chicken bus, camionetas, autobuses de parrillas, polleros, mini-bus, microbus</i>); the more ubiquitous are the decommissioned U.S. school buses painted in all sorts of funky colors and patterns. Other second class buses exist in a Toyota Coaster mini-bus, a smaller Toyota "HiAce" van (referred to as "<i id="mwARg">microbus</i>" or "<i id="mwARk">minibus</i>") or a pick up truck (<i id="mwARo">picop</i>) or some similar type of vehicle that functions the same way as the "<i id="mwARs">chicken bus</i>". Second class bus routes are more frequent and reach more places for a cheaper fare than first class pullman but they also take considerably longer to travel over longer distances (such as from Todo los Santos to Guatemala City) with multiple stops and maybe multiple transfers. They are the most common way for most to travel in and they get crowded with everything and everyone crammed in. Large cargo and luggage usually get placed on and tied to the roof, including live chickens going to market, hence the term "<i id="mwARw">chicken bus</i>". To a visitor riding along, the bus may appear to be full but to the driver and his <i id="mwAR0">ayudante</i> (helper or conductor) there's always room for another person even if the space is just a sliver between two people. If it's physically impossible to squeeze on more people there's always room up on the roof or cling on from the outside as the bus barrels down the road. The chicken buses operate from a central bus terminal (<i id="mwAR4">Terminal de Autobuses</i>) which usually is nothing more than open lot next to an informal market with no ticket offices. You just walk into the lot, hop on and grab a seat. Once the bus is underway and start picking up others along the streets an <i id="mwAR8">ayudante</i> will eventually come around to collect the fares (usually Q10 per hour) and he's usually very good at knowing who paid and giving change, which may not come right away. Check with fellow passengers on what the fare is to a particular destination as it may be more or less than Q10.</p> <p id="mwASA">Robberies of the buses are frequent along the highway in the countryside and in the capital itself. Usually several people, one or more in the front, middle and back of the bus get up, take out their guns and announce a robbery or simply a group of people -or even children- surround you and demand your possessions from you. Sometimes this is part of the regular routine of the bus drivers, sometimes even the drivers organize these robberies.</p> <p id="mwASE">A third option many travelers opt for is the tourist shuttle which costs 5 to 15x more than buses but they are more comfortable to ride in and quicker in getting there. They can be in a Toyota <i id="mwASI">HiAce</i> van, a larger Toyota Coaster minibus or some similar type of vehicle. They can make scheduled stops for bathroom and eating breaks at a restaurant en route but otherwise they run non-stop. They typically connect between different popular tourist destinations such as Antigua, Guatemala City, La Aurora Airport, Panajachel, Chichicastenango (on market days), Lanquin, San Cristobal de las Casas, Ruinas de Copan, etc. Tickets on these are available at the travel agencies in the tourist towns they serve. Pick-up and drop off may be at a their office where everybody meet at or is pre-arranged for pick-up and drop off at hotels and hostels.</p> <p id="mwASM">See the <i id="mwASQ">By bus</i> under <i id="mwASU">Get in</i> in the above and in the <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Guatemala_City#By_bus" title="Guatemala City" id="mwASY">Guatemala City article</a> for a list of available bus companies.</p> </section><section data-mw-section-id="19" id="mwASc"><div class="mw-heading mw-heading3" id="mwAts"><h3 id="By_plane_2">By plane</h3><span class="mw-editsection" id="mwAtw"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" id="mwAt0">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Guatemala&action=edit&section=19" title="Edit section: By plane" id="mwAt4"><span id="mwAt8">edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" id="mwAuA">]</span></span></div> <p id="mwASg">Regular domestic flights only operate between <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Guatemala_City#By_plane" title="Guatemala City" id="mwASk">Guatemala City</a> <b about="#mwt102" typeof="mw:Transclusion" id="mwASo" data-mw='{"parts":[{"template":{"target":{"wt":"IATA","href":"./Template:IATA"},"params":{"1":{"wt":"GUA"}},"i":0}}]}'><a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Guatemala_City#By_plane" title="Guatemala City">GUA</a></b><sup about="#mwt102" id="mwASs"><small><a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/IATA" title="IATA" class="mw-redirect"><span typeof="mw:Entity"> </span>IATA</a></small></sup> and <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Flores_(Guatemala)#By_plane" title="Flores (Guatemala)" id="mwASw">Flores</a> <b about="#mwt103" typeof="mw:Transclusion" id="mwAS0" data-mw='{"parts":[{"template":{"target":{"wt":"IATA","href":"./Template:IATA"},"params":{"1":{"wt":"FRS"}},"i":0}}]}'><a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Flores_(Guatemala)#By_plane" title="Flores (Guatemala)">FRS</a></b><sup about="#mwt103" id="mwAS4"><small><a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/IATA" title="IATA" class="mw-redirect"><span typeof="mw:Entity"> </span>IATA</a></small></sup> on <b id="mwAS8"><a rel="mw:ExtLink nofollow" href="https://www.tag.com.gt" class="external text" id="mwATA">Transportes Aéreos Guatemaltecos (TAG)</a></b> and <b id="mwATE"><a rel="mw:ExtLink nofollow" href="https://www.avianca.com/" class="external text" id="mwATI">Avianca</a></b> (formerly Taca Regional and Aviateca).

Some days it will not be accessible as the volcano may be too active to observe safely. Bring a jacket since it will be windy and cold at the top (although the ground will feel warm) and wear long pants as the volcanic rock can easily give you a nice cut. Tour guides can be organised from Antigua. Until a significant eruption in late May 2010, you were able to walk right up to see real lava and even roast hot dogs and marshmallows over it. Although trips are still common and travel agencies still boast this possibility with pictures of tourist doing so in the past, this is no longer possible.</li></ul> <p id="mwAVY">If you decide to travel to Pacaya alone the prices are quite reasonable. Approximately Q25 (US$3) entrance to the park. At the entrance to Pacaya National Park you will be required to have a local guide, licensed by the park to take you to the top of the volcano. There are two separate entrances to the park, the first located in the town of El Cedro and the second in the town of San Francisco. The El Cedro route is an easier climb, around 2 hours up & 1 hour down the volcano. The San Fracisco entrance is a few miles further past El Cedro. It's a bit of a steeper climb. The entire park is patrolled by local police and soldiers - it is quite safe. Locals also offer horses to bring you for around Q125 (US$15) which if you're not into hiking is a great alternative. These are offered to you when you begin your ascent. There are washrooms, snacks and drinks available for sale at both entrances as well. Secure parking is available for those traveling without a tour group.</p> </section></section><section data-mw-section-id="24" id="mwAVc"><div class="mw-heading mw-heading2" id="mwAvk"><h2 id="Do">Do</h2><span class="mw-editsection" id="mwAvo"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" id="mwAvs">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Guatemala&action=edit&section=24" title="Edit section: Do" id="mwAvw"><span id="mwAv0">edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" id="mwAv4">]</span></span></div> <p id="mwAVg">Guatemala is rich in natural beauty and travel opportunities, it's a country that offers so much to those willing to step off the beaten track for a little while.

Your hotel can help you out with this.
