Today we are celebrating 192 years since Guatemala declared independence from Spain. But it is not only my country the one celebrating. All of Central America used to be one confederation: Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua and Costa Rica. After 229 years of Spanish domain, you can still find Spanish legacy all around: from language, religion, food and family traditions. This month a torch of freedom will travel from Guatemala all the way to Costa Rica and it will be carried by thousands of central Americans with pride and honour There is so many interesting fact about Guatemala, but I tried to sort out the 10 most interesting from a British point of view.

This is your last chance to vote for the most beautiful ruins in Mesoamerica. #Tikal is the city of echoes and it deserves international recognition. The Mayans were a great civilization, they were the best engineers in the world (invented the aqueducts, calculated the most accurate solar calendar and studied astronomy in #Guatemala) Why should you vote for Tikal? Because it is is one of the largest archaeological sites and urban centres of the pre-Columbian Maya civilization and it stands tall and proud today! Help Guatemala be famous and give us your vote before September 30th. 8th #WonderOfTheWorld at http://www.virtualtourist.com/8thwonder @VirtualTourist_ Children learning with laptops.

I was pleased to read this morning about this article by Lonely Planet: Tikal is #1 of the "10 Best Things to Climb in the world!" They researched over 1,000 ultimate experiences and Tikal came out #1!!!! Followed by Namibia, Argentina, Scotland, Hawaii, Siria, Peru, India, Australia and Kilimanjaro in Tanzania!!! wow, so if you live in Guatemala or never been there, take 2013 to put Tikal in your #1 list of wish travelling and make it happen! I did the sunrise tour, woke up at 3 am and seen the perfect sun raising from the Jungle as howling monkeys woke up to start the most amazing jungle concert I have ever imagined. I can still picture all our group sitting on Temple VI feeling the amazing energy of the Mayan civilization and speechless for the natural richness that surrounded us.
