"Did you know you can explore Maya ruins right in the middle of the capital? We will visit the ancient archaeological site of Kaminaljuyú and the Museo Popol Vuh to marvel at pre-Columbian art. Afterward, we'll head to the Historic Center (Zona 1) to explore the majestic Palacio Nacional de la Cultura (known as 'El Guacamolón') and the stunning Catedral Metropolitana.
