Guatemala


Guatemala is a country in Central America. Its area is 108,890 km² with an estimated population of 13,276,517. The former Mayan civilization was a Mesoamerican civilization, which continued throughout the Post-Classic period until the arrival of Spanish. The Mayans lived in Guatemala, Honduras, Belize, the southern part of Mexico and northern parts of El Salvador before European settlers arrived.

Guatemala has 37 volcanoes, four of them are active: Pacaya, Santiaguito, Fuego and Tacana. Fuego and Pacaya erupted in 2010. This beautiful postcard shows Fuego, Pacaya and Agua. Love them!

Many thanks to dear Otto for sending me awesome postcard with beautiful stamps! I love postmark of Guatemala, it's really special and unique.
