While it"s snowy and cold in much of the Northern Hemisphere this time of year, December and January are popular months to visit Guatemala, where the skies are clear, but everything is still green and lush from autumn rains.

Its name means "where the river hides under the stones" in Q"eqchi", a Mayan language spoken by local communities.
