Answer 1

Beaches on the Pacific Ocean in Guatemala are unique, because the sand is black volcanic sand! Not your everyday sand.

Also look up pics of Semuc Champey, no envy for Niagara Falls.   Talk about beautiful.

Answer 3

You should look up some info about Lake Atitlan, its the most gorgeous place that I have ever seen!

Laguna Chicabal is a lake in the crater of a volcano, it is a sacred Mayan lake. When you climb the volcano to get to it, you carry a piece of corn and then make a wish and throw it into the lake and then you can touch the water. But you are not allowed to swim there.

Hope this helps!
