Guatemala City is the capital of Guatemala (Central America). It is known for its Mayan history, its location in the highlands and nearby volcanoes. In the central Plaza Mayor, also known as the central park, the Metropolitan Cathedral is full of colonial paintings and religious carvings. The National Palace of Culture has a balcony overlooking the square. To the south of the city there are trails that lead to the active Pacaya volcano.
