Guatemalan Plaza

As soon as you enter the park you can aboard the train, the Transcostero, which will give you a first impression of the magnitude of the park you are about to encounter. This locomotive, styled like the ones used at the beginning of the century, departs from a replica of the old central station in the City of Guatemala, destroyed by the earthquake of 1917. The trip of two kilometers around Xetulul Park lets you see the ecological beauty of the place, with a refreshing and untamed tropical forest.

This trip is a preparation to the experience that awaits you in the inside. As soon as you enter you will fill this place as a place where everything is possible. From the train station you will find the Guatemalan Plaza, with a mix of history and architecture.

In the Royal Palace the Act of Independence was signed. To one side you will find buildings that are not only beautiful but emblems of the Guatemalan history: like Antigua’s City Hall, the famous house of Doctor Montero, located in the historical center of Guatemala City, and the church of San Agustín Acasaguastlán, of the Department of El Progreso.

Guatemalan Town

One of the things that makes the trip entertaining is that nothing is just there at random, every building fulfils its duty, and so the City Hall is a restaurant, while the house and the church are shops.

The same thing happens in the area of the Guatemalan town, where the houses from Antigua are shops, the San Felipe, Retalhuleu hall is a fair, and the old Hotel del Norte from Puerto Barrios is a seafood restaurant.

The Mayan Plaza

The time bridge takes you to the Gran Jaguar pyramid, which is 34 meters high, showing its original splendor with impressive colors, and to the side four live jaguars guard it.

This forms part of the Mayan Plaza, the neuralgic center of the park and a place where you can feel part of the magical energy of Tikal.

Welcome to Europe

The Spanish Plaza

Spain is the door of entrance to the old continent and its architectonic jewel is La Alhambra, a beautiful area with well-kept gardens and singing water on its fountains.

You will also find the Spanish town with narrowed streets and white front walls, where you can smell newly baked churros (crullers) and watch the religious images that accompany the visitor.

The German/Swiss Plaza

Our next stop will be on the Central Europe typical landscape, where the snow is the main character almost the whole year round and the houses are built with the wood of forests of thousands of years.

The sloping, colorful, sheet ceilings of the buildings, as well as every detail of its construction has been copied to imitate the style of those buildings you can enjoy in Lake Constanza, in Baden-Wütemberg (Germany), or in the beautiful capital city of Lucern, at the edge of the Lake of Four Corners (Switzerland).

The French Plaza

A little bit far you will find the City of Lights, Paris, a place of liberty expressions and impressive shows.

There you will find the Grand Theatre, one of the biggest works in the park, with a capacity for 450 people; and also the Moulin Rouge, where the spectacular adopts the technical innovations of the latest in electronic games.

The Italian Plaza

If you have been following this tour, you will now find the Italian area, maybe the most ambitious space, with an extravagant artistic talent where you can breathe an air of romanticism.

The Fountain of Trevi looks fantastic, as if you were looking at the original one in Rome, just built in another place. So you can give yourself the luxury of being the first tourist to throw a coin in the water, a tradition that in the eternal city of Rome realizes the wish of coming back to visit.

Another step and you are now in the divine city of Florence, which reunites so many artistic jewels. Among them, you will find the David of Michel Angelo at the entrance of the luxurious restaurant Danieli. And in no other place you will be able to leave behind the Palazzo Vecchi in Florence and found the floating gondolas of the Venetian canals.
