Guatemala's Parks & Recreation
Guatemala’s recreational spaces range from historic urban squares like Plaza de la Constitución and Antigua’s Central Park to the expansive IRTRA complexes in Retalhuleu. The IRTRA parks—Xetulul, Xocomil, and Xejuyup—feature architecture inspired by Mayan and European landmarks alongside extensive water slides and amusement rides.
