The Mayan influence still remains very present, especially in the western part of the country where a large community is settled. To appreciate all the art pieces of this civilisation, which is the richest America has ever known, try to go to all the museums in the country. They abound in precious items and immerse visitors in the nation's history, from the first settlers to the colonial period.
