The Quetzaltenango and highlands area, which is specially rich in forests, preserve some of the most delicate ecosystems in the country. The indian population, has been since centuries ago, owner of a "cosmovition" that helped them to live in harmony with mother nature. Has been only since the second half of the XX century, that the gradual loss of the traditional values, that "mother earth" have begun to be used in the "white man" way.
Visitors can, however, enjoy sights of mountains covered with forests, fresh air and healthy ecosystems in most of the area.
