Review & FAQ:
Known to some as Quetzaltenango's Central Park, the Parque Centro America is the cultural heart of Guatemala's second largest city. Most of the garden was designed in the 1800s by the Italian architect Alberto Porta; before the 1930s, the space consisted of two separate gardens that were eventually merged to create a large, oblong shape.
In addition to admiring the park's distinctive central pillar, visitors can enjoy the well-maintained walking trails and the beautifully landscaped grounds. The park is worth a visit in and of itself, but it has the added bonus of being surrounded by most of the city's main attractions.
