Volcanoes are the most distinctive feature — Acatenango, Fuego (often erupting), Santa María
Indigenous Mayan culture visible everywhere — colorful textiles (huipiles), Mayan language signs
Spanish with occasional Mayan language (K'iche', Q'eqchi') on community signs
Colonial Spanish architecture in Antigua Guatemala (pastel facades, cobblestones)
Very similar to Honduras/El Salvador — look for the volcanos and Mayan cultural references

Guatemala drives on the right side of the road. In-game, the Google camera car is on the right side — so oncoming traffic comes from the left. This is the norm for most of Europe, the Americas, and continental Asia.
Guatemala was the heart of the ancient Maya civilization — Tikal was one of the largest cities on Earth in 900 AD, with 100,000 inhabitants. The country has 37 volcanoes, three of which are currently active.
