There is no better way to visualize this country than to see a relief map (model). You get to see the volcanos, the lakes, the coastal plains, and more. This is especially nice after you have visited several places in the country, and then get to review where you went.

This relief map is one of a kind, it give you a good idea abut the country.it is interesting. It was much better when I was younger now it needs repairing, but still nice to visit

I've never seen anything like this. What amazes me most is that it was created without any of the modern technology. Surveyors went out on horseback to gather the data necessary to construct this to-scale replica of the Guatemalan landscape. Wow, the volcanos are HIGH!

Loved seeing topographic map of Guatemala.everyone should go to get a real appreciation of the beauty of this country! Unfortunately paint was faded and it looked a bit run down. Also it needs updating now that Belize is not part of Guatemala.

This is NOT a table-top map. It is huge. One of the impressive parts in that it was created in 1904-1905 and it is to scale - just to realize amount of effort that went into the incredible craftsmanship and details without modern tools. It spans from the Pacific to the Caribbean. It includes parts of adjoining countries: Mexico, Belize, Honduras, and El Salvador. The cities and regions are clearly marked. There are oil wells, Mayan pyramids, docks, rivers, lakes, lagoons, and other landmark indicators.There are plaques, statues, and a museum with a lot of historical information. This is a great place for families or anyone interested in history or culture. While you can walk around it at ground level, there are a couple observation desks.While I was there, it was undergoing maintenance, which is obvious from some of the photos.

The relief map is not only interesting but also filled with history. It gives you a great perspective of Guatemala and it's landscape and my kids had a lot of fun finding the highest peaks and looking for the towns and cities we had visited on our trips as well as those that we where planning to visit. Cities, towns and places of interest are well marked as well as all of the rivers, lakes, mountains and volcanoes. The park is very nice and was filled with flowers when we visited. We visited on a weekday morning and where the only ones there. There was a lot of security and there where also 2 or 3 really nice guides eager to answer questions and explain all about the map's history and the country's geography. We spent about half an hour there and then we crossed the street to the Carrousel park where the kids had fun on the video games and rides, so visiting the Hipodromo turned out to be a great day for the whole family!

From the over look above the relief map we could see the peaks and valleys we had gone through in the trips around Guatemala that we had taken before. Pacaya Panajachel Xela Flores Tikal Reu. And we were able to plan where we haven't been also!

It is a bit surreal,but allows a unique perspective on the layout,since we were going all over the country.

I wasn't quite sure what to say when my host suggested a visit to a "Giant Map." But this map, located near downtown Guatemala City, is found in a pleasant small park and gives a good orientation to the geography of the country. Cities and towns and well known sites are all marked and it gives a good sense of the topography. Worth a short visit. Won't take more than an hour.

We stopped by to see the relief map during our stay. You do have to pay if you are a tourist. I was amazed at the size of it! It really depicts the size of Guatemala and the geographic features well. They were working on redoing parts of it while we were there. There are so many volcanoes in Guatemala!
