La Aurora Zoo houses native species in surprisingly natural habitats. The Central Market buzzes with local life, where vendors sell everything from textiles to tamales. History buffs shouldn't miss Kaminaljuyu's pre-Columbian ruins or the grand Palacio Nacional de la Cultura with its impressive murals.
