The relief map is a unique monument built on 1905. It shows all the topography of the country.
Mapa en Relieve Venture through Parque Minerva (just a quick walk from Parque Central) to catch a glimpse of this gigantic open-air topographical map of Guatemala. It is at a staggering 1:10,000 scale, with exaggerated vertical volcanic peaks and mountaintops to appear dramatically higher and precipitous than they truly are. Constructed in 1905 under Fransisco Vela, the map was fully repainted and restored in 1999 and viewing towers were constructed to provide panoramic observation. Although a small fee is requested, the public claims it’s worth the price especially to play “spot Belize”, as the map still represents it as a part of the country. A great spot for kids, or a good place to start your Guatemalan adventure, the relief map is a fascinating site to help give you the lay of the land, and especially recommended for those interested in cartography of any sort.

The Relief Map of Guatemala (in Spanish: Mapa en Relieve de Guatemala) is a huge relief map of Guatemala erected at ground level on an approximate surface of 1,800 square meters inaugurated in 1905. It is unique and the only of its kind. It is considered a jewel and was declared National Cultural Patrimony in 1998. Great attraction for both nationals and visitors. The Relief Map has been remodeled twice: in 1980 by the Guatemalan Tourism Institute and with the collaboration of the Municipality of Guatemala City, and in 2014 by the Municipality of Guatemala City.
