Lake, Steak and 3 Smoking Volcanos
This is a top pick! ... movies every night, and usually good ones. * Footnote about the Mayan Culture. There are over 22 different Mayan Languages in Guatemala alone. One would assume the languages are similar, but in reality only a few are. The languages can be very varied, ...
Chicken buses, pinatas and speaking Mayan
This is a top pick! After our stay at Rio Dulce, we made our way to Antigua via Guatemala City. I still contend that the best thing about Guatemala City is leaving it for Antigua. It's a little harsh but when you see what a convenience store looks like here, you can see what ...
Panajachel
Tracy here. We have been in Panajachel (aka Pana) on the shore of Lake Atitlan in the south west of Guatemala. The lake boasts several volcanoes and a few pueblos that can be visited in a short boat ride from our base. We have been ...
From La Antigua to Panajchel
... on the photographs attached: - Mexican prayers: we found a small market selling all sorts of handicrafts in La Antigua Guatemala. They were selling metal signs painted by hand with prayers which people dedicated to Saints and Virgins thanking them for ...
Lake Atitlan
... on Fran's part, and a stress-free and pleasurable time was had! We started pretty early - catching a 7.45 bus bound for Guatemala City. The same road and spots that had been the cause of so much worry breezed past without so much as a stomach ...
Judith´s theorum of Guatemalan Transport
... has innured them against this aspect of the faith of the Conquistadors). I think the erratic transport system reflects a lot of what Guatemala has been about for me - some great experiences, some not so great. Highpoints have been Tikal, the cruise ...
GUATEMALA; SANTA CRUZ; loud americans.....
We moved again today.... Across the lake to a a small but sweet place called Iguana Perida in Santa Cruz.... We instantly felt at home... It was an english speaking hotel aimed at travellers, but it was not aimed in the same way as in San Pedro... We ...
Hungover in the Highlands
I took a two day side trip from Antigua, into the Guatemalan highlands. First stop was Panajachel, a hippy hangout from the 60's perched on the shore of Lake Atitlan, below three massive volcanos. The view on the descent into the town was amazing, and ...
An Epic Trek from Xela to Lago Atitlan
... . I do enjoy hiking. But do I really enjoy it enough to do it for 3 days straight, in the middle of nowhere Guatemala? However, the more I thought about it the more the idea grew on me to the point that when it came between cutting the trek from our ...
the infamous markets at Chichicastenango
We were meant to go to Panajachel on the chicken bus but a guy on a previous trip was robbed so we had our own mini-van. A few of us went to the bagel/brekky place across the road from our hotel for a quick bite before we all met just before 9am. We ...
Global Family Dining...
... . And, most of these goods are all wrapped in the local woven cloth, making for such a pretty pic! We returned back to Jaibalito around 4:30pm. We sat in our little wooden chairs overlooking the water and had a glass of wine. I read my book, and ...
a day in Pana complete with a chiropractic massage
We had set our alarms for 730am as brekky was at ocho (eight!). We didn't have showers as there were huge buckets full of water sitting in there so a quick face wash it was. In the kitchen we offered our help but go a lot of no no no's so Lucy and I sat ...
Our night in luxury
Today we came across to la Casa Del Mundo – for our one expensive night ($34… but considering what that'd get you in England this place is definitely worth it!!!) Next to the village of Jabilito it is truly a slice of heaven on earth (apart ...
Sweet, Sweet Serenity
... of a 5 AM wake up, a boat ride to the nearby town of Panajachel where we would catch a mini bus for a 2 1/2 hour ride to Guatemala City and from there a 5 hour Tica Bus ride to San Salvador. The only problem was, that none of it was planned yet, so ...
El Lago de Atitlan
... most pleasant with a packed van of young partiers headed towards the bohemian town of San Pedro la Laguna from Antigua. Guatemala is an incredibly mountainous country with many active volcanoes. While places may look close on a map, driving often ...
Homestay
Yesterday the tour group left early from Antigua to take a series of chicken buses to the next destination: San Jorge La Laguna. At San Jorge we would be divided up into pairs and sent to stay with local indigenous families, sharing meals and using ...
