... tours and shuttles with this chatty tour guide with big promises and a big sense of urgency. The next day at 4:30 AM we’re all aboard yet another bus and en route to Tikal- the ancient holy site of Mayan civilization. Our time in Tikal was magical.

I had eavesdropped on an Israeli guy telling a Spaniard the night before that there had been 8 robberies on Tikal shuttle buses recently so every time the bus slowed down I felt a bit anxious and considered stashing my iPhone down my pants but I needn't have worried. I didn't have my passport on me because for some reason this hostel keeps ...
