Guatemala City

DAY ONE Our flight on TACA airlines to Guatemala was very good. We touched down in San Salvador for half of an hour and then took a half hour flight to Guatemala City. We were met by a taxi driver who gave us a little tour, in slow Spanish, on the way to the hotel. Our little hotel, Posada Belen Hotel Museo, was a good choice. It is located very close to the Centre of the city and in a quiet spot. The owners were a wonderful help and the staff was very kind. We were able to eat breakfast and ...

San Pedro de la Laguna, Lago de Atitlan

Hi guys, We noticed a little late that the previous map pin was placed in the wrong place but just know that Guatemal City is not that far away from LAke Atitlan where we are presently staying. Yesterday, the owner of the Belen Inn, arranged a shuttle van for us to travel to Antigua. The shuttle picked us up right at the front door and after picking up another Canadian and a local, we were off - out of the city and into the country. The ride was short, about 1 1/2 hours and uneventful. We arr...

Starting our journey at 7am, we made a long haul from Monterrico (boat, chicken bus, chicken bus, wrong local bus, correct local bus, chicken bus) to Chichicastenango that afternoon. We went via the capital Guatemala City, and changing buses was enough time spent there for us. Expecting Chichi to be crowded in preparation for the famous Sunday market the next morning, we made reservations at Hotel Belen, but were the first and nearly the only people to check in, getting a top floor room with ...

The fascinating market at Chichicastenango

Wednesday involved a pretty long journey down from Todos Santos to Chichicastenango. We caught a very early morning chicken bus from Todos Santos to the crossroads at Chiantla & then a connecting bus on to Sacapulas , where we took the opportunity for a quick look around the little village , gentle river (with its scarily unstable looking road bridge) , tiny plaza , church (which was being restored) and the pleasant "convento" (where the church services were being held during the restorat...

Hola queridos! Mieux vaut tard que jamais.. voici quelques photos et commentaires sur notre aventures a Chichicastenango. Tout d"abord, je me dois de vous parler un peu de la facon dont nous nous commes rendus. En bus du peuple. INCROYABLE que je n"ais pas vomi. HA ha. Non sans blague, ces beaux autobus savamment colores sont conduits par des chauffeurs malades mentaux qui, du moins sur la route de Chichi, particulierement tortueuse, sont convaincus que, s"ils entament un depassement dans une...

There are also lots of pretty churches in Antigua which we explored a bit before retreating from the rain to play cards and drink beer in a hammock – It’s a hard life.

In the evening we had some more beer at a bar overlooking some ruins and grabbed a quick Mexican style food before getting the 6:30 bus back to Guatemala city from where we caught an overnight bus to Flores.

The bus wasn’t overly nice – it smelt and ...

... but it took them a long time to serve us all. Afterwards some of headed to the local market to do some shopping before going to the grocery store to buy things to grill out at the house. I have noticed that almost every single country we go to has an open air market in the city center and Antigua was set up no different than Morocco, Namibia, South Africa, India, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, and China's marketplaces. The only thing that changes in the ...

Leaving a paradise headed back to the city

Took the boat taxi from Caye Caulker, to the terminal, to catch a bus to Flores, which meant crossing back into Guatemala from the Belize border. Slight hitch when we discovered it was more expensive coming than going. Finally made it back to flores to catch a quick taxi to the airport to fly back to Guate City. Then taxing back to Antigua. Yes, all in one day.

... that bad. It certainly left some beautiful buildings. I did have one unfortunate incident at the cathedral. There were loads of people going in, so I thought Id join them. Iīd forgotten it was Sunday. Unfortunately they shut and locked the doors after me. I had to endure a highly religious ceremony / rant for an hour. In Spanish. The preacher was very passionate, but I didnt understand a word. It didnīt matter though ...

Easygoing Antigua

... here, I took an afternoon tour to see some lava. I was not disappointed! After a long, hard trek up the volcano, made only slightly worse by the group of "taxi" horses that follow the groups up, with their riders constantly asking, just when you are at your most winded, "wouldnīt the senora like a ride up the rest of the way?" I was determined to make the trek on my own though, figuring the skinny horses ...
