Lake Atitlan

Most every city, town and country side out side of Guatemala City is abundantly green. Lake Atitlán is located in the high mountains so our drive from Guatemala City to the lake was a beautiful. The higher up we got the more agriculture fields we saw. When we were in Antigua we were wondering...

The Final Challenge

Well Night One of sleeping in the van did NOT work out so great. We started by trying to find a safe and quiet street to park on. In our past four days in Antigua we agreed this is a nice, family community town and we would have no problems sleeping on the street. We draped up sheets around all...

Guatemala City

Nine hours later, about 7 AM, we made it to Guatemala City with no other problems (besides the lack of sleep).

Pacaya Volcano

The BEST Adventure YET!!! It is hard to believe the amazing experience we just had. It was an afternoon tour to Volcán Pacaya (2552 m); the only active volcano near Antigua in San Francisco de Sales. There was a group of 14 us that the driver picked up from Antigua. When we arrived at the small...
