Rio Dulce We left Flores to head to Rio Dulce, again as always at the crack of dawn - this time being 8am, early enough for me. We again had private transport with the ever faithful Guatemala resident Mario - sounds as if he is from Italy doesn't it. The public transport is fine in Guatemala I'm s…

... this country never lets me go! It is so densely packed with all kinds of things to do that I´m almost lost why at all I would go anywhere else! Having spent the last three weeks in the selva of Peten and Alta Verapraz, I hardly had a chance to update my friends on where I was and wha…

At 9am after having smoothies in glasses the size of massive soup bowls we headed out on a boat for a tour of the local sights. Our first stop was a bird island where we saw lots of egrets and cormorants. We then headed to a natural hot springs where we went on a tour of a really dark musty cave th…

As we got off the bus in Rio Dulce we were greeted by the usual throngs of people trying to sell us something.  This time is was river taxis to Livingston.  We found some Danish girls who were heading the same way and all jumped into a boat together. The boat ride was absolutely spectacu…

Mexico City and then heading south. Guatamala, Belize, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama and beyond. We´ll see where we get to when we get there.

I decided to go to guatemala to improve my spanish, work as a volunteer and travelling around central america. why guatemala? cause it was the cheapest country and in my opinion the most interesting one.

A very beautiful travel to Guatemala, little bit of Honduras, Belize and little bit of Southern Mexico. I saw great places, enjoyed very funny activities and meeting some very nice people (You are one of them Juan Carlos!)

Some pictures from my trip to Central America.

Latin American culture fascinates me and no where I've been has inspired me more than Guatemala.  Not only is the country endlessly beautiful, but the people I met along the Rio Dulce were immeasurably influential. The amazing thing about the communities that I visited is that they were unden…

After breakfast, Pao and I arranged a trip to Livingston on one of the many launches, round trip for 160Q.  The guide stops a few times on the way to Livingston.  The first stop, the guide cruises by Castillo San Felipe.  I didn’t hear the story behind this castle, so I made on…
