The wonders of Guatemala
Our crazy video ever: HERE
Did you miss Belize?
English - אנגלית
We left Belize, and headed west to the mainland. for the next month we won't meet the coastline, and for the next two months not even a Caribbean. Life is tough, no doubt

A short drive and we arrived to the town of Flores, lying peacefully in the center of a lake, in eastern Guatemala

The next day we drove not far from to the most impressive Mayan ruins we've been in Central America 
Tikal 
Motivated to conquer the continent, we proceeded to the center of the state, a wonderful area called lanquin

The are pools located in the Semuc Champey area: 
The local guide takes us on a journey of an hour in a black cave, full of waterfalls, swimming in the spring and the freezing cold water. All of thesis done by candlelight that we'd carried and that barely survived the water

On the way to Antigua the volcanoes of Central America story began. Straight out of the car we saw a slight eruption, or rather volcano burp.
From Antigua continued 3 hours north to Lake Atitlan. there lies the most beautiful area in all our travels, combined with the smiling locals and the ridicules prices (soon to be explained)- we found our place for the next two weeks

Four volcanoes surrounding the lake, you can kayak or take a boat taxi across to the other wonderful towns in the Lake
Michal and Idan found themselves at a condolence tent and didn't understand why the son of the deceased will not accept money for their food.

מיכל ועידן נקלענו ללא ידיעתם לסוכת אבלים ולא הבינו למה בנו של הנפטר לא מוכן לקבל מהם כסף על האוכל שהגיש להם בלי שביקשו

We also decided to try a local market, and we took a Chicken bus to new Year's celebrations in the cultural center of the Atitlan region- chichicastenango

We've reached the central market of the city. Without a doubt the biggest market we have seen in our life

Two square miles of colourful stalls, the New Year celebrations, thousands of fireworks and firecrackers, parades and the traditional costumes of the Spanish conquers

Countless drunk men (and few women) in the streets

**One of the stories listed above did not happen in reality.
Perhaps this is the story of the arrest. What really happened was our driver got arrested for failure to pay child support. Love Guatemala's treatment for family rights

Coming Soon: El Salvador & Nicaragua
