Now for the BEACH! we set out from Antigua in a pleasant 24, but as we drove closer to the coast it was 35 degrees. The ride here is nice and with very few of the dreaded tope. You pay a 5Q toll to cross the bridge over the canal in the mangroves ...

Wet n’ Wild in Guatemala
We’ve been in Guatemala for 5 days now and it’s been nothing short of adventure. It’s captivated our attention from the get go. Crossing the border took 2 dreadfully long hours, not because it was difficult but because it was so grossly ineffici...

Panajachel guatemala
After 6 months on the road we needed a little down time and we decided upon Panajachel, Guatemala on Lake Atitlan. It’s only 177 km from the Mexican border, but the drive took us about 5 hours. The first section of the “highway” near the border is...
