Guatemala
















I have been in Guatemala for a week. I don't have time to write too much but it has been lots of fun so far.
I started in the north east side of the country. Stayed in a town called El Remate which is a very quite place of a huge lake with perfect views of the sunset every day. It is next to Tikal which was a huge Mayan City that was the home to over 120,000 people around 1000 AD.
From there I travelled to Lanquin which is near Semuc Champey. I stayed at this place called El Retiro which is a hostel just outside of this very small town. There are a bunch of cabanas overlooking a river abd rolling hills with travellers from everywhere. They have a huge dinner every night and a bar that stays open pretty late. Its kind of like summer camp for adults. You go hiking and swimming all day and eat and drink all night. Pretty weird to stumble across a place like that in such small town.

In Antigua right now.
