The past three days I’ve spent in the village of San Pedro La Laguna, located on Lake Atitlán, about two hours north of Antigua. The nature here is absolutely stunning. The view from my hotel room is of a large idyllic lake, a majestic mountain range, and two giant volcanoes stretching toward the sky on either side of the lake.
I have spent a few days in Antigua now. Antigua is a charming old colonial town where characteristic small adobe houses, each painted in a different color, are packed closely together. The town is surrounded by three volcanoes, each between 2,500 and 4,000 meters high, and they can be seen from anywhere in the city.
Hi everyone. On the way from Flores to Antigua, we stopped in Semuc Champey, which is located a two-hour drive from Cobán, in the heart of Guatemala. I had an active day here, where we hiked, climbed, and swam through an underground maze of caves. The caves are partially filled with water, so you have to climb, lower yourself up and down, and sometimes swim to get through.
Flores is a town located on a tiny island in Lake Petén It’s really beautiful here, and the conditions are perfect for swimming in freshwater. Today I visited Tikal, which is an incredibly impressive collection of Mayan ruins located deep in the jungle.
