Guatemala 2019
Period: 19.1. – 9.2.2019
We always wanted to explore the rich biodiversity in Central America and to see the monuments from the Pre-Columbian era. Not to mention swimming in the Pacific Ocean… At the end we decided to visit Guatemala and we spent three marvellous weeks there.
Highlights of the trip:
- Antigua – former capital and picturesque city
- Pacaya – hummingbird paradise under an active volcano
- Lago de Atitlán – quetzal paradise amidst volcanos
- Acatenango – ascent to the stratovolcano with erupting El Fuego in sight
- Monterrico – bird paradise and swimming in the Pacific Ocean
- Río Dulce – close encounter with manatees
- Tikal – famous Mayan city hidden in the forest
- Yaxhá – ruins of the ancient Mayan city
