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
