Una pandilla de mochileros Tuve que salir rapidamente de Guatemala City, los festines de varios tenedores a la hora de comer y cenar estaban desvalijando mis arcas, y la verdad es que cansaba un poco la jaula de oro. Asi que me subi a un autobus a Quetzaltenango ... Read more >

We arrived in Palenque last night and took a cab to a town called El Pachan. More of a piece of jungle annexed by the EU really, there are hammocks for rent, bungalows, and the kind of bugs you see on PBS.  But mostly, it´s a bunch of europeans camping ... Read more >

Chiapas Chiapas ha sido el lugar de Mexico con la gente mas simpatica. Entramos a la capital Tuxtla Gutierrez, de noche, con la mosca detras de la oreja pues Chiapas nos hace pensar en revolucion zapatista y pobreza. Precavidos nos movimos, buscamos ... Read more >
