Flores is one of many little gorgeous little towns on the edge of a lake. There are many cobbled little lanes here off main streets and some of the houses here are very colourful. Today I visited a Maya ancient ruin site called Tekal which is located ... Read more >

The journey, the suspicious immigration officials, and PS - this movie sucks

Wed, 21 May 2008 | By irish-rover | Views [475] | Comments [2]

My flight here was both more straightforward and and more stressful than I had expected. I anticipated delayed flights and missed connections (concerns that never actually materialized). I did not, however, expect to be interrogated about my travel plans ... Read more >

Coban

Tue, 20 May 2008 | By carolwil | Views [705]

Coban is a pretty little city with the cathedral and plaza in the centre (the Spanish liked to do this!!). Today I went on a tour and visited a place called Chimpey which is a group of beautiful lagoons surrounded by rainforest. We did a long walk up ... Read more >

Flores and Tikal

Thu, 15 May 2008 | By all_powered_up | Views [1784]

I opted for a flight from Guatemala city to Flores - i didn't fancy the 10 - 12 hours on the bus this time.  As i step off the plane the heat slams into me - 90+F and the humidity to match.  I will now sweat non-stop for the next 2 days, I've become ... Read more >
