We went for a trek up Volcan Santa Maria the other with my Spanish school in Xela. Santa Maria is a volcano with an altitude of 3768m above see level at the top and it was definitely one of the most impressive hikes that I´ve done. Santa Maria itself ... Read more >

Been too busy to keep up! I'm almost a week behind now. We had a nice, but short, stay in Antigua, which is a beautiful colonial city, and much more affluent than the areas we've been to so far. On some great advice from neighbors Leif and Cilla, we treated ... Read more >
