I rise up this morning to take a test of my true adventureness! Whilst El Retiro boasts a beautiful setting, I regret staying here. They're nice enough to let me store my bag as I stuck 50 quetzales (price of admission to Semuc Champey) in my pocket.... Read more >

Day Fourteen (Nels) We bumped our Antigua getaway up a day, skipping school Friday to leave for Panajachel on the 8:00AM shuttle. I've been wary of these Pana shuttles, because every tourbook warns of bandits on this busy tourist path. I haven't ... Read more >
