Guatemala

by jio - last update: Apr 23, 2006

Lush green rainforests and heavenly isolation describe Guatamala. Although a very compact country, journey times remain long, ardeous and awakening, especially by shante bus, which remains the main artery of travel throughout the region. The travel is tough going, yet allow for riches that such an effort brings and an array of wild life sleeps under the jungle canopy. Troops of spiders and monkeys, parrots, jaguar, puma and other animals, many rare and endangered await to welcolme you, as do many different types of rainforest trees. The Ceiba, a tree sacred to the Maya, zapotes, from which chewing gum is derived and also mahogany. From the ancient mayan cities of Tikaal and Copan to the river community of Livingston on the east coast, this third world country echos rich in exploration possibilites. Not enough?
