"Chicken Busing Guatemala" Guatemala by darthmilmo

Guatemala Travel Guide: 2,953 reviews and 8,461 photos

Ah, Guatemala… This is an amazing place. The folks in the highlands still wear traditional Mayan clothes (even the males). I traveled for 7 months through Latin America, including Peru and Bolivia; yet, I have to say that this is the most culturally preserved country. The other kewl thing about Guate is the chicken bus. They are so kewl! You ride a revamp school bus from city to city…jejeje. Just make sure you live the fancy gringo tours behind and explore this amazing country by yourself.

Oh, I’ve posted my travelogue in here along with several tips. Oh, don't miss the pics in the travelogue section! For even more detail, visit each of the individual Guatemala locations i've created.

If the folks at Vt saw your travelogues they wouldn't treat travelogues like the crazy aunt in the basement.
