We began our Guatemalan journey by stepping in the temples of the Mayan people...TIKAL. We ventured into the ruins at sunrise and had the whole place to ourselves for several hours. The howler monkeys roared, the toucans fluttered, and the parrots sang.
Next, we gathered our bags and headed south to the jungle in the highlands to discover Samuc Champey. Samuc Champey is a natural wonder that is truly jaw dropping. Turquoise bathes along the river, a great spot to turn the 25 year mark.
Now we reside at a small family run hotel in Coban, one of Guatemala's coffee capitals. Touring plantations and drinking some of the country's finest cafe is the daily routine.
