Guatemala one of the most underrated country

I spent and amazing 2 weeks in Guatemala. We landed in the capital Guatemala City and only stayed a night there. This is the only capital I’ve ever come across with no positive comments even from the locals. Next morning we took a 45 mins taxi ride to Antigua. A charming colonial town and one of the most beautiful communities in Latin America. Stayed a few nights and from there went to the so called most beautiful lake in the world Lake Antigua. There are many different towns in Lake Antigua and each one has their own unique style but one thing all they have in common is the surrounded by the beautiful lake Atitlan and volcanos. We first did the easier hike to volcano pacaya which took around 3 hours. Rested a few days and challenged another volcanos which is rated as top 10 volcanos in the world, and the no7 most difficult volcano hikes. Volcano Acatenango. Our private tour which cost around 500q (60usd) per person started at 10pm and we finished at 11am. It was the most challenging thing I’ve ever done but once you get to the summit and see that sunrise everything felt worth it. I highly recommend Guatemala. I’m currently on a one year vacation in Latin America and already been in this continent for 8 months. Guatemala is my 9th country in Latin America and it’s definitely one of my favourite after Argentina #guatemala #antigua #lakeatitlan #Volcano

Great Hotel in Zona 13

#fallishere Hotel review : InterContinental Real Guatemala One of the best hotels I’ve stayed at in Latin America. The staff was super friendly. The room including bed and pillows were very comfortable. The gym is open 24 hours and has a nice selection. There is also a great pool, sauna, and jacuzzi. There’s no AC in the gym and the jacuzzi doesn’t get super hot but these are minor things. This hotel is stellar! Highly recommend

Guatemalan trip. Had a great time
