San Andres

Travel Guide

This is my most epic self-portrait, so far:

Contemplating the Milky Way, standing all alone on top of El Henequén—one of the many ancient mayan temples you'll find along the way to El Mirador—surrounded by monkeys, fireflies and an ocean of trees. 

No wonder why our ancestors looked up into the sky and thought of mighty gods.

El Mirador is a relatively unknown archaeological site in Northern Guatemala. It is so isolated, that you have to walk for 5 days through the jungle to visit it.

A paradise for every adventure lover!

No regresaré...
Los baños emanaban malos olores, la ducha tenía mugre, la habitacion fué limpiada con cloro puro antes de nuestra llegada. Se me hace demasiado caro para un servicio estandar

Great place!

Nice hot, not too long walk from the Bolontiku resort. Uphill walk on a path, rough road, then a highway to the town, but then a very steep decline down the lakeside. We took a tuk-tuk back to the resort entrance. Bank in San András.
