San Cristóbal de las Casas (3)
Use photos to record the beauty of the small town of San Cristóbal. Every night from 6:00 to 10:00, many aborigines will neatly fill up the stalls selling handicrafts on the Plaza de la Paz in the city center, and there are stalls selling snacks in front of the Catholic Church. I basically never buy souvenirs,…

San Cristóbal de las Casas (2)
When I joined the city walking tour on the first day, the tour guide recommended two cooking classes, but it felt a bit too commercial and the price was high, probably because of the alcohol included. I don't care what kind of wine I drink, I just want to learn how to cook, so I didn't plan to participate. But while wandering the streets the other day, I came across a small poster about a cooking class in a small shop...

Day trip around San Cristóbal
I signed up for a one-day group to go to the Cañon del Sumidero Canyon. I waited for an hour for the minibus to pick me up. Because I didn’t live in the city center, I was the last one to be picked up. The car was full, only the driver and the co-driver There's one in the middle of the seat. The driver brother looks very festive, with rich facial expressions and body language...

San Cristóbal de las Casas (1)
Leaving Guatemala in the morning, Flores took a minibus from Guatemala to Mexico, and sat for another day. There was a Guatemalan aunt sitting next to her in the car. She was going to see her daughter in Cozumel, Mexico. She told me that her daughter had breast cancer and was about to start chemotherapy. She went to take care of her daughter for a few months. She has to take this car first...

Tikal
Since the temperature here will reach 30 to 40 degrees at noon, and it will usually rain in the afternoon, the local tour guide recommends to report to the group at 4:30 in the morning to visit Tikal, the most famous Mayan ruins in Guatemala. It was once the capital of one of the most powerful states in the ancient Mayan period. The monument here was built in the fourth century BC and was abandoned at the end of the tenth century. The classical period…

I thought there would be a private minibus from Copan to go directly to the place I want to go to in Guatemala, but because there are not enough tourists now, there is no such private car to pick up the job, so I can only take public transportation. So yesterday I spent the whole day on four buses. Fortunately, I didn’t need to wait for the bus in the middle. It took a total of nine hours, and I arrived at the tour at 7 o’clock in the evening…

Copan
During the summer vacation, I originally planned to play Panama and Costa Rica this time, but I didn't expect that the place was small, and all those who were interested in playing for three weeks were finished. After flying to El Salvador ten days ago, I planned to fly directly to Mexico and then fly back to the United States. As a result, other travelers I met at the family hotel suggested that I take the land border crossing to Guatemala and then Mexico...

Santa Ana (2)
As soon as I went out in the morning, I saw three cows wandering around unattended. Then I went to visit the Tazumal pre-Columbian archaeological site about the Mayans. In order to save time when traveling, and there is generally no kitchen, I rarely cook by myself. But I'm tired of eating pupusa these days, and I plan to make Mexican quesa...

Santa Ana (1)
When I went to Guatemala in February at the beginning of the year, I had a layover in El Salvador. I only stayed in the capital, San Salvador, for one day. This time, I planned to visit other places. It was almost four in the afternoon. I took the bus from the airport to the bus station in the south of the city. The language partner I met last time came to pick me up on a motorcycle to the bus station in the west, and then took the bus to the small town of Santa…

Costa Rica (3)
From Monteverde to La Fortuna by minibus, boat, and minibus. I strolled around the city center at noon, asked several tour groups to compare prices, and wrote down the lowest price on a note. The last owner I asked caught up after I left and asked me to show him the note I had written down the price, saying that because…
