Alpha Kappa Alpha Zeta Upsilon

TULUM


After the short video that we posted in advance, try to summarize the best we passed by Guatemala Guatebuena ..... or rather, because the truth is coming out.



















arrived in Guatemala City from the "rare" Managua and we are an advanced city, modern and rather more rich than we expected, but we went straight to Antigua, the ancient capital of Guatemala, a colonial city of Cartagena and Cuzco, full of guiris learning English. We spent a few days walking through its beautiful streets, the market and lots of churches and convents.



















A city surrounded by volcanoes, some as you have seen in the video, active, and quite incidentally, as the Pacaya ....... all a show worth seeing, and also was lucky because it rained almost every days, but the day we went to see his barracks gave us erupt, so, as it sounds ...... but the sound sounded alone cuKUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUM .......... ...... such as rocks colliding. ufffff .... ... when we had a view we could see the lava from the summit farewell .... and we got closer and closer ........ ..... rivers of lava that hot! !!!!!!! as 50 or 60 degrees ... unbearable .... people had marshmellows ... yes, that nasty eating marshmallows ..... the Yankees are called in English ... and they made it with a stick up Lava .... amazing !!!!!!! jejejej
The sunset from the Pacaya ...

















From Antigua we went to Lake Atitlan, Panajachel and we went through we went to San Pedro, a village on the lake where we spent another few days and met most people, you could not go out and buy the bread because it takes about 3 hours of all the people you met along the way ... and the neighborhood seemed a little, because although you would not want to go out at night you came to seek colleagues and I drew the hair from there.




















good thing about this last part of the trip being that we are interacting mostly with locals, so you learn much more from the country and their customs .. ... it is incredible that only nice people .... to see if you are really roll this karma?



















After a few days on the lake, it was time to leave. on .... the road again, as the song ....... and Chichicastenango, a town famous for its huge craft market where we bought a few goodies, before I knew that we had no money of course ...... almost a whole day of bargaining as it is .... ........ 300 uuhhhhhh lady ?..... no no let's go to expensive ...... 200 ....... naaaaaaaa let it not matter .. 50 !........ come ....... ok I'll take it !........ and so all day, the truth a little tiring, but we took some great pictures hidden the crowd .... cowards!





















One Travel nicest things ..............

De Chichi went to Semuc Champey, as we said it was the most beautiful of Guatemala (because they had not seen the girl in the photo of course), and the truth was not bad, but neither was ara both. A natural rock bridge 300 meters long formed the basis of river erosion and now passes below it, leaving a turquoise swimming pools where a dip and the field pateillo .....
























With nothing more to do or what to do there, we headed to Flores, an island in another lake, this time Peten Itza, and near the ruins of Tikal, and here was where we discovered the little money we had left and then ........ I get the panic we are going to do, then go home, tickets ewros uffffff 1500 ... well, that you count on Tikal and then return to the topic.



Tikal, the largest Mayan ceremonial center found waiting for us, as the Mirador, another site discovered recently and which is reached after 2 days walking through the jungle we had a bit out of budget and unfortunately we could not go ...... a sour feeling that we step dulce de Tikal, hidden in the middle of the jungle, with howler monkeys at hand, spider monkeys, toucans, coatis, snakes and a thousand different bugs making noise around you.



arrived there in the afternoon because the input for two days was worth if you entered from the 4 ..... so there we store for camping and we went to visit the ruins that closed at 6 ..... from at 5:30 there was naaaadie there .... you could feel the magic of the place, alone in the large square, these two temples facing each other ufff, monkeys with their howling, finally .... without words. There we stayed until they came to us out and we went to rest because the next day had to wake up at 4 to see the sunrise on top of a temple monkeys .... again with the refrain, only this time were right next us, we felt like gorillas in the mist, of course, that the fog did not see the sunrise ....... but the monkey was too much, you can not everything in life, no?.


















And so we spent all day touring the ruins and returned to Florida without knowing what we were going to do next .... first, our plan was to run through Chiapas in Mexico and then go to Yucatan because we have to return from Cancun, but having less money than one who was taking a shower we decided to go to Yucatan to see if we can find a job to stay a little more and not abuse of parental support us so well this coming, but that made us feel a little bad in some way ........ but we have no money to buy a return ticket !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that irresponsibility but hey .... Total

that to go through Belize Yucatan ..... the bus where only by passing the bastards (sorry) they charged us $ 30 each !!!!! that it was the last straw ..... and when we got to Mexico, on the same bus station we decided to come to Tulum, supposedly the meeting place for backpackers in the area recariiiisimo ............ all with what we got the budget to stay camped on the beach with the store and with the hammock and desperately need a job ....... you listen carefully as things are, here was !!!!!!! sell again dives and snorkel, only this time if that works 2 days !!!!!!... and we wanted to work 5 hours a day in exchange for room and breakfast very handsome in a hostel here in Tulum, where we have worked on the first day !!!!!!, so from the craft, the snorkels and the hostel and we have no volveeeeeeer !!!!!!!.... . well, do not be frightened family, which again if we return, but only after enjoying the beach and know Chiapas amazing !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I queremosssssss
