Guatemala

“I got up early due to excitement and jetlag and experienced my first taste of a rainforest by walking up to Cerro de la Cruz which was beautiful. Also visited a coffee farm which as a huge coffee fan was a cool moment. Tried chilling in the plaza in the middle of town but would get bothered by people selling stuff too often to really relax. Tried to find a bar or something but it was quite early and everywhere was empty, went back to the Airbnb early. Next morning I set off to do the Acatenango hike I did with Tropicana Hostel, it was a fairly young group of 20 or so. Was a nice group or people, and chatting helped ease the difficulty. The hike was genuinely incredible and got to see the lava erupt, the accommodation was super basic with everyone crammed in sleeping in a row but didn’t mind. Did the extra fuego hike at 3am with a couple other people on the tour, I may have underestimated how hard/exhausting this would be but did make it.”
