Guatemala Pt. 3

Welcome to the third and final installment of the Guatemala trilogy.

This is what we woke up to at our second campsite. We camped at Holmul, an unexcavated Mayan city. These cities are a dime a dozen and unfortunately the Guatemalan government doesn't have the funds to dig these up. Mexico has realized the tourism potential of these cities. Holmul was full of mounds like one pictured below, which are actually buried Mayan structures.

The Jeep. This is what I usually sleep in. The roof tent is unfolded in this shot.

My father found it particularly amusing to have me stand next to this Help Wanted sign, which was found in the middle of the jungle, miles away from anywhere.

Boats cruising on Lake Peten.
A shot of Isla Flores.
This concludes Guatemala.
