Visual Adventure: Central America

This February I had the pleasure of traveling with G Adventures on their inaugural Mayan Ruins and Culture tour. It took us through El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala where we were able to visit many of the sites in the heartland of the former Mayan empire. We visited four Mayan ruins: Joya de Cerén, Copan, Quirigua and Tikal, each of which are UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

In addition to the Mayan ruins, the tour also explored Lake Suchitoto in El Salvador as well as Rio Dulce and Lake Atitlan in Guatemala. We also were able to taste many El Salvadoran pupusas, observe how they locally produce indigo and witness a Mayan tree planting ceremony.

With the exception of one short flight, the entire from Flores to Guatemala City, the entire experience was done over land. I hope you enjoy viewing the photos as much as I did taking them.
