A Quest For Culture, Cuisine, And Connection.

Around The World On A Motorcycle | The Journey Continues

Lago de Atilan, Guatemala.

I’d read about it in the guidebooks. Nearly everyone who’d been to Guatemala raved about it yet arriving in the dark last night I had no idea until I woke the next morning and gazed over this beautiful lake flanked by three ominous volcanoes.
