This was my first time in this country, and I loved it from the moment I entered the country. Going from the lush northern areas with the many archeological sites and driving through crazy mountain ranges and then going south to the volcanoes and many of the cities such as Antigua with their Spanish influences. The country has everything you could hope for, deep traditions, beautiful people, amazing food and gorgeous vistas. The country’s roads are not too bad, the security is tight in most hospices, and the people are amazing. The food is also a highlight with the many varieties depending on your location. My favorite memories all stem from the times I spent with local people and their amazing sense of purpose from working hard, cherishing education and valuing family and self-worth. It is a country I will definitely return to one day and my hope is I can discover more.
Getting across this border on my motorbike into El Salvador was supposed to me a nice riding day in the gorgeous sunshine. I headed for the Terrestre Las Chinamas border crossing at first light. I chose this border because it was supposed to be not as busy.
My trip today takes me from Antigua, Guatemala to the Antigua, Guatemala to Pacaya Volcano, near Guatemala City. I basically had the idea of riding up as close to the volcano as possible, unfortunately, the clouds came over and I didn’t have a chance to get closer.
My trip today to Antigua, Guatemala took me on a long but brilliant journey starting in Flores, a region which I had a great time. Today, I speak about my cameras and set up including the Drift Ghost-S and the Olympus Tough TG Tracker, Samsung Gear 360 and of the course my GoPro, coupled with my AirDog Drone.
As I left for Chetumal from Ciudad del Carmen it was with some sadness, knowing that this would be my last long riding day in Mexico. I had fallen in love with just about everything related to this country, the people, communities, food and spirit of Mexico. Yes, I had seen all the news articles, been mocked by friends saying that my head would be separated from my body and all that stuff.
After one soaked night in Belize to was time to head to Flores, Guatemala, I awoke to a nice sunny day at the Lower Dover Field Station & Jungle Lodge, Belize and the host Madeline took me and two other guests o a little excursion through some of the ruins on their property.
