There are many lakes in the world, formed by a wide variety of geological processes and forces within the earth. What distinguishes many of them is the life that thrives around them in all its forms, from unspoilt nature to human activity. Water is life.
Guatemala is a country that, despite its small size, is rich in history, culture and a variety of landscapes hard to find elsewhere. Its scenery combines tropical forests, lakes and volcanoes to create Dream images, alongside its colourful indigenous markets and Mayan ruins.
In this post, we hope to inspire you with Instagram images showing places we visit on our routes through Guatemala so that you can picture yourselves, even for a moment, in this wonderful country.
We set off from Manaus, capital of the state of Amazonas, and travel up the Rio Negro towards the area between the Cueiras and Apuaú rivers. It is on these tributaries that we will have a truly intimate, immersive jungle experience, something difficult to achieve on the vast Amazon that runs further downstream, always with more boat traffic and a larger population.
On our expedition, we will travel with guide Enric Marsà, who has lived in the area for more than 20 years and knows the terrain extremely well.
Today we speak to our colleague Ana, who will explain details of her recent trip to Peru. She visited the country on a scouting trip to discover new locations and returned thoroughly pleased with the experience. In the interview below, we ask her about her impressions, and she reveals details of the trip and some of its distinctive features.
