Few experiences compare with visiting Guatemala at Easter. Pilgrimages and offerings amaze visitors with their colour and religious fervour. Our itinerary coincides with several of these celebrations, adding the extra dimension we always seek on our travels.

Sometimes they greeted us with smiles; at other times with wise, innocent or curious looks. In every case, their faces have remained etched in our memories and those of our travellers, becoming part of us and ensuring we never forget them.
In their honour, we have put together a collection of images of people we have met on our travel. They are the faces of the human diversity.

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.
