All things come in time. The remote province of Ratanakiri in the country’s northeast has finally opened to visitors. Some of Southeast Asia’s least-known ethnic minorities await us, along with virtually unexplored natural areas. Spectacular landscapes with huge rivers, lakes and waterfalls, diamond mines and villages whose way of life would delight any anthropologist.

Dani S., our man in Cambodia, shares his reasons for travelling there.

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.
