Guatemala

Of all the countries in Central America, Guatemala is probably of the most interest to the traveller. It has the most diverse range of ethnic groups within a tiny geographic area, many of which maintain their traditional ways of life, and modes of dress.

If only the security and safety factors were higher on the agenda - along with the dreadful transportation system! - then tourism as an industry could bring in the tourist dollars to a cash-strapped nation, much in need of support.

Guatemala Tales: Mugged...again |

Mugged...again

I turned the corner and took a few steps, and immediately got a very bad feeling. Call it instinct, sixth sense or what you will, but it exists, and felt it coursing through my blood like a pressure-cooker about to blow. I could hear nothing, I could see nothing, but by God I knew something was very wrong. I very nearly turned around, but had a very real fear of turning my back. - read this tale
