San Andres

Travel Guide

This is my most epic self-portrait, so far:

Contemplating the Milky Way, standing all alone on top of El Henequén—one of the many ancient mayan temples you'll find along the way to El Mirador—surrounded by monkeys, fireflies and an ocean of trees. 

No wonder why our ancestors looked up into the sky and thought of mighty gods.

El Mirador is a relatively unknown archaeological site in Northern Guatemala. It is so isolated, that you have to walk for 5 days through the jungle to visit it.

A paradise for every adventure lover!

Great stay. Rooms were comfortable and the activities at the hotel are very cool. The rooms probably need a facelift. I've been coming for many years and they still look the same

I absolutely loved the location of the cabin. The view from the terrace was mesmerizing, a very quiet and peaceful atmosphere. The lake was just a few steps away from our rooms.
