The two guides we used, Hugo Lemus and Melvin (at Flores) were excellent. At Santiago de Atitlan, Hugo took us to meet a native family at their home; it was a marvelous experience. Melvin had to work very hard to get us safely to and from the Mayan site at Aguateca. The footing was treacherous because of the rain and mud and the hills were steep. Some of our group had to be helped nearly every step.

This trip combined so many things that at times it was overwhelming. The scenery was stunning. The old colonial city was fascinating. The present day life and customs of the indigenous people was at times both uplifting and depressing. The backwoods experience was not to be missed. The Mayan sites were awe inspiring. What a trip!
