Unfortunately the clouds rolled in and the views were gone.
At 6 am on Monday morning we left and it was a beautiful clear day and en route to the City we saw Volcano Fuega shoot a huge, like two thousand feet in the air a smoke plume which was pretty amazing to see. Took us exactly three hours to get to the Stephans house in the City where his mother made us a delicious breakfast and I fixed my chain guard for the tenth time. I said my fond farewells to my Guatemalan friends and Cisco drove me out of the city and headed for Samuc Champay which was a seven hour drive north. I arrive at 6 pm and probably had the best full day ride so far except for the amount of wrecks I saw and the mini bus in front of me hitting a dog which I had to avoid.
Took me two and a half hours from Cobain to Samuc Champay which is only 67 km cause the road is dirt and rough for 20 km and then I took a wrong turn and was totally out of my league on the road.It was brutal and almost lost the bike four times but made it out unscathed but hot and tired to Utopia Hostel where they don't serve meat, how unhealthy is that........
A lot of dred locks, dope smoking and granola but just in an absolutely stunning area on the river in the jungle.
Was probably the most dramatic scenery I saw today from Lake Atitlan to Samuc and the dirt road was a huge challenge for me, nothing I have ever encountered before .
Adventure Life did an excellent job of planning, organizing and executing a great trip to Argentina. It was nice to have the trip with just the two of us which allowed for a more personable tour with excellent tour guides in all four locations visited. We learned lots of details of the beautiful sites in BA, Mendoza,Baliloche and Iguazu Falls. We want to do another trip with Adventure Life some day.

Kassandra rocks! She had our trip planned and helped us arrange our air travel within the day we contacted her. She has helped us with our trips to Chile Argentina and Costa Rica, and she always finds us wonderful activities and accommodations. We’re looking forward to seeing what she’s planning for us this time when we go to Easter island
