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!

The staff were amazing, they anticipate your needs before you even get chance to ask for anything. The food was delicious and the portions were generous. Some days it felt like we were the the only guests there. :)
