To Iztapa!

Today we went to Iztapa, which is a very small beach town on the West coast of Guatemala. The day on the chicken buses was eventful as always… This time we were sent in the exact oposite direction towards Isapa (not Iztapa) because of miscommunication due to the rushed nature of chicken bus departures. After discovering this we got off of the bus at the next available stop and went back to Antigua to catch a bus in the right direction towards Iztapa.

We arrived in Iztapa just as night fell and were welcomed with thick, humid air and empty streets. We walked 5 minutes to our riverside hostel on the edge of town. One-hundred-fifty quetzales got us one night in a private multi-room beach hut. The hut itself was really nice and cozy. The three main issues were the dense, wet heat, the complete lack of internet (essential for work), and the lack of surf (our main reason for coming). We enjoyed one peaceful night here along the river, and then moved on to Montericco the next day.
