Tonalá

Hitchhiking to Tonalá was bit harder, because of the situation with refugees, there are many people trying to get to USA from all South America, especially Venezuela. We saw a big groups of people walking by the road also trying to hitchhike sometimes.
Few times even happend to us that some people stopped wanting to give us some money.
In the end we got safely to Tonalá where we had a great host Dzoara. We had really nice conversations even though we had to comunicate in Spanish.Meer informatie

San Marco is village known for its hippie vibes. There are many yoga hostels, shops with natural cosmetic, vegan restaurants and many hippies.

Acatenango
6 oktober 2022, Guatemala ⋅ 🌧 17 °C
Hiking on the volcano Acatenango was so far one of the best experiences we had here. We woke up in the morning and hitchhiked to the village Soledad, we waited for Tiffany and Erwan who had some troubles on the way. Around 11:30 we started walking up. Most of the other people was walking with a guide. It was definitely manageable without as the way was very clear.
Around 16 we got to the basecamp where we build our tent. Most of the time it was quite foggy there but as we got up, we got a beautiful view and the Volcan fuego and Aqua and all the villages around.
In the evening we made a "small" hike to the volcan fuego, which was much harder then expected, but we got a beautiful view on the volcano flushing lava every 20 minutes.
In the morning we woke up around 4a.m. to hike up to Acatenango to see the sunrise. Unfortunately we got little bit lost on the way.
When we got up, the view was really amazing.Meer informatie

Hitchhiking through blockades
4 oktober 2022, Guatemala ⋅ 🌧 20 °C
In the morning we decided to hitchhike to small village close to Antigua, where we had a couchsurfing.
Unfortunately we realized there are some blockades on many roads in Guatemala. The blocked where from ex-soldier, who wanted some money from the government. Luckily it was possible to walk around the blockade and then hitchhike another car. First time in Guatemala we went with a big truck.
And the evening Jacqueline our couchsurfer welcomed us in the house of her family in Santiago Zamora.Meer informatie

Workaway in Efrain
30 september 2022, Mexico ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C
As we started to be tired from moving from place to place, we wanted to stay at one place for longer time and for that workaway is the best option. Our workaway experience was little bit different then we expected. The work was pretty chilled - cleaning forest, garage, some basic electrical work. In the afternoons we had time to explore the surrounding village, caves and nice forests around. In the end we stayed just a week, which helped us to get new energy again.Meer informatie

Don Lauro
22 september 2022, Mexico ⋅ 🌧 15 °C
From our couchsurfer we get a tip for this nice hike. After taking wrong colectivo and getting little bit lost, we found our way. We also had a nice guide - dog, which went with us all the way up the mountain. She was very friendly and nice. Unfortunately we could not take her with us, so saying goodbye was bit emocional for us. Don Lauro is a magical place, and there is also community doing lot of different events.Meer informatie
