The Back road to Pana via Patzun
March 19, 2019 in Guatemala ⋅ 🌧 75 °F
Took the back road
Accident on CA1 so had to drive Zaragoza then back to highway
Road was recently paved, so made good time until we came upon some road construction and had to wait again.
The volcanos were not as clear, but that didn't make up for the laughs we had as we journeyed to Panajachel.Read more

Its a good thing I just discovered Nutella! I had a crepe and everyone else had a delicious meal at Rincon Suisse. Our road trip back to the city was uneventful and the traffic was relatively light.
