What to do in San Andres

Activities, attractions and tours

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! Check the article I wrote about it: http://bit.ly/1vuAHcs
