Travel Tips for Transportation in Central Highlands

Parramos, Central Highlands, Guatemala
If you are interested in taking a look around a coffee farm on a horseback, you should go to Parramos. Type in Posada de me abuelito, Guatemala on Google. You will find some information about this german country farmhouse converted to a BB. Get a weekend package that includes bed, brekky and horse riding for Q.300 or something(apprx. $40) Take a chicken bus to Chichicastenango at Antigua bus terminal and get off in Parramos it cost like 3 Q's p/p. Then get a local taxi to the hotel...it takes around 5 minutes from town center. I loved everything about this place - its coffee(fresh coffee from the owner's finca), its food(authentic guatemalan), its atmosphere(green, fresh, cool and quiet), unforgettable horse riding(though it hurt my unprepared arse bit too much) and the hospitality of the hotel owner couple! Bet you'll have a great time.

Market days are Thursdays and Sundays. If you are pressed for time a good way to visit the markets is via a tourist mini bus from Panajachel or Antigua. They cost between $10 and $15, pick you up, drop you for a couple hours at the markets, (you can leave your bags on the bus) and then drop you at the next city. Really worked well for us as that time, we only had a week in Guatemala and being able to leave our bags was huge because otherwise we would have had to have lugged them around the markets.

A bit of historic Guatemalan culture, architecture, good restaurants, expensive hotels, bank machines, mountains, and local artisans offering wood work, textiles, crafts, and jewellery. Its a short drive from Guatemala City too - an easy day trip by bus or car.

Guatemala, Central Highlands, Guatemala
Hola, lebe seit ca sieben Wochen in der Haupstadt von Guatemala. Gewiss die Stadt ist nicht sehr schoen, obwohl ca 2,5 Mil Menschen mehr oder weniger freiwillig zu Ihren Wohnsitz erkoren haben. Die Verkehrsadern sind taeglich verstopft. Viele Menschen leiden besonders unter der starken Luftverschmutzung! Ihr zentrales Nervensystem ist durch uebereifrige Buerokraten, skrupellose Kriminelle, ineffiziente Polizisten sowie korrupter Politiker gelaehmt. Guatemala City kaempft gleich wie eine Stadt in der Dritten-Welt mit der Platznot, ringt um sauberes Wasser und saubere Luft.Und dennoch suchen immer wieder Bauern oder Menschen/Kinder Ihr Glueck in dieser Stadt! Nur leider finden die wenigsten Menschen hier Ihr Glueck und fallen in ein noch tieferes Loch!! Schlittern in eine Gang, verfallen dem Alkohol oder den Drogen!! Aber es ist hier kann man trotzdem noch ein paar schoen Plaetze entdecken. Riesige Maerkte besuchen, sehr billig einkaufen, toll Essen gehen, stark gesuesste Torten essen, Tequilla schluerfen oder sein Tanzbein schwingen. Wichtig: Immer sehr gut auf seine Wertsachen achten!! Langfinger gibt es ueberall!! Busverbindungen sind sehr gut aber die Ausstattung der Busse laesst zu wuenschen uebrig! Lieber ein wenig mehr dafuer zahlen und konfortabler reisen!
