    As many have before me, I sat in awe, looking down at the temples of Tical, a monumental city who housed some of the very first astonomers of the human species. The precison of the architecture, so that at some points the clapping of the hands mimiked the sound of the Quetzal, Guatemala's national bird, was quite frankly breathtaking. by: centralamericantales Views[632] Semuc Champay, the wondorous limestone pools of every shade of gree.

Not to buy them, but to admire them as a emblems of stories told over generations, or long- learned skills handed down from mother to daughter or father to son, using local (if at times unsustainable) resources. by: centralamericantales Views[192] In Antigua, there is an amazing array of high quality hostels housed in beautiful old colonial buildings for about $15per night. by: centralamericantales Views[251]
