Share: Hope Smith is seen here at Tikal, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Hope Smith, founder of Born to Travel, spent time in Guatemala with Maya Trails in December 2020, visiting famous locations such as Antigua, Lake Atitlan and Tikal, as well as exploring far off-the-beaten-path sights such as Semuc Champey and Rio Dulce. Here she shares some of the highlights from her trip.
It had been nearly 30 years since I last visited Guatemala and I was excited to get back. Would the sights be as wonderful as I remembered them? The culture as colorful? Would the ‘Land of Eternal Spring’ delight me once again? Would I feel comfortable with the COVID protocols in the country? All were answered with a joyful yes!
