A photographer's practical guide to the country, its people, and its places — written trip by trip, from the ground.
I started going to Guatemala for the light and stayed for the people. This is the guide I kept meaning to write — the one that tells you which village to base in on Atitlán, when to arrive at Tikal, and where to eat the best pepián in Antigua. No affiliate links, no sponsored stays. Just what works.
Featured Everything I learned on three trips, compressed into a week. Starts in Antigua, ends on Atitlán, threads Tikal in the middle. Honest about what's worth skipping.
Four neighborhoods, three restaurants that haven't let me down, and the one rooftop I come back to at sunset.
Shuttle vs. chicken bus, Panajachel vs. San Marcos. A decision tree for the indecisive.
Gear, ethics, which angles to avoid, and how to ask for a portrait without being a nuisance.
