Guatemala sells light and color

This is the view from the dining room. Guatemala sells itself as tourist destination and they focus mainly on the colonial towns, the Mayan people, the Mayan ruins and the Atitlán Lake. Well, they miss the gorgeous light and color that is available throughout Guatemala.

Here I leave you with the image that you are having breakfast and you decide to step to the door to receive a little sunshine and you are overwhelmed by the amount greens and reds and the stunning warm quality of the light. I buy that on the spot, wouldn’t you?

    Your photos and commentary are fantastic. I haven’t planned any vacation yet this year, and have found our DP family a great way to explore ideas. I can see how nice your country is through your eyes. Keep up the great work!

    Yes, I would buy that on the spot. The colonial towns and the anchient cultures are interesting, but I agree with you: there are magical qualities such as this that would leave a lasting impression on any visitor, yet are hard to sum up in the brochure.
