It’s very enjoyable to look at how the condensation concentrates on vegetation on the volcanic slopes. Probably it would have been nicer to have captured this condensation during a golden hour. So, what’s for you the golden hour? text and photo by Arturo Godoy.
If you ever decide to hike the volcanoes around La Anttigua Guatemala, don’t ever forget to pay attention to the colors you find on your way up. The flora up there is unique and enchanting. I don’t know the name of these purple flowers, can anybody help? text and photo by Arturo Godoy.
On the road to San Juan del Obispo you can find this view, where you can see a coffee plantation in the foreground with the Acatenango and Fuego Volcanoes in the background. When I was on my way to San Juan del Obispo, I just had to stop and capture this fleeting vista. I am … Read more
About three years ago while doing a job with the terrible weather conditions I was able to capture this sunrise vista which is one of the few photos that saved the trip for me. 🙂 text and photo by Arturo Godoy.
How do you think you would feel if you were on top of the Acatenango Volcano and then you watched the Fuego Volcano erupting and making a huge loud noises? I tell you it was loud!!! It was just impressive!!! It’s one of those things that happen a few times in life; something that reminds … Read more
A year ago we went to Café Sky to celebrate a friend’s birthday and all of a sudden I glanced to my right and saw the San Francisco El Grande church with the Volcán de Agua nicely lit despite that area was a bit hazy. I wish I knew a little history the San Francisco … Read more
Scattered throughout the terra cotta rooftops of La Antigua, keen observers can spy the signature domed chimneys of the traditional Spanish colonial architecture. For me, the chimneys evoke thoughts of a warm hearth filled with crackling firewood. But during this unseasonal rain, I can’t help but to think of Rudy as he asks “Who stole … Read more
Guess, just a simple guess… Do you recall the place on the images? If so, what were you doing there? text and photo by Arturo Godoy.
In La Antigua Guatemala we’ve started the tradition to have sushi for lunch on Fridays; it’s Rudy’s fault really since he organized it. The place: Ubi’s Sushi because is quite affordable, and just exquisite. We call them Viernes de sushi. Bit by bit, the group has grown, and today I found myself amongst graphic designers … Read more
I am still getting over a cold, so I was a bit hesitant to leave home for All Saints Day. However, since a friend reminded me to pick up some fiambre she saved for me, which tasted just like the one my Mom makes. So, anyway, I ended up doing a lot of driving just … Read more
While some people prefer to make an extra buck, or a lot more extra bucks, here in La Antigua Guatemala some of us try to just live with what nature presents us. So, here is an experiment on a brief time lapse when the Volcán de Fuego erupted on September 14 while I was capturing the gorgeous sunset.

Anyway, in one of those trips around La Antigua Guatemala, I found myself capturing the above photograph.

You think Antigua Guatemala is just processions for the Semana Santa? Wrong. There is more… there are also plays, like this one. This play was being performed parallel to the procession of La Merced this past Sunday. Can you tell what’s the play all about? text and photos by Arturo Godoy.

An hour for the Planet… An hour of no light for the planet; it was celebrated worldwide. Antigua Guatemala did its share, as a city. Some, of course didn’t. Nonetheless the care for our planet should be done 24×7, and not just an hour per year. Of course, I understand all the difficulties of going … Read more
