Day 10 Thru Hiking from Guatemala City to Quetzaltenengo.
Day 10 finds me hiking from Santa Catarina to my accommodation, Casa Doña Tomasa) 10 km from Quetzaltenengo. It was another grueling day of hiking straight up and straight down. I rubbed up against my physical limits several times. 20 km in the Guatemalan Highlands is probably equivalent to 40 km on the Camino de Santiago. I was plum worn out by the end of my hike.

San Juan La Laguna (San Juan: en honor a su santo patrono San Juan Bautista; «La Laguna»: por estar «próximo al Lago de Atitlán»), es un municipio del departamento de Sololá, en la República de Guatemala; que está en el lado suroccidental del lago Atitlán. La cabecera municipal se encuentra rodeado por cerros: cerro de Las Cristalinas, cerro Kyaq Aaba'aj, cerro Kajnom, es la parte donde se han establecido indígenas tz'utujiles. Tiene tres aldeas en la parte alta: Palestina, Panyebar y Pasajquim que son indígenas mayas k'iches.
Durante la época colonial fue parte de la encomienda de Atitlán, la que estaba a cargo de los descendientes del conquistador Sancho de Barahona.4a Después de la Independencia de Centroamérica en 1821, estuvo en el extenso departamento de Sololá/Huehuetenango,6 y en 1838 fue parte del efímero Estado de Los Altos hasta que este fue reincorporado al Estado de Guatemala por el general conservador Rafael Carrera en 1840.7 Luego del triunfo de la Reforma Liberal de 1871, cuando dicho departamento fue reducido considerablemente por la creación del departamento de Quiché el 12 de agosto de 1872, fue asignado al departamento de Sololá.8
En el siglo xxi, el huracán Stan azotó Guatemala como huracán de categoría I y provocó considerables daños en el municipio.
Nombre en castellano
Muchos de los nombres de los municipios y poblados de Guatemala constan de dos partes: el nombre del santo católico que se venera el día en que fueron fundados y una descripción con raíz náhuatl; esto se debe a que las tropas que invadieron la región en la década de 1520 al mando de Pedro de Alvarado estaban compuestas por soldados españoles y por indígenas tlaxcaltecas y cholultecas.10 El topónimo «San Juan La Laguna» se confirió en honor a San Juan y del hecho de que el poblado está geográficamente próximo al Lago de Atitlán,11 ya que al igual que los otros municipios que tienen el mismo nombre, a partir de 1643 se llaman así porque el visitador Antonio Lara habría ordenado que todos los apellidos indígenas y los lugares geográficos fueran castellanizados.12
Nombre en tz'utujil
Según los Anales de los Cakchiqueles (Memorial de Sololá) se llama Xe' Kuku' Juyu', frase que proviene de las raíces idioma maya tz'utujil Xe' (español: «debajo», Kuku' (español: «tinaja») y Juyu' (español: «cerro o montaña») y significa «debajo del Cerro Tinaja». Actualmente se le llama Xe' Kuku' Aab'aj.
Está rodeado casi completamente por municipios del departamento de Sololá, excepto al sur, en donde colinda con el departamento de Suchitepéquez:
Norte: Santa Clara La Laguna y San Pablo La Laguna
Noreste: Lago de Atitlán
Noroeste: Santa María Visitación
Este: San Pedro La Laguna
Sur: departamento de Suchitepéquez
Oeste: Santa Catarina Ixtahuacán
CENTRAL AMERICA BACKPACKING TRIP | Mexico, Belize & Guatemala - Trailer
I went solo backpacking around Central America for 6 weeks, travelling through Mexico, Belize and Guatemala.
This 3 part documentary series shows the entire backpacking experience.
From the fun activities, beautiful sites, crazy parties, to the exhausting journeys and the good, bad and ugly hostels.
Flying into Cancun, Mexico, I made my way to Tulum to check out the cenotes. Then chilled out at the beautiful Lake Bacalar before crossing the border into Belize.
Caye Caulker island was a great place to chill and party, as well as do some incredible snorkelling. From here I took a 3 day island-hopping boat tour with Ragamuffin tours along the Belize Barrier Reef.
Heading inland I went to San Ignacio, exploring the Caracol ruins by jeep. Then I crossed the border into Guatemala, staying in the beautiful town of Flores to visit the ancient Mayan ruins of Tikal.
Next stop was the beautiful Semuc Champey, stunning waterfalls in the jungle-filled mountains. Then I went to Antigua and got to roast some marsh-mellows on Pacaya volcano.
I then did a 3 day trek from Xela to Lake Atitlan, hiking through cloud forests, corn fields, small villages and staying with local families.
At Lake Atitlan I got to try out horse-riding for the first time before finishing up my trip at El Paredon on the Pacific Coast.

Kenny's 2013 Food for the Poor Guatemala Trip - Feb. 2013, Pt. 10
Here's a collection of a few short videos from our van as we traveled up and down the Guatemalan countryside. The views here were pretty typical of what we saw in most of the rural and mountain areas.

BBtv WORLD: Through the eyes of the pueblo (Guatemala)
BBtv WORLD is our recently-launched series on Boing Boing tv featuring first-person views of life around the globe. This third episode in our series is the last of a three-part report I filed from a K'iche Maya community in Guatemala.
Few foreigners come to this village at 10,000 feet in the highlands. Most glimpses we have of remote indigenous communities like this are through the lenses of outsiders -- like myself. But how better to see their story than through the eyes of the people themselves?
Before I left the US for this pueblo a few weeks ago, we asked two companies that produce small, inexpensive, USB camcorders -- Pure Digital (makers of the Flip) and RCA (makers of the Small Wonder) -- to donate a few devices. I brought them to the village, so that some of the adults and young people here could explore what is possible with the tools of video storytelling in their own hands.
Today's BBtv WORLD is the result: stories shot by the K'iche people in this village. The world they see around them, through their own eyes and in their own language.
Some of what the children shot really surprised me. They caught on right away, faster even than the adults, and quickly taught each other how to record and play back video. Some of them seemed to transform into instant YouTube stars -- new alter-egos showed up out of nowhere. One boy we'd come to know as quiet and well-mannered over the course of many previous visits here shot himself throwing gang signs against the sunlight, like shadow puppets, while he walked a path that leads to a Mayan altar. Another girl who was very shy with us in person recorded video of herself making outrageous silly faces, and speaking in a boisterous, confident voice to her new handheld lens.
When I downloaded the footage from their devices, I felt as if I were seeing this place, and these people, for the first time.
