After a long and way too warm busride from Maicao to Santa Marta I got on a moto taxi and 20 minutes later I was in Taganga. It is said to be a super laid back fisherman village full of gringos, but I find it less pleasant and much less laidback than Montañita in Ecuador. Taganga in sunset Not superimpressed with the place I decided to do it easy here. Found a cheap hostal where I could sleep on the roof in a hammock, and a diving school where I could ge...

After an excruciatingly hot night in the bus in Playa Tunco, we rolled towards the east-side of La Libertad to search for some nicer beaches. We didn´t have to look to far. Only an hour or two drive away, we found a little fishing village with a nice sandy beach, or at least sandy..

The ...

I treated myself to a good days sleep after the volcano-trekking on Acatenengan before I headed on to Lanquin to see the stunning scenery and bathe the natural pools in Semuc Champey national park. Since the public transport here in Guatemala is kinda tricky and slow, especially when you´re going up north, I ended up booking a seat on a shuttle. The shuttles aren´t that much more expensive than the public option, but i reckon I saved about half a day in travel-...
