Guatemala is next to Godliness

Literally all you need to do here. Even the dogs are mood directing.
Welcome to San Pedro, one of several small villages surrounding Lake Atitlan nestled amongst  
stunning mountains.
Boss chillin'

1.5 hours uphill, 18,000m above sea level and a few breaths lighter we reached the peak of the 
Indian Nose. 
Breathtaking would be a modest way to describe it. 
Amongst the clouds where eagles soar and a playground of sparrow size butterflies frolick together, floating away on one of the clouds almost becomes real.
This IS Avatar.
Mountain meditations atop the Indian nose.

A merging of creative minds infused by local Mayan culture and mountain magic induces a feeling of richness in this picture perfect village. Here we are freestyling french rap over electro improvised beats overlooking magestic mountains and lake, elevating sunset grooves to a whole other level.

The cobblestoned medieval beauty of Antigua streets.
A town so rich in it's own culture whilst infiltrating an international flair with world class cuisine, pleasant locals and enough brightly charactered buildings to make you feel quaintly at home. 
Surrounded by volcanic mountains it's the perfect little village vibe to break up your journey through the terrain of hot springs, lakes and waterfalls Gorgeous Guatemala has to offer.
