Guatemala
Zip-Lines & A Tour of Antigua


Guatemala:

Got off the boat early for a long day of fun and sightseeing. First we went to Philadelphia (actually Filadelfia), a coffee plantation. Up near the top of the mountains, we took a zip-line ride through the canopy. Very beautiful and the many zip-lines were a great way to see it all. When we were done flying through the air, they fed us. Very relaxing morning.

After zipping through the trees, we spent a few hours walking around Antigua, Guatemala's original capitol. This is a very old city and is surrounded by three active volcanoes. Quite a hot spot.
