We signed up for a guided bike ride tour on the outskirts of Antigua. Juan was our guide and he led us via narrow dusty tracks to areas of Guatemala we could have never seen any other way. Many towns were accessible only by way of these paths, suitable for walking or cycling. Above is a larger town we passed through.
The path in the middle
This was a very pretty lane that wound along next to this wall of arborvitae. Juan told us that a very fancy nursery lay behind it. They grew carnations there, he said.
Juan takes a cell phone call while waiting for his charges (us) to catch up.
We enjoyed a fresh squeezed glass of orange juice after our bike ride. That's Juan on the far left. The Mayan woman preparing the juice ducks her head away from the camera.
