We are deep in the jungle of Coban in the village of Lanquin!
We traveled 8 hours to get here from Antigua... and rode in a 27 person van that was completely filled! The van was packed with experienced travelers and we were happy to be apart of it.
We were advised by our good friend Tara where to stay in Lanquin, and we were thrilled when we arrived. Once we got to our hostel on the river of Lanquin we immediately fell in love with the place. We are staying in a 14 person bungalow where we have made some great friends!
Today we spent the whole day with our new buddy Brad who has traveled the last 12 weeks from Panama to Guatemala. On our adventure today we jumped off the rope swing from our hostel, swam across the river, and tubed down the Rio Lanquin during a rainstorm deep in the jungle!
During our 24 hour stay at El Retiro, I myself was able to misplace my Oakley hat, slam my knee on a rock, cut my feet, ruin the copy of my passport, I just lose my GoPro3+ and Brad lost his camera... But to be honest, I've never felt more alive!
Anyways, we are off to enjoy the last bit of happy hour befor we feast on a homemade spread alongside the Lanquin River while we anxiously search for UCLA Bruins updates! Much Love!
Go Bruins!
