Totonicapan, Guatemala

Four hours and three buses to travel from Antigua to Totonicapan, a small city in the Western Highlands of Guatemala, population about 94,000. While riding the local buses, we had to hold on tight, for fear of sliding off the seats, into our neighbors' laps. Evidently, the furthest seat in the back of the bus (our seat), means you bounce the highest over the speed bumps. We had no problem finding connecting buses with the help of others.


















In Totonicapan, we checked into a dreary hotel with no windows, the Hotel Totonicapan. We enjoyed getting OUT of the hotel and into the streets. We spent the evening walking around the market, drinking coffee and eating donuts, and hanging out at the main square, listening to music piped through town.
