Through Quetzaltenango to a Guatemala jungle world
A traveler notes the ascent from Tectonicipan toward Quetzaltenango in Guatemala, describing a scenic 15 mile road, six hotels, and brisk patronage despite being 85 miles from the railroad. The route drops a mile near Mount Santa Maria and quickly shifts from pine to tropical jungle with giant trees, orchids, and moss as the traveler bikes into a frontier landscape.
