Welcome in Guatemala!


El Remate, Guatemala February 10, 2010

Hola!

Today everyone was really excited for our journey to be continued to Guatemala. We left Nueva Alianza in the morning and arrived to Bethel with no delays. We had lunch on Flores Island and we went to visit ARCAS. ARCAS is a non-profit organization formed in 1989 by a group of Guatemalan citizens. They formed this wildlife park because they saw their precious heritage and especially their wildlife rapidly disappearing. This park was originally meant for care and rehabilitation for wild animals that were being confiscated on the black market by the Guatemalan government. The ARCAS Rescue Center has grown to be one of the largest and most complex rescue centers in the world. They receive between 300 and 600 animals of more than 40 species per year. It was a really nice experience to be here today.

After our visit we stopped at a supermarket and went back to the hostel. The Hermano Pedro hostel where we are staying at is oversold. This means that I and the two guys are in a hotel nearby. We should be with the girls tomorrow. Soon more adventure in Guatemala!
