My family took a double-decker bus from Melchor, Guatemala, which is a 15 minute drive from our home. We left at 8pm and arrived in Guatemala City early the next morning around 6am and had to walk a block to the city trans metro. We rode the metro for about 30 minutes to another bus station and hopped another bus for a 3 hour ride out to our friends place. I had plenty of dramamine with me and believe me, I used it!
We visited Santiago, Lake Atitlan and it was absolutely beautiful. A big lake nestled in amongst volcanoes at a higher elevation and cooler weather. Large Maya populations live around this lake and there are twelve little towns spread out all around the lake. It was a beautiful drive up as we passed coffee plantations that spread as far as you could see. Totally different vegetation and I loved it.
