It is a cool morning and the sky is clear, we are full of emotion for the adventure we are about to discover. Our group from Moab Utah are friends and passionate cyclists who are about to see Guatemala as few do – by bike.
We are at 3100m (10,500 ft) shuttling to the top of a mountain; the air is cold and fresh. We can see for miles views of the volcanic chain, the majestic Lake Atitlán and the many remote towns of the Guatemalan highlands.
