Had a great time learning about the Mixco ruins. Not the biggest or fanciest temples, but you can crawl/ climb all over them. These ruins give you a great idea of what 'day to day' life may have been. Excellent find and wonderful visit.

Capn chris knows where the fish are and how to get em. We were at blue bayou Guatemala for three days. Caught around twenty five sailfish, a couple dorados and the coup de grace a 350 lb. blue marlin. Catch and release all except for the dorado which was turned into ceviche in a matter of hours. You talk about fresh seafood. Chris's staff was tremendous. Marasol can cook anything and it was all great, Rudy is a great driver and a better person and Freddie will take care of any other needs. Blue bayou is first rate all the way.
