Are you one of the lucky SCA residents traveling on my 15 day Central America Panama Cruise in April 2016? Included in this trip will be a visit to the colorful colonial town of Puerto Quetzal, Guatemala. You can learn more about this beautiful country in this YouTube video:
While there you can enjoy superb jungle encrusted Maya pyramid complexes, gorgeous smoking volcanos, wildlife crammed rain forests, and colorful ethnic people with curious customs.
Antigua, the old capital, is now a World Heritage site, with cobbled streets, flowers, and evocative ruins. One of the popular tours is the smoky Pacaya Volcano.
For those who haven’t jumped on board and booked this cruise with me yet, the ship is almost sold out!
Discounted rates are available on a few windows and Interiors. (Waiting list only for Verandas and Suites.) I am only able to hold these discounted rates until November, so if you’re thinking about coming along, please let me know right away!
TRAVEL TIPS:
In Quetzal, the US dollar is the most widely accepted foreign currency. Credit cards are accepted at many city hotels, restaurants and shops. As of this blog $1.00 = 7.65050 Guatemalan Quetzal (GTQ). The language is Spanish, although when it comes to discussing money, English is usually understood. And for those of you who cannot live without your computer, internet access is widely available, even in remote areas.
