The green of Guatemala

Posted on by

“Green is the prime color of the world, and that from which its loveliness arises.”

-Pedro Calderon de la Barca

It is hard to visit Guatemala and not become completely entranced by her greenery. The color green can be found in every place you look- from the verdant terraced farmlands, to the lush fertile peaks of the volcanoes. After a long, cold colorless winter arriving in Green Guatemala almost hurts your eyes and reminds me of the constant rebirth and cycle of life.

  12. Absolutely stunning photos. We had a trip scheduled to Guatemala and before we could even reach it (we were in Playa del Carmen) we received the call that my dear friend who was terminally ill was in intensive care. We flew back to the states but hope someday to visit this beautiful country. Thanks for sharing.

  50. restlessjo – Hi! I’m Jo! Johanna when I’m feeling posh, Jan to my Dad, and Joasiu to my Polish family. A bit of a mix-up, that’s me. The one constant, however, is my restless nature. I love to travel and to explore our world. It doesn’t have to be the big wide world. I can be ridiculously happy not too far from home, so long as I’m seeking new horizons. Of course I have a wish list, and it was to help me fulfil my dreams that I started to write travel guides for a venture called Simonseeks. I’d always kept a travel diary, and it was hugely satisfying to share my experiences and to make new friends who shared my passion for travel. Alas, Simonseeks hit a few troubles, but I still find myself writing about my travels. I’ve become addicted. I’d love to share them, and to make more friends. So, it has to be a blog- right? Or do I mean- write?

  51. Hi Nicole, beautiful photography. First of all i want to thank you for this beautiful pictures. I am from India and never heard of Guatemala. There are very few Latin nations I knew, until a couple of months back. I am working on a project that requires me to study on Latin Nations. The place is awesome and I must say there are place in India that are similar to some of your pictures.

    Love,

  61. Thanks for sharing the “eye candies” of Guatemala. This couldn’t be better timing as I am heading to Guatemala/Central America in 9 days. I loved that this is “non tourist” and a little off the beathen path. I’ve been browsing many RTW blogs and eventually, all photos looks very similar since all the travelers go to the same or similar popular tourist locations. Great photos.

  62. Sonyboy Fugaban – Isabela, Bicol, Riyadh, & Beyond – I'm Sonyboy Fugaban—a (licensed) teacher by profession turned Overseas Filipino Worker and travel blogger currently based in Riyadh. I love the ocean...mountains, beaches, sunsets or sunrises...nature in general. I'm passionate about wandering and advocating a healthy lifestyle and personal eco-friendly practices since the mountaineering days. I'm the kind who prefers exploring and promoting ordinary places and nonmainstream tourist spots in my area rather than the ones outside, which makes me an economical fuel to your wanderlust. I'm a believer of the idea that there's always something beautiful out of the mundane. Having said that, I love to travel outside my comfort zones given the opportunity.

      • Sonyboy Fugaban – Isabela, Bicol, Riyadh, & Beyond – I'm Sonyboy Fugaban—a (licensed) teacher by profession turned Overseas Filipino Worker and travel blogger currently based in Riyadh. I love the ocean...mountains, beaches, sunsets or sunrises...nature in general. I'm passionate about wandering and advocating a healthy lifestyle and personal eco-friendly practices since the mountaineering days. I'm the kind who prefers exploring and promoting ordinary places and nonmainstream tourist spots in my area rather than the ones outside, which makes me an economical fuel to your wanderlust. I'm a believer of the idea that there's always something beautiful out of the mundane. Having said that, I love to travel outside my comfort zones given the opportunity.

    green is not a primary color….red, yellow and blue are primary, green, orange and purple are secondary because green is made from the combination of yellow and blue, therefore secondary to those two primary colors!!
