I finally get to the place where you heard about so much good. Enough for the first five minutes in order to realize that we are really in a very special hostel. El Retiro, because that is what is known is situated on the banks of a mountain river. It has a number of houses built in Indian style, perfectly blending smoothly into the environment. The focal point of El Retiro is a pub near water. Even the toilet device is here with gusto. Managed by the British and the land belonged to Guatemalans living in Lanquin. Accommodation prices are not very high but choose the cheapest options for accommodation in our own tent for $ 2 per person.
Unfortunately, the food turns out to be quite expensive. Dinner costs are more than five dollars, a small beer $ 1.5. Besides, the store also is not much cheaper because you pay about a dollar per 0.35 liter of beer. What a rip off!
Finally we come to Oaxaca to the place where a lot of plecakowiczow. I actually just plecakowiczow. And half of them are from Israel. Salom, Salom hear every now and then almost in the middle of the Guatemalan jungle. Turns out the Israelis after the end of military service at age about 21 years embark on a journey throughout the world. Well, of course, nei choose to Lebanon and Syria just looking for places where there is no terrorist threat. A Latin America have gone for that great. In addition to Israelis is also plenty of English-speaking tourists from Canada, Australia, UK, USA. Well, we are my 5 Poles. Quite a strong group. All I am surprised, because I talk to Poles rarely come together. All of those tourists, however, differs very different from us. They are clean and well-behaved children released yesterday from the mother. Workout glownei tourist buses, often taken out by some travel agency and accept all the inflated prices that they will meet in their way. Well, maybe not all but most. In addition to the Dutchman very inteligetnym and happy and no one Fajana Israeli does not know anybody here on the web. Sorry: ((Actually, talks are so terribly standard. You just came from Tikal and they eat there. Everyone has their own journey and everyone has those 2 to 10 months to something like sightseeing. Hope for a wonderful merry party 'dispelled. Maybe it is also different this reason. What is lacking in us some cool people from Eastern Europe, with them probably would come as soon as it started ...
And maybe when everyone is tired prsotu, a continuous journey and inserting this morning. Because of this, however, it is getting dark at 17:30 and want to see a lot of people makes you get up here at 5:00 in order to hire from 6:00 to start an active tour. We get up too early.
During our two day stay we visit the two beautiful places in the area. The first day we set off in a long but interesting walk to the waterfalls Semuc Champain, away from Lanquin about 10 km. Along the way we seek to establish contacts with the Indians. It is not easy because I know spanish weakly. It is really amazing. Young Indian invite us to his home. In the corner we see the fireplace hung a couple of hammocks in the middle. And that's all. They are very nice but still run away from the camera lens and awfully loud laughs. On the way from behind the trees naked Indian pop children. Amazing really. Wogole sees a certain regularity. Now, only the Indian women wear traditional colorful clothes, the men starting at the boys normally wear jeans and koszulku. Women in my view, quite a strange and pleasant little for themselves bear the way their children who are on the back but the main ciezac woman lies on her forehead which is a material polaczonyw girded with a bundle on his back. In my opinion, should contact the Indiankami Chiapas in Mexico because they bore children in much more convenient way.
Along the way, we still have an unexpected aktrakcja. Great swing suspended from a tree, the execution of wpsanialego jump into the nearby river. Ola, a Dutchman and I are having fun like a child for an hour. Group encourages us nice Guatemalans.
After 2.5 hours walk we reach the waterfalls. There is a fairy tale, czysciutka water, hills and dense Selwa. I mnotwo natural swimming pools between successive cascades for swimming. Immersed in water. Oh, how wonderful:)) Returning grab rate - the guy orozwozi cchipsy, siedzymy the back along with boxes of Frito Lay. Shakes terribly. I hope not to damage the card to me from the camera, because then I will have nastnego of problems with the rip pictures.
next two hours invested into Lanqiun deluded cave and river recreation. The weather is variable, from sun to rain. Find a cool place to eat. Quite cheap, go to the kitchen and talk to the staff as always very nice. Where are you from? Polish az. It is from this country which is Benedict XVI? No, no, I improved a second - that John Paul II was the Polish. What is the first - yes, John Paul II - he pozastonie for me, and so the only pope, and there would be no different important. Not the first time in Latin America we hear these words.
must again lie down to sleep by 21 tomorrow I wake up at 5am ...
