from Guatemala to Nicaragua

Lake Atitlan, in Guatemala. Two volcanos on the right side, and a couple of towns on its shores.

 

 Public transport in Guatemala. Some 20 people on board a small Nissan truck, at full speed over the potholes.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Cows crossing the road in El Salvador. A very common, and dangerous, sight.

 

 

 

Landscape along the road in Honduras. Overall it is much drier and hotter than Guatemala.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Volcan Momotombo in Northern Nicaragua, on the road from Esteli to Leon.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Basilica of La Asuncion, in Leon, Northern Nicaragua.

This construction has heavy, thick walls because of seismic activity. The poet Ruben Dario is buried in this place.

 

 

 

 

 

 Another view of Volcan Momotombo and, in the background, volcan Momotombito, on the shores of Lake Managua. The later is on a small island of its own.
