After returning from a two-year, 13-country adventure in 2007 (during which we shot travel videos using a rather crude point-and-shoot), we thought we'd be ready for a break from travel. Six months later, we were itching to hit the road again. Enter TripFilms, with an offer to send us on assignment to Guatemala and Belize. We eagerly repacked our bags and in February 2008 set off for Central America, brand new HD camera in tow.
We started in the western highlands of Guatemala, where we were captivated by the colonial city of Antigua and the beauty of Lake Atitlan. After a stopover in the massive market of Chichicastenango, we explored bat caves, limestone pools, and ancient Mayan temples in Lanquin and Tikal. Across the border in Belize, we made a beeline for the laid-back island of Caye Caulker, where we dutifully complied with the locals' official motto: "Go Slow."
Follow our adventures as we climb volcanoes, eat raw coffee beans, troll for cave spiders, and drink pina coladas on the beach. Thanks for watching!
