Guatemala - The Pacific Slope (ebook Chapter)
Separated from the highlands by a chain of volcanoes, the flatlands that run down to the Pacific are known as La Costa. It’s a sultry region - hot and wet or hot and dry, depending on the time of year. Archaeologically, the big draws here are Takalik Abaj and the sculptures around Santa Lucía Cotzumalguapa.
Coverage includes: Tilapita, Coatepeque, Retalhuleu & around, Champerico, Mazatenango, Tulate, Chiquistepeque, Santa Lucía Cotzumalguapa, La Democracia, Sipacate, Escuintla, Autosafari Chapín, Iztapa, Monterrico & around, Cuilapa and Lago de Amatitlán.
