Guatemala routes? - Atitlan to Flores
Im planning on travelling up from Lake Atitlan to Flores in a couple of weeks, then back down via Rio Dulce to Honduras (Copan) possibly after visiting Belize. Will be travelling on my GS but will be riding 2 up and was hoping to make the trip in 2 days. The most interesting route looks like going via Coban with an option to to go the northerly or eastern routes but is this viable in the time given it is mountain roads and not wanting to ride at night? Can anyone tell me what these roads are like and what kind of progress you can make? Or should we just take the main road through Guatemala City and up via Rio Dulce (ive heard the road north of San Pedro is new and very good)
Any advice much appreciated.
