Roadmaps Guatemala and down
Hi all,
after about 8 months i am in Antiqua, Guatemala. I didn't bother to to bring maps so i look for someone on his way up to mexico and is willing to sell his maps of central america.
there's not many maps around, and from what i have seen so far the maps of "International Travel Maps" seem to be the best.
cheers,
sander

Antigua
Sander-
I'm leaving from Colorado in a week to head down to Antigua. I plan on going down the eastern side of Mexico then dropping into Guatemala and going to Antigua for a month for Spanish lessons. Do you have any advice on my ride down or Antigua?
Thanks,
Ben

If you still are in Antigua, near the Cathedral there are several bookstores that have a lot of maps from Guatemala, Central america and Mexico, one of them is Cafe Condesa just in front of the Cathedral.
There is also an office from INGUAT (Tourism office) that has free maps of Guatemala.
