La Playa - Champerico



Champerico is a beach town located on the western coast of Quatemala. It is not known as a popular place for foreign tourists, but is a popular weekend getaway for people who live in Xela. It's only 2 1/2 hours away from Xela by bus, but a world apart in climate.


Great Waves!


We had a great time playing in the Pacific Ocean (which is incredibly warm here) and relaxing with our friends. Food choices are limited for vegetarians but in Guatemala you can always find rice, beans, eggs and potatoes.

See all the orange signs? We decided Crush owns this town.

Our hotel, El Neptuno...right on the beach and recommended as a clean, secure place to stay.

Oh it's great to be warm and relaxing in a hammock!



The view of Santa Maria Volcano from the beach. We view the opposite side from Xela.
