Carretera
1, a constituent of the Pan-American highway, swaths an east-west path through
the beautiful country of Guatemala. The city serves the country's two
largest cities: Quetzaltenango and Guatemala City. Though we're
driving on the country's main road, it is recommended to watch for oncoming
traffic. Motorists in a hurry are known to cross her center-line and pass
others who they feel are too slow. The route encompasses great views of
forest lifestyle and the nighttime sky.
