Bumping around Guatemala City and the rest of the country looking for off the map eats. We walk through the Flores Market where buses cut directly through the market, check out the FAMOUS ruins of Tikal and eat offal in the oldest bar in Guatemala city before tucking into Mayan food at La Cocina de la Señora Pu.

Bumping around Guatemala City and the rest of the country looking for off the map eats. We walk through the Flores Market where buses cut directly through the market, check out the FAMOUS ruins of Tikal and eat offal in the oldest bar in Guatemala city before tucking into Mayan food at La Cocina de la Señora Pu. Guatemalan markets look and feel exactly how you want so many markets to be around the world. They smash you in the face with smells, commerce and commotion. Spanish is helpful but like any mercado experience, curiosity is the only prerequisite.

Guatemala is teeming with good people with open hearts and delicious dishes that don't get exported anywhere else. As soon as you can, go.
