5th visit to Guatemala with my partner and our two adopted children. First visit was when they were 7 and they are now 15 years old. 4th stay with Los Elementos and having Alex Vicente Lopez (local Guatemalan) as a guide. Alex is the highlight of our trip. He and his family have become our family. He connects extremely well with children, young adults, and adults. We did some of our regulars - cliff jumping at San Marcos, hiking upper and lower Mayan trail, visiting villages, lake play, swimming, kayak, riding trucks and tuk tuk's. We even looked at a place to purchase in Santa Cruz. Thank you Lee Beal for organizing our trip. Lee was great to work with. He coordinated our visit to include our son's birth mom. He is able to translate and has access to translators. We emailed, talked on phone, etc... Lee is our Guatemalan and goes beyond what is expected. Already planning our 6th trip. Visited June 15-22nd.
