Ron Long, "The Color and Culture of Guatemala"

February 09, 2010

Time: 12:00PM–1:30PM

The accomplishments of the ancient Maya that are so evident at Tikal are incredibly impressive. But Mayan culture continues to enliven modern-day Guatemala. Our visit begins at Tikal and continues through the lives of today's Maya. We avoid the tourist traps to see how the Maya live. Compared to our own, almost everything is different in their culture which makes it endlessly interesting. And the color and energy that are everywhere evident make modern Guatemala a photographer's dream.
