The first stop on our Guatemalan road trip was El Remate, a small village on the northeast corner of Lake Peten Itza.

So we decided to stay another night in Chetumal, Mexico for a couple of reasons. After 2 long days of difficult driving in the Yucatan, filled with tons of topes, or speed bumps (walls…basically…put at random places), we needed a day to relax. Also we wanted to look into rentals in Belize so I wouldn’t
