spent 5-10 days with Luisa Zea.  DescriptionLuisa's tour took me and five Canadian women kayaking down the Rio Dulce and through mangroves, into bat caves, swimming in thermal waterfalls, mountain biking in the central highlands, kayaking and hiking around Lake Atitlan,toasting marshmallows over lava and all the while staying at fabulous jungle lodges and small unique inns.Luisa's English is so good, she can even joke in her second language. Travelling with her feels like just hanging out with one of your best friends in their hometown where they know all the best nooks and crannies. You could tell the Guatemalan inn keepers and restaurant owners truly adore Luisa, which also makes the tourist's experience of the people and countryside more enjoyable. Best bits: Kayaking through mangroves and gorging on coconut seafood soup, a Garafuna specialty -- near Livingston on the Caribbean.
Worst bits: I loved the worst bits. Wading through bat guano in sandals with the bats swooping around your head deep in riverside caves. But this was topped only by tears of fear while stepping over lava fissures on Volcan Pacaya -- terrified that my quick-dry sports fabrics were going to fuse to my skin.
