Guatemala, terre Maya | Les routes de l'impossible

Whatever the problem in Guatemala, drivers and travelers solve them with a very Latin conception of life! More space in the bus, bumpers and roof racks are there to welcome travelers. At their own risk and peril, old American buses have a very uncertain reliability. When one of the three active volcanoes spits its anger on the villages around it, there again the Guatemalans have the solution? an offering to Maximo? Slip him a cigarette and a glass of liquor and this nation-wide revered saint will grant your wishes. From there the tracks and the cities of their ancestors the descendants of the Mayans celebrate some of their victories over the conquistadores in a completely crazy way. 24 hours of dancing and drinking that end with a horse race unique in the world. To get to the end of these mountain tracks ravaged by floods and landslides, Guatemalans have a secret: never get upset.
