Sometimes we perceive a country with negative light. The danger and horror stories we hear can cloud like a stormy day, a beautiful country. Guatemala is sometimes known for its beautiful nature but what we hear from news and media is a different story. My whole life, I was under the impression that Central America was a horrible place plagued with drugs and gangs’ wars and underdeveloped cities. In some cases, that’s the sad truth but it only takes one visit to prove you that despite all the negative aspects, there’s a beautiful country that could make you fall in love with.
Every person I have told, I went to Guatemala makes the same disgusted face as if they knew the whole story. It would take me only one minute and one picture to explain how wrong they all were. Yes, the country is not the safest place on earth but their good people and their beautiful nature, truly compensate.
My story is not to sell you Guatemala or to encourage you to go to unsafe places or to give you a false sense of safety in a very unsafe place but to encourage to learn not to judge a book by its cover as an ugly cover can turn out to be a beautiful country.
