It’s not a Coral Snake, it’s a Coffee Snake. But you are correct with red and black is a friend of Jack and red and yellow can kill a fellow.

There is a rhyme about red, black and yellow colors on a snake. It is red next to black is a friendly jack (non-poisionous). Red next to yellow can kill a fellow. I can’t tell from the picture if there is a yellow band between the red and black. If there is it could be poisonous. I am no snake expert but my guide book said that snakes are rare in Guatemala and are not poisionous.

Comment on Laguna Brava in Huehuetenango by roberto

hey, laguna brava or yolnabaj what a nice place, it is a good place to spent the night the laguna is very clean but people that live near laguna brava or las comunidades are starting to leave trash is a shame not only that they are thiefs be careful with this people thay have guns and want money so if you want to go you should go to talk to the alcalde of yolambojoch and ask for permission you have to pay 25 quetzales for each person and 50 or 75 for a guide, whatever you do please do not enter from la bendicion it is prohibited by the farmers and if you enter there they may kidnapped you and take away your money and stuff, like i say go with a guide.

there is a guy named Juan Bartolo this is a very bad person he and other people from there are thiefs they always carry gun so be careful.

also for those who love rockclimbing like me would be glad because the road that take you to trinidad is full of boulders and long routes it is a paradise.

nice trip,

salutes,

Roberto

Thank you all for your comments!

Phil, as for info resources and guides you can contact www.fundaeco.org.gt, they are focused on studying the flora and fauna and natural reserves, also www.defensores.org.gt, they travel a lot, many experts in their field.

You can also contact the local zoo, they have an extensive documentation on local flora and fauna, they are very collaborative. There is a book (I don’t remember the title) but I had it on my hands… its a special edition about flora and fauna of Guatemala, you can surely find it at the local zoo library.

Or the local museum or natural history, all the info and contact here: www.viajeaguatemala.com/Guatemala/1061174163622.htm

Good luck!

Hi Hector,

beautiful photos. I will be living in Guatemala as a Peace Corps volunteer for the next two years. i wonder if you can refer me to good field guides to either the flora and fauna, or both. thanks so much. regards,

Comment on Xela nights by wilbur little

Sat, 19 Jul 2008 20:00:11 +0000

I spent my share of days and nights in Xela.Motels,pig farms,morning breakfast at Pollo Campero,tiendas.A friend of mine here in the states served his LDS mission in Xela. Named their first baby Xela.Would I ever return to Xela? I have no reason to but I dont have a reason not to either.Xela is one of those places that you create your fond memories,and add your 20 pictures to your blog.All in all Xela is still part of my life.
