Caravan de Zorros – Info Please!

Guest Post by Marina K. Villatoro, Travel Experta

Since I started writing for Mark’s blog, I’ve failed to mention my absolute addiction and NEED for travel. While living in Costa Rica there was no village from the Nicaraguan border to the Panamanian border that we didn’t visit. Plus, we indulged ourselves in trying to keep up with the local festivities as well.  Like the different parades, festivals and other stuff that after a few years became mundane as we realized it was all the same only the faces changed from town to town.  Although I recommend it for everyone who is visiting Costa Rica to experience a local event!

Now it’s Guatemala’s turn! Since I met my husband here eight years ago I traveled the entire country. But, that was eight years ago, I was a backpacker. What that means is that I traveled with other backpackers whose main goal was to spend AS LITTLE AS POSSIBLE. And trust me, I will never recommend the $1.50 hotel finds we used to stay at. I’ve stayed in places that I was too scared to take off my jeans and sweaters because the beds hadn’t been changed since 1960’s, or there were more ants in the bed with me than you’d find in an ant farm or taking a shower was less hygienic than being dirty for one full week.  Needless to say, we are exploring Guatemala in a whole new light and I’m loving it! I will start posting more about my adventures in this country!

For now, I am hoping to get an exact answer, since no one seems to know specifically and I can’t find anything on the web as well. I keep hearing about this awesome Caravan de Zorros. A caravan of motorcycles that leave from Guatemala City and head to Esquipulas. It’s supposed to be a pretty amazing experience since there are over one thousand of all sorts of motorcycles that head out together.

Naturally we want to go! But for the life of me I can’t figure out the exact date and the location of it. Plus, I would so love to hear a first hand experience if anyone has had one!
