 Guatemala: from Tikal to Semuc Champey
From Raxruha to Lanquin you definitely need high clearance 4 wheel
drive because of mud-slide damage. With a 2-wheel drive you will have to
stick to pavement and go through Chisec and Coban, to Lanquin. In the
Lanquin Semuc Champey area I would be more comfortable with a 4wd but a
2 wd van would be quite ok. And give yourself more time from place to
place. C.A. is the opposite of Kansas.
