	Eastern highlands, Guatemala. Travel guide & tourist information by Hostelbookers.com
		The region's towns are almost all pretty featureless and perennially hot and dusty, so you're unlikely to want to hang around for long.
		Esquipulas is certainly worth a visit, though, for its colossal church, the most important pilgrimage site in Central America.
		It's also positioned very close to the border with Honduras and El Salvador, though if you're heading into Honduras, you're most likely to end up spending the night in Chiquimula, a dull town that's the gateway to the ruins of Copán just over the border.
