		Guatemala also has many different kinds of hard woods which are used in delightful wood carvings of local animals – jaguar, monkeys, armadillos, coatimundis – small boxes and miniature canoes.

	Touring notes: Guatemala
		Guatemala (meaning the Land of Many Trees) is a very attractive touring destination.
		Guatemala has a rapidly growing network of paved roads, though to avoid unpaved roads (terracería or pista) would be to miss much of what is best in Guatemala.
		By comparison to other versions of Latin American Spanish, in Guatemala the S and G are always clearly pronounced, Rs are very strongly rolled, and the N is strongly nazalised at the end of words or before a consonant (eg, son is pronounced as if French, and naranja sounds like "na-rang-ha").

		I had entered Guatemala previously by land before and I knew that this was illegal, thus I decided to argue my case for not having to pay it.
		Later, I had a delay at the Tapachula exit from Guatemala because of my lack of a stamp, but I had made sure I kept the immigration form that was stamped, which eventually got me through that border without having to pay anything else.
