Camionetas

This is a good example of what a "chicken bus" or camioneta looks like in Guatemala. Camionetas are old US school buses that have undergone a serious makeover reminiscent of the MTV show Pimp My Ride. This particular camioneta says "Jehova is my shepherd" and "God guides me, I drive" . This fatalist mentality towards the dangerous roads of Central America is a commonly written expression on the camionetas of Guatemala. I often wonder whether roller-coasters will ever feel dangerous again after having spent countless hours traveling by camioneta throughout the mountains of Guatemala. One thing is for sure, riding a "chicken bus" in Latin America is truly an experience like none other.
