Ari met Ethan at a hostel there and they experienced everything Fiesta de Santo Tomas had to offer. Before hitting the festival, they share pictures of the hot springs, beautiful hikes, and the chaotic chicken buses. If you could imagine all the dangerous things about carnivals, multiple that by 100, and it's right there in Chichicastenango, Guatemala for this festival. Booming fireworks pointed right at the crowd and sketchy rides were abundant. Chao!
