PinExt Did You Know? Flowers Come by the Truckloads in Guatemala

Guatemala is a country so diverse that at every step I find myself asking am I really in a country that is 80% poor? I have been to some other countries where poverty is predominant, but I must admit none are as colorful or full of resources.

 Did You Know? Flowers Come by the Truckloads in Guatemala

One of the most amazing things in Guatemala and something that I have found myself not being able to live without anymore are fresh flowers. And I’m talking by the truck loads!

No matter what happens, I try to make it over to the market day on Saturdays where there are tons of vendors selling all kinds of flowers from carnations to daisies to my favorite: ROSES. For less than one dollar you can buy a dozen of beautiful, all colored roses!

They are this cheap because these are the leftovers. If you can believe it, the ‘good ones’ are exported. How much better can they be?
