  • Chicken bus

    “I went to Guatemala for a friend’s wedding party and spent another eight days travelling around the country. The local transport – they are known as chicken buses is dazzlingly colourful and pretty furious on the roads. This shot was taken at Lake Atitlán, San Pedro.”All photographs: Aubélia Louédin on Instagram

  • Lent and Easter celebrations

    “Guatemala is famous for its cuaresma (Lent) and semana santa (Easter) celebrations. Churches are decorated and families follow religious processions through the towns, often wearing traditional outfits, and with a cross painted on their foreheads.”

  • Antigua Guatemala

    “Antigua, in the central highlands of the country, is the former Spanish capital and has brightly painted and well-preserved baroque architecture, as well as a cool, creative vibe.”• Follow Aubélia Louédin on Instagram at instagram.com/obelie
