Rick Steves’ Fall 2026 Trip Report: Guatemala and El Salvador
Enjoy our live Monday Night Travel party with this video recorded on October 5, 2026.
Just back from an educational tour of Guatemala and El Salvador with Augsburg College, Rick reports on today's social and political realities there while exploring magnificent Mayan sites that flourished long before Columbus "discovered" America. We meet grassroots organizations working with migrants and Indigenous communities, see how farmers are using climate-smart agriculture to cope with global warming, wander fragrant markets, cook and drink Maya-style, and spend time with local peace and human-rights activists. It's a little reality travel south of the border on Monday Night Travel.
