Antigua Guatemala Chicken Bus on Cobblestone Street

A Chicken Bus in Antigua Guatemala
A brightly decorated "chicken bus", a repurposed North American school bus, navigates the cobblestone streets of Antigua Guatemala. These buses are a primary mode of public transportation throughout Guatemala and other parts of Latin America, often serving as vibrant, mobile community hubs. The "chicken bus" tradition reflects a resourceful approach to transportation, with each bus uniquely adorned by its owners, showcasing local artistry and pride. In the background, the Agua Volcano looms, a constant geographical presence over the historic city.
