Guatemala—a Central American country of diverse landscapes, centuries-old architecture, unique villages and welcoming people—is the most populous country in Central America.
It is also home to Central America’s highest concentration of Mayan people—an ethnicity whose cultural traditions, colorful handicrafts and tasty cuisine continue to endure the onslaught of modern society.
Through presenter David Couzen’s music, photography and personal stories, journey with Senior Academy to explore Mayan villages, Lake Atitlán, formed in a massive volcanic crater, and the lavish Easter processions in the beautiful colonial city of Antigua and Tikal, the most famous of the Mayan ruins.
Photographer, lecturer, writer, composer, and musician David Couzens has traveled to nearly 40 countries as well as to the majority of US states and Canadian provinces.
In addition to his photography, David plays a variety of musical instruments, and his original musical compositions are blended into his live, narrated presentations. He has been regularly presenting programs of his photography and music throughout California and Oregon since 1998.
