Guatemala has the natural advantage of the climate of its tropical highlands and the natural disadvantage of that geography. It's a good place to grow specialized crops. We saw fields of flowers on the bus ride from Santa Apolonia. But ground transportation is difficult. Even on good roads, travel still involves winding up and down the hills and mountains.
And as at the orphanage, there might not be any way to get a vehicle with building materials to a construction site. The local women are carrying concrete block on their heads, sometimes along with a baby on their backs.
