About the Author
At the age of three, Al Argueta first traveled to Guatemala with his father and was utterly captivated by the countrys landscape and its Mayan inhabitants. He would later live in Guatemala for two years, allowing him to formally learn Spanish and to experience Guatemalas culture firsthand. During summers in high school and college, Al often took a month off to travel to Guatemala, exploring its jungles, ruins, and villages.
In college, Al majored in Journalism and Latin American Studies, managing to squeeze in two study-abroad programs?one in Manchester and one in Maastricht?and traveled through much of Europe. After college, he interned with Costa Ricas
Tico Times, getting his first exposure to travel writing and photography, in addition to covering then-President Bill Clintons visit to Guatemala. Al worked briefly for a newspaper in the Virgin Islands before moving on to photography school in Hawaii. He also taught English to college students in Thailand for a time, continuing to satiate the travel bug that bit him years back.Al now lives in Austin, Texas, where hes managed to stay put for an unprecedented six years. In addition to writing, he does freelance travel photography for clients that have included
National Geographic Adventure, Caribbean Travel & Life, Condé Nast Traveler, Outsides GO, and Continental. In addition to Moon Guatemala, Al is also the author of Moon Living Abroad in Guatemala and Texas Yesterday & Today.For the latest updates from Guatemala, visit
