ANTIGUA GUATEMALA, Guatemala — Un pulmino di pollo dietro il Mercado Municipal (mercato cittadino) di Antigua, Guatemala. Da questo ampio interscambio centrale di autobus, i percorsi si irradiano attraverso il Guatemala. Spesso verniciati con colori vivaci, gli autobus a base di pollo sono scuolabus americani adattati e forniscono un mezzo di trasporto economico in tutto il paese.

Photograph by David Coleman. Chicken buses, a quintessential part of Guatemala's transportation culture, line a bustling street in Antigua Guatemala. These vehicles, originally American school buses, have been given new life and vibrant personalities through extensive customization and decoration. Each bus is a unique work of art, painted in bold, eye-catching colors and patterns. Chrome accessories, from wheel covers to exhaust pipes, add a gleaming contrast to the bright paintwork. Names or phrases, often religious or sentimental in nature, are prominently displayed on the buses' sides or fronts. The buses stand ready to depart, their roofs often laden with luggage, produce, and other goods. Drivers and ayudantes (helpers) can be seen preparing for their routes or calling out destinations to potential passengers. The scene is a hive of activity, with locals and tourists alike navigating the colorful array of vehicles. Set against the backdrop of Antigua's colonial architecture, with its pastel-colored buildings and cobblestone streets, the chicken buses create a striking juxtaposition of old and new, traditional and modern. This vibrant form of public transportation not only serves a practical purpose but has also become an iconic symbol of Guatemalan culture and a popular subject for photographers and adventurous travelers.
