Border Wandering
We went to the border of Guatemala to check the restrictions after the recent opening. Also had a package to mail to a friend near Quetzaltenango. It was much easier to just carry it across and send it with a domestic package service.
Nothing much has changed. It’s still open and I crossed 3 times with no issues. There is no need to go through immigration and customs for local pedestrian traffic.
But I did talk with immigration to find out what is required if you want a legal entry Visa further into the country. In addition to the Mexico exit stamp in your passport they now also want a recent (72 hours) proof of a negative Covid-19 test result.
I also checked with Mexico. They want the same from Guatemala. In addition at the border you have to pass through SAT and they give you a piece of paper with basic info that you have to present to immigration in Ciudad Cuahuatemoc. Which is 4 kilometers from the actual border. Like Guatemala they don’t pay any attention to local traffic.
After which we checked out some of the other uncontrolled crossings before finally going to hang out at Lagos de Colon.

Another water entrance. It’s normal though with rainy season a bit higher 
Minnows nibbling. In Thailand or Playa del Carmen for this they charge a lot!
