Two men walk, in the morning, along the road to Chicoy, in the Alta Verapaz region, some 180km, (110 miles), from Guatemala City, December 20, 2012. This week, at sunrise on Friday, December 21, an era closes in the Maya Long Count calendar, an event that has been likened by different groups to the end of days, the start of a new, more spiritual age or a good reason to hang out at old Maya temples across Mexico and Central America.
