Che in Guatemala

In the years after his first famous motorcycle trip, he would start another multi-country journey throughout south America. He lived in Guatemala for a few months, where he developed a greater political consciousness while witnessing the 1954 US CIA initiated Coupe de ta. He would leave Guatemala to flee political persecution under the new government. He would find safety in Mexico and for the first time meet a young Fidel Castro. (McCormick 341)
