      I believe there are 30 churches in total but not all give service cause a couple are in ruins, during holy week its a Guatemalan Custom to visit all of them on foot and listen to Mass.

      Yeah!!! Southern Mexico and western Guate share the same culture, before the Spanish invasion, that region was united, no borders then…!!!! Tabasco, Chiapas and Soconusco, was part of Guatemala, but Mexico negotiated its acquisition, and all that land became part of Mexico…!! But the culture sort of remains the same…!!!!

    I was there this this past fall. It's one of my absolute favorite towns I've ever been to. You wouldn't expect it, but the restraunts and bars all have so much character when you look inside them.
    Not to mention, having a beer on a terrace at night with an active volcano just happening to go off is such a unique experience.
    Enjoy lake atitlan when you head there.

    Hi guys! Thank you so much for portraying our Latin American beautiful countries in a way that most everyone can understand and empathize with. Yesterday my husband and I, (husband is an Irish, light brown haired man with semi-long beard, long hair, green eyes, super-white man, and I'm a Chicana/ Mexican-American woman) walked into a bar (Lol,) it was a biker-type bar with nothing but white people in there. Inspite of me begging him not to, he put Vicente Fernandez's "Volver, volver," song in the jukebox because he and I both love that song, it's our song.. but anyways, one of the women employees at the bar yells out, "Who put on that guacamole?!"" I tried in a nice way to explain the beautiful words that the song was saying but she kept on laughing with the other bar tender about that "guacamole," song. I thought to myself that she must obviously not get out much, likely has not gone out of her comfort zone like a lot of us don't, likely doesn't think any other cultures outside of her own matter. While all this was happening I thought of you guys, lol. Thank you so much for educating others about how life outside of their own head can be like, how beautiful everyone's countries are and how they all matter. Thank you for taking your time to get to know the peoples of the land, their food and cultures. Thank you for respecting everyone, for respecting nature, and for promoting and encouraging others to do the same. Thank you for caring about the environment and for caring about the people's customs, culture, families, heritage and way of living. Hope you have a great time in Guatemala and wherever your new endeavors take you!

      Maribel! You brought me to tears. This is the reason we do this. To try to change people’s perspectives and for them to see there is so much more out there to learn from and be inspired by. I am so sorry this happened to you. It’s such a shame that some people don’t see those moments as an opportunity to get to know others and their beautiful culture. And instead of getting upset you tried to explain the beautiful lyrics. That just shows how wonderful of a person you are. Never stop playing your music and being proud of who you are! ❤️
