Inside Guatemala’s Pimped Out Chicken Buses: Epic bus conversions and dangerous driving
Vložit
- čas přidán 22. 08. 2022
- Guatemala is famed for their iconic “chicken buses” (also known as camionetas)… but where do they come from? And how do these bus conversions take place?
Many thanks to Dave from Iguana Perdida for allowing us to use his song: laiguanaperdida.com/
For our latest documentary, we got under the bonnet of Guatemala’s camionetas.
Across several days, we travelled to a number of Guatemalan reconstruction garages to learn more about the art of transforming written off U.S school buses into Guatemalala’s public transport. Think bold lights, colours and chrome.
Find out about the fascinating process of transforming a bus and learn from the drivers about how difficult their work actually is.

I appreciate all these different stories and aspects of the cultures and countries that you visit. It's fascinating how a mundane job that we take for granted in the US has such a different life in Guatemala.
This is TOP notch quality right here!! I seriously thought I turned on the discovery channel or something for a second! 😆 Thanks for taking the effort to make this and share it!! 🙏
Awwww now that means a lot to hear. One can DREAM of Discovery channel one day ;)
Fascinating to see the buses being renovated and going on for decades, when you see the buses it seems a reasonable cost to pimp them up, super film.
Wow! Those buses are great! I love the fact that they keep going until they really break down! I think that sure is more ecological than making new once all the time!
Just came back from Guatemala.. I enjoyed chicken bus ride. These bus drivers have amazing driving skills in traffic. It was an experience
Okay you two...SENSORY OVERLOAD IN THE BEST WAY POSSIBLE 😍 there is so much to admire in your editing, filming, voice over, etc etc. You two are 100% without a doubt incredible and one of our favorites EVER!! Keep being amazing, and keep bringing what no one else does. Love it!
This honestly means so so much to us! We put a lot of work into making these docs, so to hear such nice words is really appreciated guys! PS we’re in Bali now, so let us know if you ever head down here!!! ♥️♥️♥️
@@Outlawes OMG BALI 😳🥰 we will absolutely keep you posted 😝 Bali has long been our dream destination. For the meantime, keep soaking up the sun out there and when we’re there you can take us to the best coffee and burger shops 😅
It's terrible and scary just to see crazy driving.Thank you for sharing the video. Have a happy weekend Friend
Wow what a great adventure in Guatemala, watching from Philippines🤩
Short and sweet! These buses remind me of the world war two jeeps from the Philippines, modified for public transport. Nicely done! I hope you two are doing well. Take care.
That was so interesting. Who would think driving such a colourful happy looking bus would be the most dangerous job in the world!
Hey guys! Where have you been?! Was just thinking about your channel and that last documentary on Puerto. Absolutely love Guatemala and the chicken busses. You really did a wonderful job of capturing this phenomenon as well as providing such great info and the music was the perfect compliment. Love the interviews and the depth of your experience sharing. Super professional work!
Hey hey Heidi and Adam ♥️ we had an absolute NIGHTMARE with our harddrives. All three of them broke and we had to get them sent off to recover the files (which took two months) Anyway, we’re back with a bang and have lots more fun stuff coming out. As always thanks for your support 🙌
This is awesome... Love the beautiful storytelling and high-quality filming you put into all of your work...big thanks 😊😊😊✌
Thankyou so much for tuning in! ♥️
The safe driving is really important!! Your life is only one!! I love this beautiful buses!! Thank you for sharing my friend!!👍👍
Very interesting to hear about the "chicken buses" in Guatemala. I enjoyed to the 6:38 end. Thank you my friend.
Wow! A very interesting video of the story of the iconic chicken bus. This is an excellent documentary. It's amazing!!
Another superb video graphical documentary of a South American insight into Guatemala's
Public Service, pimped and stunningly eye-catching "Camionetas", A.K.A. ‘Chicken Buses’.
The video shows how precarious & hazardous the roads are especially in rural areas, with the passengers seemingly not to be worried even when passing one of the many R.T.A's that occur on Guatemala's roads.
We love your short documentary guys, such an experience and adventure to travel Guatemala by bus. We loved the chicken busses but they were a bit dangerous indeed! Thanks for sharing more about it!
Thanks guys we love ya!
Another outstanding video guys, the style of these mini documentaries are second to none 👌. They should be on mainstream TV! This one was so interesting, we have never heard of the chicken buses, let alone about the plight of the drivers😳. You are very brave riding on one! None the less they are very cool. Thanks for sharing another masterpiece😊👌 Shell and Pete
Aww thankyou so much! Mainstream TV would be the DREAM… but we’ll just put that out into the universe and see where it takes us ;) it means a lot that you tuned in 🙏
🇻🇳Thank you my friend for sharing good video. I wish my friend a good and successful day. Greetings from Vietnam to you...👍👍
These are masterpieces. I remember taking pictures of them
Hello! Great video of my country! Just wanted to add we call them “canasteras” “baskets buses”
The fast paced of the city...awesome...
Thankyou!
I was on one of these buses from Guatemala city to Antigua...I was in fear for my life. An absolutely insane driver...
Yeah that will do it to ya!

I like the fact that you showed the place as it is. Great intro and looks familiar in some cases in India, i liked the buses. Street life is pretty much interesting stories and events
It’s not just Guatemala that uses chicken bus American school buses El Salvador , Honduras & Nicaragua as well.
