  • On my second day in Guatemala in partnership with the Real Intercontinental Guatemala we headed to Lake Atitlan to explore the town of San Juan La Laguna where we tried coffee, guatemalan snowcone and visited a textile factory!

    Today we head to Lake Atitlan one of the most beautiful lakes in the world! It took us 3 hours to drive from Guatemala City to Lake Atitlan. On the way we passed through Solola and hopped on a quick boat ride from Panajachel to San Juan La Laguna.
    San Juan La Laguna is famous for its painters, coffee and it's maya textiles. We first stopped at Cafe San Juan to drink a few different coffee roast. Maya coffee in San Juan La Laguna is unreal!
    Then we made our way through the town admiring the murals and galleries. We saw a vendor selling some incredible Guatemalan snow cones and I had to try it. They put roasted corn and lime mixed with a few other flavors and its so good!
    Lastly we stopped at Casa Flor Ixcaco to see how these Maya women weave these beautiful textiles. From scarfs, to t-shirts to even some incredible baby shoes. A must visit and you have to buy!!

    My wife, 3 year old son, and I were in San Juan last week and met Delfina and Miriam at Casa Flor Ixcaco. One morning they took us on a hike up the mountain to see where they are planning to put in a botanical garden and hopefully build and open a cafe. Delfina wound up carrying my son up the most treacherous parts of the trail, in spite of wearing flimsy slippers and a traditional dress and having her own daughter with her as well. These are truly amazing women doing truly amazing and beautiful art. I’m thrilled to see them featured here, along with Zacateo and his coffee. I spent a good amount of time in Cafe San Juan and went on a coffee tour with him at the end of the week. Also got to watch him do a bit of roasting, which he does about 20-25 feet from where you sit drinking the final product, admiring the beauty of the lake. It is indeed superb coffee! He also has a sign indicating he will ship anywhere in the world. And you also can’t beat their chocolate!

    I love that this video is such a great blend of food, culture, and a little bit of history as well! If I ever decide to get a used car, it looks like I know where to go! Your view of Lake Atitlan and the volcanoes from Mirador de San Jorge is absolutely stunning. I'm blown away by all of the beautiful textiles and artwork you got to see. It kind of reminds me of a market in Puerto Vallarta in Jalisco, Mexico, that I visited when I was a kid. There were so many gorgeous, hand-made things being sold by the vendors there that it was like sensory overload! I didn't know where to look next! The amount of work it must take to take the cotton, turn it into yarn, dye it, and then weave that yarn into high-quality blankets, clothing, bags, and so much else, is mind-blowing. The coffee there sounds out of this world! While I'm not a huge coffee person, I'll keep what you said in mind - If it needs sugar, it's not good coffee. 😂 And that snowcone would probably sound strange to most, but it looks so interesting! Corn and ice? I have to try that someday! You've released so many incredible videos that I'm sure I'm starting to sound like a broken record, but this is one of my favorites of yours, for sure. This one is next level!

    Unless you've been to Guatemala before, I don't recommend you drink anything with Guatemalan ice in these indigenous towns. The water is barely filtered. I know for a fact because I have family there and their water collecting drum is filled with flies constantly. You could drink it, but be prepared for a bad case of the runs for about a week. I only drink bottled water or hot street drinks. My stomach can take it since I go at least 2/3 times a year, but for someone going for the first time, I would advise against it.

    • @catkngs
      @catkngs Před 5 lety

      I completely agree. My husband and I have lived at Lake Atitlan for over 2 years now, specifically in San Juan for over a year. We still don't drink any water or ask for ice in town, unless bottled. Having said that, it is now mandatory for all towns to have purified water from the muni by end of year. So they are working on it, but even when the project is complete, you never know. I just wanted to add, so much of San Juan La Laguna was missed in this video. It has a lot more to offer and 95% of tourists always miss out.
