Guatemala 🇬🇹 is a MUST IF you want to visit a beautiful country with more than 3000 years of history, culture, traditions and gastronomy. And their people will make you feel like you're one of them. They're super attentive, caring and warm.
@@p__jay noooooobody cares. That’s the beauty of traveling. You find out nobody actually fucking cares, and people typically understand we aren’t all native speakers of their language.
I appreciate Drew going to Guate, but how many times has he heard the correct pronunciation of 'mercado' and 'Atitlan'. How hard is it to remember how to pronounce it?
Guatemala is absolutely underrated! We loved it! And 7 days is not nearly enough time to explore this amazing country. You missed out on an epic experience by not hiking the Acatenango volcano. Sleeping on the volcano and watching Fuego erupt during the night is something we will never forget. If you plan to go back to Antigua, just have it in mind :) Also, the northern part of Guatemala with Tikal is also very cool to experience. We went there during the pandemic and had the place almost to ourselves. Restrictions are in place, but they are fully acceptable we think.
@Barbara Konchinski We won't lie, its a tough hike for sure! But if you are acclimated to the heights most people should be able to do it. And the reward for getting up there is epic!
@@suciomicerable If you drop over to our channel, we actually have a pretty detailed episode on our hike up the Acatenango. We went with a tour operator and they provided all the equipment needed. We each had to carry a small part of a tent, but 3 people slept in each tent. The hike began in the morning and we reached 'base camp' in the afternoon. There was good time to relax a bit before sunset. Have a great trip, we hope the weather is with you! :)
So true. Is so rich and beautiful the United Kingdom of Guatemala established since 1609 and that extends from El Soconusco (today Chiapas) to part of Panama. Guatemala is 12th producer of silver in the world and 20th producer of gold besides having massive reserves of nickel, jade and so many other natural resources too bad for almost a century big foreign multinational corporations have been taking almost everything for more than a century. The Malvinas belong to Argentina, The Esequibo belongs to Venezuela and Belice belongs to Guatemala. Guatemala exploited and sabotaged for almost a century but never gives up. God bless
Appreciate your visit to my country Guatemala 🇬🇹 I’m Guatemalan I live in Chicago for 30 years my family lives in the city of Guatemala and you are welcome as well thank you for visiting 🇬🇹🇬🇹🙏🏻🙏🏻

@@fairydust-ky4oc omgosh i’m so sorry i didn’t see this, you can sign up or tell others. it really depends. but there are websites and you would have to call ahead.
I don't remember the exact names. The ATV tour was based in Antigua, and the paragliding with based in Panajachel. The person who ran it was a guy by the name of Christian. Sorry I don't have more info on it.
Great video but you should note that it was taken before the pandemiac Right now things are different , Semana Santa (Holy Week) celebrations are cancel, the Pacaya volcano are closed to tourists. restrictions are in place.
You are right thank you for saying that! Guatemala has some restrictions but it’s still totally worth it to visit! I think that people that are traveling during COVID-19 season are fine with some restrictions in the places that they visit 😀🇬🇹
I just love those cone shaped volcanoes - I would love to try one of those volcano flavored marshmallows! The traditional clothes are so colorful. I have yet to visit Guatemala but I see that it is worth going

7 days is not a good advise to visit Guatemala...... I guess your video will be ending well just with the message 7 days will make you stay more.. Tobe there at list you need a month
Let me question something do you know where you will go after you die? If not let me say you can have a choice to either go to hell or heaven see 2000 years ago there was this man named Jesus who died on the cross for our sins and rose alive 3 days later all because he truly loved us he died for us so I question you now do you truly believe in Jesus or do you live for the world turn to Jesus Christ trust in him Christ has way much more to give than the world he loves us turn to Christ
@@pattylopez5356 you'r an awesome person, focusing on the positive things, good girl. So now to the pronunciation of 'mercado': it funny enough still sucks. Great video though :)

Couldn't agree more! The people are very passionate about their country and it makes for an awesome cultural experience.
I agree! Guatemala is beautiful and it has so much to offer! 🇬🇹😀
I was fortunate to have been born in Guatemala. I love the way you say Mercado 😁
Me too! I’m Guatemalan and I really liked this video! It’s awesome! 😀🇬🇹
He is just pronouncing it in US American English…it’s pretty bad imo!

Dope vid bro
You’re welcome to the carne asada my friend!
Beautiful
I wanna go back😭😭 I miss all my traditions maybe soon
Great vid bro new sub.
Appreciate it!
When did you go? Is it pretty open? Or are they very restricted?
I went before covid so I’m not exactly sure.
Do you have more videos of Guatemala?
Very informative video! Thank you for sharing this with us.
What bag are you using for travels?
Have you tried using a duffle bag for your travel? I recommend using the Bento Bag from Nomad Lane.
Thank you!
That’s a great internary what island is better to stay that got party?
The lake doesn't have a huge night life scene. However Panajachel or San Juan do have some cool bars where you can stay late depending on the night.
What was the name of the company you booked the paccaya volcano tour with?
Can you share the tour guide or name of the shop where you rented atv from ?
Lovely
Thanks for the information do you know how much is a taxi or uver from the airport to Antigua Guatemala.
Why avoiding the city?
Like 👍🏻 115 here in NYC 🗽 nice video thanks for sharing

Hey I’m going next month, what they ask before you travel to guate?
You will just need to have a negative COVID-19 test to present in Guatemala’s immigration at the airport. Have a wonderful trip!😀🇬🇹
How much you spent?
I was thinkin the same thing
Buen video.
:D saludos desde guatemala!
Good video.
Thank you so much!
What are your tips for not getting sick from the food & water thank you!
Just make sure to buy bottled water and be smart with the food!
When I have been in Guatemala I have never been sick of eating or drinking water; fast food like McDonald's and Burger King makes me so sick. Guatemala is so beautiful, rich, unique and magical. I am dying to visit Guatemala again
💖🇬🇹😍
😀🇬🇹
Two questions how and how much was parachuting at the lake?
Paragliding was around $100
@@DrewAddis but where in the lake did you get the company to that?
@@superipodmanvik It was in Panajachel
would you recommend a car rental?
It depends on what you want to do but I probably wouldn't. It's less to worry about when you are there.
Again nobody mentioned rental cost.
How long was the hiking to up to top volcano?
You can't go all the way to the top but the hike was about 1-2 hours to where you can roast marshmallows. It depends how in shape you are.
There are also different kind of hiking tours, you can choose one that fits to your schedule. It’s one of the most beautiful hiking places! 😀🇬🇹🥰
Uhm…. 2:43 seconds in on day two you said no tourists and there definitely was one to the right of the screen… lol
Nice 👍👍👍
Thank you!
