Antigua is one of Guatemala's most popular tourist destinations, and when you take a walk down its cobblestone streets it is easy to see why. Antigua, Guatemala is truly a city like no other!

#Antigua #Guatemala #TravelVlog
Guatemala, Nicaragua, Panamá, Costa, Rica, Honduras, El Salvador. These are all incredibly beautiful, visually stunning, places that are so replete with vibrant culture, delicious food, and majestic architecture. It absolutely infuriates me how the media portrays these countries as havens for drug dealers and street gangs. These are vile, racist stereotypes that are perpetrated by Western media. It would greatly behoove them to explore these countries in much depth. I always greatly enjoy your videos.
I'm going to all those countries except Panama in April, and am looking forward to all they have to offer.
Nicaragua 🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮
In some way is true but also we can not ignore the real problem that is violence of Gangs in big urban areas, about all that what you describe , i think some have this and some that , in the Honduras case the violence is a Serious problem , and has to offer Bay islands and copan , , El Salvador has also the Pacific beaches , , Nicaragua has Leon [ a colonial city ] and again some pacific coast , , and then we have Costa Rica with Nature in pacific coast , Volcanoes like Irazu , the Rain Forest and Limon in the Caribean Coast , and Guatemala with Rain Forest , Highlands , Pacific Coast [ el Paredon , Iztapa,Oceana , Monterrico Natural Reserve , Las Lisas } , Lakes Like Atitlan ,Peten Itza , IZABAL , and the Caribean coast and cultural Garifuna Town of Livingstone , Precolumbian Heaven like Tikal , Mirador, Quirigua, Takalik Abaj [Olmec -Maya], and the most Beautyful Colonial spanish time City of Antigua , and dont forget Guatemala City , at the end many Tourists go for the GUATEMALA -COSTA RICA , OR VISCEVERSA]. BUT YES EVERY cOUNTRY HAS ITS OWN ENCHANTMENT .
We should reunite as the Federation of Central America... Cheers
« Guilt belongs to the church » lol! Great video
It is my understanding is that during Holy Week and Lent, the city of Antigua comes alive with a parade and festivities. Apparently, Easter and Good Friday are big holidays in Guatemala.
Such a fun video. Having lived in Guatemala, that spoon situation is literally the country summed up in a nutshell. Attention to detail and frugality is such a part of the culture. I truly love it and really appreciated you capturing the cultural clash in this video. I have to say y'all handled it professionally, despite it seeming a bit silly. I think that's what being a good guest is all about ❤️🇬🇹
Hahaha, funny and interesting story about the "spoon" however, I know you understand the guy calling you might have been the person in charge of kitchen utensils and if he can't find the spoon he has to pay for that, I don't know but, might be the answer behind that issue. Hope you are having a great time in Antigua and Guatemala in general. Thank you again for the beautiful video and hope you come back soon. Blessings.
Funny story about that spoon! A bit ridiculous from the Airbnb owner I should say! But a great video as usual Dan ! Thanks !!
The Brotherhood of the traveling spoon!!!! 🤣
Thank you for shedding more light on "Fair Trade" - I remember you said you had something in the works about it when I asked a couple of months ago.
Is there a way to be reasonably sure that the coffee we buy in the US or Canada is really helping the farmers in a "fair" way??
I remember when I started a tour in Antigua in 2019, I arrived in the evening, and by the time the driver got through the incredible traffic in Guatemala City, it was dark when I arrived in Antigua. Next morning, I went up to the rooftop breakfast area and my jaw just dropped to see the beauty of the town and the surrounding mountains and volcanos (one of which was belching smoke!). My Intrepid tour of Central America in April will start in Antigua, so it will be nice to visit again, even if only for a day.
It's an important question and one I don't have a satisfying answer to. All I could learn from Fernando on that note was that you want a cafe that has a short supply chain, so it's closer to buying direct. But I'm not sure how realistic it is to ask every coffee shop I go to about their supply chain lol. I just hope that with a bit more attention on the problems of "fair trade" we can move to a more transparent system
What's the name of the place where they wanted the spoon back ?It looks nice.
Really nice video. Guatemala is fantastic! You need to visit Pantanal, Bonito(mato grosso) and Iguaçu waterfall, it would be nice to see you enjoying the nature of Brazil 🇧🇷
Do you have to have the covid vaccine to enter the country?
Interesting history about Antigua Dan! Thanks for sharing
HOMAIGAD...BONITO VIDEO DE MI PAIS....TE FELICITO..BRODER..POR HABLAR BONITO DE MI GUATELINDA..BENDICIONES..A TI SALUDES
.DE LOS ANGUELES..VIVA ,,GUATEMALA..MI CIUDAD...HERMOSA..
I've watched almost all of your Guatemala videos these past couple of days, someone posted the one in which you went to the central market on Guatemala's subreddit. I really like your story telling and how you have portrayed the country in a very fair way, without hiding the rough spots but also highlighting many of the things that can make someone fall in love with the place. I am born and raised in Guatemala City so your videos felt like a very close portrayal of living there, bouncing between different zones, going from something fancy in Zona 10 to something more traditional in other places and sometimes turning the corner and finding you in a completely different kind of place you were just a few blocks away.
😍🇬🇹J’aime Le Guatemala 💪🏻Je Suis Guatemalteque
Que bueno que admires la grandeza de la belleza de la linda GUATEMALA unica 👌👏🥳
Antigua looks great, Dan! Thanks for the video. I have a feeling I'm gonna make it there in the next year. And yo... you got some big feet dude! haha. I can't believe how petty that Airbnb host is! I understand doing inventory and making sure no one stole stuff, but a spoon is clearly just an honest mistake. Cheers!
Excelente video, esa cuchara si que tiene su historia....jajajajaja.....saludos desde Ciudad de Guatemala.
You were right, Dan, it was a lot of fun and Antigua is a lovely place.
Minute 16:05 it's amazing the beauty of Antigua Guatemala, the flowers and the plants look so beautiful. ..May be in the future I'll get to know that place ..from New York thamks the upload of that beatiful video..
Let’s better understand the story of the spoon. People that work at those places are responsible for all utensils, upon conducting an inventory if anything is missing, guest what? they can either be accused of taking hotel property home or the spoon price could be deducted from their salaries. Either way, perception is not in their favor and by returning the spoon his name and character as an honest person is clean and clear.
Not a Spoon Thief! Really great video!!
🥄
your so freaking beautiful dude 🤙🏼
😂😂 Great spoon story!! I mean, Antigua Story LOL.
Gracias por siempre... excelente tus vídeos de la antigua
That spoon should be a silver. That is why he wants it back.
Gracias x visitar a guate soy su nuevo seguidor🇬🇹🇺🇸
Congratulations, what a great video of Antigua and I really enjoyed the spoon story. I hope you can do another video of Antigua, you really do a very nice job.
🐢 Looks like a cool city thanks for showing me around
The guy in red speaking Spanish is freakin hilarious. "Muy bueno experience" ROFL. Gringo fail.
It was a little funny but at least he's trying.
I love Antigua Guatemala. It is such a peaceful place. The weather is so nice most of the time and the people are so welcoming. Every time I go to Guate I try to visit Antigua.
Why did he wait so long to return the spoon? Why didn't he just mail it back since he obviously didn't want to pay for the set. It's funny that the one spoon isn't very valuable to him. Though it was too valuable for him to by a set...
Exactly! Honestly sometimes gringos seem too entitled when visiting 3th world countries.
He accidentally stole the effing spoon, he is in the wrong, why be petty about it?
Just because a spoon is insignificant to a 1th world country person it doesn't mean that the object will be as "insignificant" in the rest of the world.
Some gringos are just clueless
Wow. It has been awhile since I have tuned into you.
You have matured into an outszanding youtuber.
Congrats!
Thank you Maryanne! Trying my best
Opa Brasil aqui 🇧🇷
Opa Brasil aqui 🇧🇷
What a cheap guy Francisco is , asking for a little spoon , but the rest of the video is magic and like all DAN Videos , ESPECTACULAR.
I'm in Antigua! Your videos have been so helpful while I was researching. Thank you so much! I'd love to grab coffee if you're still in town.
Dan, nice video. I like what the Fair Trade guy says from about 4:50 to 6:30 ! And, how he says it ! LOL !
Do I dare say this with the best of intentions? Please be careful about jerky camera moves and abrupt zooming.
Enjoyable video!
Yeah some of the camera work in this wasn't my best. I'll try to get steadier shots in the future
Amazing video, including the spoon 😜
Do you plan to visit Brazil some day?
I've been there :) Check out my Travel Brazil playlist 🇧🇷

Love seeing all your videos about Guatemala!! My children and I will be heading to Guatemala next month to meet some of our family for the first time❤
Wow 😮 que emoción!!
Nice video Dan, we're considering a trip to Guatamala this next July and researching different cities. -Marc
I'll be there in June 2022, cant wait. Thanks for sharing dude.
love antigua
Next time go to Quetzaltenango Xela , the best Airbnb CASA CÚBICO Loft privado 2 rooms /2 bathrooms in the mountains, close to everything … Beautiful
Just returned from a trip to ANTIGUA, and it is a simply magical city. The food, architecture and above all, the people, are not to be missed.
Always be careful. Anywhere you go. North America . Latin America etc.
🐢I LOVE THE CITY🐢
Thank you for sharing with us 👋
Nice video of my country, thanks ❤
And sorry for the spoon owner, next time only try to realize the truth: THERE IS NO SPOON
Antigua is soooo overrated. It's beautiful, don't get me wrong, but really. I was raised in Guatemala City in a house with two patios, de los patrones y el del servicio, the churches near me, La Merced, Santo Domingo, Catedral, Candelaria, etc. have all the original paintings and sculptures that were brought over in the 1700's, not reproductions like in Antigua. The old city is so much more interesting than any other place south of Mexico City and north of Lima.
A little juicy gossip. I know who the owner of the Airbnb is. He is a tyrant tightwad who owns more than one of those places in Antigua. I'm not surprised about the whole spoon screwball story. (Last name Cohen) LOL. ¡Saludos y gracias por el vídeo pues lo disfruté bastante!
Great video! In the beautiful town of Antigua. By the way, it was nice to see our good friend Francisco from Fearless Journeys! Saludos!
BIG THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO WITH A BACKGROUND HISTORY. WELL DONE. ANTIGUA IS LIKE NO OTHER.
YOU ALWAYS TRAVEL BACK IN TIME WHEN VISITING
WINDOW TO THE PAST
POLLO CAMPERO BEST CHICKEN IN THE WORLD!
My shoe size is 46.5 and I'm Guatemalan. I can tell you that you can bigger sizes there.
I am on my way to Antigua soon! Thank you so much for this video!
Primera vez, que veo sus videos, y pues mi país Guatemala en Centro América, es así, con diferentes culturas mayas, y pues sean bienvenidos a Centro América.
I invested in vechain but it lost me money so I have shib and sand now. It’s nice to know that it’s being use in place like Guatemala. Crypto is the future.
Nice people like u guys welcome anytime in my hometown Guatemala it's beautiful
That Fernando guy seems pretty cool. Definitely, want to stop in for a cup when I visit Antigua.
Hi Dan i from antigua, Guatemala but i have 35 years living, in the United States my hope returns to my country soon
I’m in Antigua now studying Spanish. Such a fun town
Awesome I’m looking to retire and move to Guatemala
U lived in both montreal and calgary could you advice me on where i should move please
Pinché bronca será latinoamericanos
I like your video guys 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Antigua Guatemala and San Cristobal de las Casas, Mexico are 2 similar cities, in fact they are sister cities.
Which location has cheaper rent and better food!?
You need to go and film. Semana Santa. If you haven’t done it yet!!
Bendita seas Guatemala,País de la Eterna Primavera
I thought you were in Colombia
I am. Behind on my vids by a couple months 😆
Tha ` s an amazing city ...great Vid...!!!
Eso fue solo por supertision. Tiene que ver con la suerte
🐢
🐢
this spoon drama has to be one of the greatest stories ever on YOutube.
No vamos ala guerra los mejores kaibiles
Lovely country. Lovely people.
The famous Antigua spoon. WoW
Sergio was crying❤️😂👏
The spoon 😂
GREAT video. Perhaps, I missed it but do you have the name or link to the AirBNB that you visited ?
Awesome Video!!!
If you are in Antigua, you want to stay in hotel Casa Santo Domingo, it is worth it the price. They have two swimming pools. One for families with kids and one for adults only. You can reserve a hot-tub room for 30 minutes. But Antigua is just beutiful city to walk and enjoy. Definitely bring a nice comfortable shoes to walk around otherwise you will have sore feets.
🐌 isn't a turtle but...
The spoon story, has everything to do with the owner of the place, absolutely nothing to do with his/her employees.
The owner clearly a penny pincher represents him/herself.
The common people are hard working and honestly friendly.
Just wish such tag "spoon story" will not be attached to the common people, it's unfair from all angles and totally undeserved, ask anyone who's stayed for more than a couple of weeks in the country.
"The country of the eternal spring" (El Pais de la eterna primavera) has a lot to offer in kindness, hospitality, friendliness...
Hi Dan. I am glad to support your RUclips Channels through Patreon (finally).
Please see the brief message that I sent to you on Patreon.
Cheers!
Thank you for visiting Guatemala! Are you Canadian?
Yes I am!
@@TheNewTravel Cool! You will always be welcome to Guatemala!!
🇬🇹🤜🤛🇨🇦
That spoon story goes the same for Cuba. Replacing something missing is almost impossible.
Antigua, hermosa ciudad de nuestro querido vecino Guate.
Wrong spoon
👍👍👍👍👍
You have the same problem I face living here, since it's always hard to find shoes of my size. Greetings from Puerto Barrios. I have just find your channel, and it's good. Thank you for sharing.
🐢
I loved your videos🥰
Thank you!
Amo que ames lo que amamos . Y me encanta que ames mi país
Felicidades nací en latinoamerica :(
I like all ur videos👍👍👍👍👍
Lovely city !!
Went there and it was kind of boring. You should visit Cusco, Peru and you will see what a real colonial city is.
God broo, Each country has its own! 😐
Hi Dan. Great video.
I know you’re not currently in Guatemala so I’ll give you my honest opinion of Antigua. I was there almost exactly 2 years ago. Feb. 2020, just before Covid hit.
I loved Guatemala City. It’s a very real place. Antigua struck me as artificial. It’s 100% geared towards tourism and such places rub me the wrong way. Yes, it’s beautiful. It’s also overpriced, overcrowded, and the restaurants automatically add their tips to the bill. There are people who like places like Antigua but I was there for only 3 days and that was enough for me.
The story of the shoes made me laugh. I live in Mexico but I buy all my shoes when I visit the US because my size doesn’t exist in Mexico.
P.S. I’m now a subscriber to The New Travel but I didn’t see my name floating next to your head. Hmmmm…….
Hahaha my bad Joseph, I'll be sure to update the names floating by my head before the next one 😂
And about Antigua + tourism... you know, I think it was probably more crowded pre-covid because I didn't find it overcrowded when we went. I agree with you that some of the restaurants there are a rip off. We had some great meals though :)
@@TheNewTravel I'm sure the city is much less crowded since Covid. When I was there it was overflowing with the sort of people who wouldn't set foot in Guatemala City.
ok. I'll look for my name next time. I subscribed because I really support what you do. 😉
I lived in Guatemala for a couple years and really didn't like Antigua the first few times I visited (same feeling about it being artificial). My feelings gradually changed as I began visiting with local friends and they took me to places that felt much more authentic and special. It took a lot of time to find those spots!
Jejjjejj. G mom. Soponcio. Jejejj. Saluds
Man I thought about retiring there but those huge gigantic sinkholes really scare me. Imagine sleeping at 3am and your whole house sinks 300 feet into the ground. Scary
