How precious a time you must have had here during this celebration of life and honouring those who have died. I am familiar with the feast days on the 1st and 2nd of November but have never experienced them celebrated so beautifully. I can only imagine how treasured these memories are for you. Stunning display and great video recording. Loved it a lot. Your heritage is definitely a living part of you Giorgio. 🥰👍🎥🥳❤️🙋♀️
Ooo thank you! Yes, it was so amazing being there and experience this festival tradition. Next time we are back in Guatemala we want to visit the kite festival in Santiago 🙂
What a great vlog! I love all the beautiful, colorful kites and seeing all of the traditional outfits! I'm definitely adding this festival to our bucket list!
I am also Guatemalan and was lucky to attend the festival in 2019. Watching this beautifully made video of the festival brought back so many memories. Today, I am sharing it with my Spanish class in Australia. Well done for portraying the festival and Guatemalan culture in a genuinely positive light.
Wow! This was incredible and looked like so much fun! Hopefully the world can enjoy celebrations like this again soon! I love the colors! So amazing! What a great experience! Thanks for sharing!
Yes, it was such an amazing day! Don't think this festival will happen this year but hopefully next. Maybe you can plan a trip to Guatemala when this festival is happening 😊
What colourful and nice cemetery, it really stands out. Kites looked so giant and amazing. I would love to try black tortilla and have some delicious tacos.
It's such an amazing event! If you have the chance you should definitely go and explore Guatemala when this festival is. Giorgio is obsessed with black tortilla ⚫
Such a colourful giant kite festival. I never heard or saw about such festivals. But it looks amazing. I would like to be part of this festival. Have fun guys!
Awesome footage and tips! It was great to see all the colorful kites and learn more about their festival and the history behind it. The food looked amazing so jealous about the tacos :)
All that street food looks amazing! The cemetery does look beautiful. I love all the colours. I love the idea behind the kite festival and I love how much detail has gone into every individual kite. They're so beautiful! Tacos are always a good idea, hehe. I love the huge owl kite. Wow, 90,000 people! What a turn out.
The kite festival is so beautiful! The mix of food, colours, culture, history and positive energy is amazing! We really recommend you to visit it if you decide to travel to Guatemala 🇬🇹 💙
OMG, it looks so colorful and eye-catching! Street food are delicious too, I guess. Those giant kites are also good. Too many interesting things in this video. Thanks for your efforts doing this!
Thank you so much for watching our video! 💙 This festival is amazing and if you have the chance to travel to Guatemala do it when this festival is happening!
In Niigata, Japan, they celebrate something similar. During Golden Week a Kite Battle is taking place. But this one in Guatemala looks also very nice. And really colorful.
@@DreamyTravelStory Those weird figures on those kites are really fascinating, that giant cat kite, those human and animal faces and sometime its human faces in animal figures. Really I loved it. But will these giant kites really fly high up, as I am seeing only small kites flying high.
@@tracingmyfootsteps Apparently some of the big kites are just there for display, but some of the big ones should be able to fly. The problem was that it was not very windy that day and it started to rain in the late afternoon so they had to protect them from the rain.
What a colorful town and festival but... no drinks? come on! It's a festival. This video is even more meaningful now as events and crowds like that are or...were...amazing. Who knows when you will be able to experience something like that again.
Geez the colors are so vibrant and right along with your channel theme it seems. The market you pass through looks amazing, it makes me super hungry late at night haha. I can't believe how colorful that cemetery is. Looks like y'all got to see some good stuff. Love breakfast tacos! -c/t
From all your videos, this just looks like such a colourful country - and it lot's of ways! Being a part of the festivals looks like a truly wonderful experience. Really nice for me to learn about the festival!
omg i saw a documentary of this festival on TV so cool you could experience it live. Good to know you can hire a private driver and have more time to experience the festival.
Love that you're investigating the country where your roots are and also participate to ecologic projects :) the festival looks insane, so many colours and so much tradition... love it! Thanks also for all the information :)
To go back and explore Guatemala has been an amazing experience for Giorgio! Guatemala is such a colourful country, and this festival was definitely on of the highlights of our trip.
What a beautiful and colorful festival.. Thanks for explaining the meaning behind the kites.. It must have been surreal to be there in person to experience the event. Glad you were able to check that off your bucket list! By the way, I thought it was funny to see the roasted pig wearing the sunglasses then I saw the one drinking the beer too! Lol! All the food looked amazing too!
We love Guatemala 🇬🇹💙 Where in Guatemala are you from? Have you ever been to the kite festival in Sumpango? We have more videos from Guatemala here if you want to check them out: ruclips.net/p/PLbbbuIvTy3asAUbvmHJ92vEF0Uyqlk0wM
That is absolutely beautiful! I'd never even heard of a kite festival before but after googling, this one comes up as one of the top 5 in the world! Was this filmed recently? That's a lot of people, just wondering if health was a concern or are things pretty steady in Guatemala regarding the pandemic?
This is filmed last year. We spent 8 months in Guatemala so we are releasing many videos from our travel there. Guatemala has been more or less in lockdown since mid March so probably this festival won't happen this year because of the pandemic 😢
What a beautiful with awesome kites! I really like the red owl, that one was really nice. Not sure if I could handle the crowd... Did you not stay to see the big kites go up?
Maybe you could enjoy it from the restaurant if you don't want to be in the crowd 😊 It started to rain so everybody left the festival area, but we also heard that some kites are just there for display and are not possible to fly. We plan to visit the festival again in the future so then we hopefully can see some of the bigger kites fly 😊
Very cool that you were in Guatemala for their Dia de los Muertos like we were in Mexico for theirs! Bet that corn tastes better than the corn I smoked on the grill the other night, lol. Those tacos look so tasty! April loves owls, so that part is especially cool. And the colors--they are incredible! Are you two wearing matching shirts?? ;-) We hope to attend this someday; it seems pretty magical! It was not too hot then?
We love your video from Dia de los Muertos in Mexico! It is on our bucket list! We agree, the owl is amazing but our favourite is the big "doll" 😊 It was very hot but luckily we could sit in the restaurant terrace that had a roof that protected us from the sun. It would have been tough spending all day in direct sunlight 🌞 Haha, yes sometimes we like to dress similar. Instead of matching camping track suits we are wearing red vintage shirts 😂
Hopefully you drank a lot of water, lol. We sweated so much in Mexico! Did y'all in Guatemala? LOL, that's fun to do...sometimes we matchy-match on accident! 😄

That was so wonderful to see my friends. I can't wait to see more of your videos.
We will make a video about Finca as well 😘
That walking street with those road side shops are amazing. Innovative kite designs
Which one was your favourite kite design? 😊

It was amazing! We loved every second of it! 💙 Would love to watch the documentary of the kite festival!
I am not festival-type person to be honest but this one looks really interesting :) :) and even in Guetamalan, it must be great experience :)
If you have the chance to go we definitely recommend it even if you are not a festival type person! 🙂

now it's fine, and this will be done in a few days, basically nob 1 and 2 november

Is this around the same time as the feast of the dead in Mexico? I love those kites and a great way of celebrating it.
Yes, it's celebrated the same days in Guatemala and Mexico, 1 and 2 of November 😊
The kites are huge. It is such a waste of they are burnt after the festival. Would love to see them fly.
Yes, we agree with you! They don't burn them all but even a single kite is a waste 😢
Very cool that you were in Guatemala for their Dia de los Muertos like we were in Mexico for theirs! Bet that corn tastes better than the corn I smoked on the grill the other night, lol.

@Go Travel On The Cheap Haha, yes we were sweating a lot. Me more than Giorgio because he's a Mayan and I'm a Viking. Haha.
Hahaha!
Are you Guatemalan or hispanic/latino Giorgio?
Guatemalan (Maya) but raised in Italy so unfortunately I don't speak Spanish.
how did my spanish teacher find this
We are not really sure what to answer 😊
