I have visited Guatemala 5 times and would again in a heartbeat. The people, the landscape, the adventure, the culture, the laughter, life and nature, its the most beautiful country in the world in my opinion! Love to Guatemala from Canada!
THANKS FOR DISCOVERING GUATEMALA. GUATEMALA IS NOT FOR EVERYBODY, IT IS FOR THE CRITICAL THINKER...ITS FULL OF COLOR AND ZEST: LIKE THE MARIMBA MUSIC, THE HANDCRAFTS AND THE KINDNESS OF ITS PEOPLE. WE ARE A VERY FRIENDLY AND THANLFUL COUNTRY FOR THOSE WHO VISIT US. GUATEMALA IS AN UNIVERSE IN ITSELF!
Hun Nal Ye is hands down the most beautiful and most underrated place we have. Take it from me, I've been travelling across the country all my life. Also, you should visit Ram Tzul while you're here! Just as underrated and more accessible than Hun Nal Ye.
***** Cyprus belongs to Cyprus, because it's inhabited by Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots. Constantinople/Istanbul should stay where it is. If it was given back to Greece, then all the cities that had been conquered in the past (they are *a lot*) should be given back to where they originally belonged, which is pointless. That's not how history works :)
hahaha that's awesome. I was born and raised in Guatemala, my uncle (married to my Guatemalan Aunt) was born and raised in Greece, and my wife is Greek as well. Greetings!
9:55 I'm from Mexico and it's true, lot's of my fellow citizens think very badly about guatemalans. In fact, a large part of the mexican population discriminates every central american citizen for no good reason, but hate it when the USA discriminate us. I think that's sad, Guatemala is one of my favourite places on Earth, there are some mexicans like me that appreciate a lot Guatemala and the rest of Central America. We love you! :D
Marco Garrido very true! It's hypocritical how some Mexicans treat Central Americans and it's worse than the US against Mexico because we are practically related. We are very similar to each other in so many ways.
Indeed, they don't realize that the only difference between us is that we were born in different countries, so it's just a political division, because socially & culturally we are the same people :/
Marco Garrido a veces es de cura wey mas por el hecho de que antes Guatemala era de Mexico y le dicen Chiapas del Sur. A unos paises centroamericanos les decimos provincias rebeldes por que se separaron tambien
One of the main reasons Mexicans despise of Guatemalans in a general sense, is that while Mexicans feel they got robbed of their northern territory by the Americans, Mexicans feel they got betrayed of their southern territory by Guatemalans. Punishable by a lifetime of scorn.
I used to live in Guatemala, Guatemala, Guatemala. My driver's license had my address in the back and yes, it ended with Guatemala, Guatemala, Guatemala. Also, your first and almost only picture of Guatemala city is actually a picture of Antigua, Sacatepequez.
I'm Guatemalan and you did a great job! Just a minor note, but Antigua is pronounced Ahn-tee-gwa. You pronounced it more like the Portuguese word Antiga. Also you should have added Luis Von Ahn to the list of famous Guatemalans! He is the creator of Captcha and the founder of Duolingo. Still you got 99% of the important stuff and you even name-dropped Quetzalteca so I'm really impressed!
Money Jordan and Italian like myself 😄 there are wide range of Europeans. There's a large Greek population, many people mixed with Swedish and Nordic countries. Guatemala is very diverse.
yes i figured. i met a white girl in high school. i couldn't believe she was guatemalan full blonde. she had a villege guatemalan spanish accent, which was very cute.
I had been waiting for this one for a while. I'm half Cuban, half Guatemalan. Now both my of parents countries have had videos done. Thank you so much.
Same here bro. I am from Guatemala. My native language is K'iche'. There are over 1 million and a half native speakers here. Great to know that you speak Yukateko!
@@minuteflag9278 Tbf I'm not an ethnic mayan, in fact I'm probably whiter than the average Mexican, I'm from Merida, the biggest city of the peninsula and also a city historically known for being an Spaniard and Criolle city trying to isolate itself from the mayan population as much as possible, my main language is spanish, I mainly just learned it because many people in the towns of the peninsula speak it and thought it would be cool
Teddy Roosevelt im Guatemalan and Actually is a radical minority of Beilzeans who hate Guatemalans, and a radical minority of Guatemalans who hate Belizeans, the rest of us dont care of those claims of land in belize, they have been of belize more time that guatemalan, and theres no guatemalans there so the claims dont make sense any more, and guatemalans and belizeans treat each other respectfully, but i understand the confusion, because obviously the news dont show guatemalans and belizeans being friends becuas that isnt interesting for them, and they prefer to make us be seen all as warmongers who want to opress a civilization, when that is the most far from the truth
God Bless my Country 🇬🇹 Also for anyone from Guatemala 🇬🇹 Honduras 🇭🇳 and El Salvador 🇸🇻 Be proud to be from their and don't let Americans make you wish you were Mexican 👍
Yes brother, god bless your country and every country on earth . I am from India (Asia). I found that central American culture is extremely diverse just like Indian cultures. Today, people in India speak different languages and we have tried to preserve our cultures even after independence from Englishmen . I am extremely fascinated about the mayans, and would love to learn a mayan language someday. Lots of love to Guatemala 😊.
What a great video! I am from Guatemala and I am impressed by your ability to cover content that matters so accurately! and with a great sense of humor! keep up the good work :)
JJ Alvarafo: "Well, it wasn't complete, but the information he gave wasn't misleading as well. And very respectful too." That's all Barby wants to do. And he doesn't want to disrespect ANY nationality; note he tries to be as respectful to Mexicans and Belizeans and he does to Guatemalans in this episode. That last part will make the Israel episode a real challenge.
I studied abroad in Guatemala for a month and it was very life changing and eye opening, nothing but good vibes and adventure I can’t wait to go back!!!
I think Guatemala is perhaps the most breathtaking and gorgeous country I`ve traveld to and through; cultural, natural, historical, adventurous, the gorgeous people; it has everything! btw, I`m a Dutchie, living partly in Mexico and partly in Spain/Canarias :)
I understand what you tiped but i cant answer. My tip is lago atitlan for sure ! Most relaxed and cheap and interesting. And flores close to tikal. So nuce
I'm apparently part Mexican but I'd rather much be called Guatemalan myself and it pisses me off if someone called me Mexican hell I'm more Honduran then Mexican
Guatemalan over here✌🏻 ... love the rich history and many cultures from Guate, to the many people of this world if you can visit you will not regret 🇬🇹
I lived in Guatemala for 2 years and loved it. I've been back several times. The locals are very friendly and helpful, and Quetzaltenango and Pana are m favorites. The Gov is horrible, though especially towards the {vast majority} mixtos and mayans.
Half my family is in Guatemala. I'm glad I'll be one of the only ones in my whole family to soon graduate a university in the United States. Watching this video made me want to visit my family because I have never been outside of Arizona.
Mi profesor es de Guatemala. Ella es muy simpática, muy divertida en nuestra clase. She makes me curious of this underrated country. Love from Philippines 😃
Amazing that a Guatemalan made its way to the Philippines, I've always been amazed at how similar names and stuff is between Latin America and the Philippines. Your country is really nice too.
Not fully accurate though. He was only born there and moved to tthe US at a very young age. Also, he is half Cuban, and identifies with his Cuban side more (he grew up in Miami, so makes sense).
Began to be interested in Guatemala since seeing one of its athletes enter the quarter-finals of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics in the biggest sport in my country Indonesia, Badminton. Greetings from Indonesia.
That 'civil war' as you term it was a US-backed coup d'etat against a democratically elected government to protect the profits of the Chiquita Banana corporation (then known as the United Fruit Corporation). All because Guatemala tried to pass minimum wage laws for their exploited workers.
YES YOU WILL FIND IF YOU DO YOUR RESEARCH THAT THE EAST INDIA TRADING COMPANY THAT CREATED THE "OPIUM WARS" IN CHINA NEVER REALLY DIED. ALTHOUGH THE QUEEN OF ENGLAND DISBANDED THE BRITTISH BLACK OPS CORPORATION(BASICALLY BLACK WATER OF TODAY) IT WENT UNDER GROUND AFTER ITS 300 YEAR REIGN OF TERROR, AND IT BECAME A COUNTRY IN 1776 (YOU WILL FIND THE FLAG ALMOST THE SAME AS THE US FLAG) THE FRUIT COMPANIES WERE NOTHING MORE THAN CIA TROJAN HORSE CORPORATION'S CREATED TO TAKE OVER 3RD WORLD COUNTRIES AND DRIVE THEM ECONOMICALLY INTO SUBMISSION. AND NOW THEY ARE BEING STERILIZED WITH CHEMICALS IN FOOD AND THE PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY. ALL HEADS OF THE SAME BEAST
@@SkilldPanda except they arent facts. why would the u.s back a civil war on behalf of a company if a civil war would in fact do more to disrupt business than a simple minimum wage? this was a proxy commie stomping war.
In behalf of all the "chapines" (Guatemalans), THANK YOU, Barby! It was a great video, you did an amazing job! I hope you can go and visit La Antigua, Tikal or Lake Atitlan some day, you will love it! Que viva Guatelinda!
Dude - I'm from Guatemala and you got me from laugh to tears (of proud), I love my country it's AWESOME. And yes, never confuse us with mexicans LOL :P
Okay so like you probably totally don't remember me but you came to my school like a couple weeks ago and I wrote a letter saying how excited I was for when you finally covered Guatemala and here we are!! I couldn't stop smiling the entire time great video as always :)
As a Guatemalan American with dual citizenship, this video was amazing to watch. It made me feel so proud of my country and the majestic history of my Mayan people. I'm sharing this video with all of my friends and family!!
This was awesome! I am brazilian, but my father part grandfather was from Guatemala, and then I am kinda guatemalan too! Your video described a lot about the country, and gave me even more will of visiting my relatives there, that came to Brazil several times, but I haven't gone there yet...
0:27 The first confusion that I found in this video is that the name of the country DOES NOT come from such a thing "Mayan-Nahuatl". The reason why I say this is because Mayan and Nahuatl are completely different, here are the facts: The name of Guatemala COMES from Nahuatl which a language spoken by the Aztec, and the word is "Quauhtlemallan" which means "place of many trees". It happened after the Spanish conquested the Aztec, they brought with them Aztec soldiers to help them conquest the place known today as Guatemala. Since the Spanish had no idea how this place was called, they relied on what the soldiers speaking Nahuatl said and that's where the name of Guatemala comes from. In the other hand, the remaining "Mayan" have a name for thier own cities in each one of their language since they were divided by STATES which at the same time have their own goverment. Now, the host talks about many places having the end of "TENANGO", that also is Nahuatl. Please make sure you have the right facts and info to share. From someone who is a Mayan, who speaks Mayan Q'eqchi' and who works on research about history and mayan language development.
Guatemala looks like amazing! It seems like a hidden gem of a country not a lot of people think about! The lush forests look beautiful and the Mayan ruins look very interesting!
This is excellent. The narrator is energetic and really engages the audience. Finally, a useful geography video that holds students' interest. Thank you for doing this :)
I enjoy your videos, many of us are trap in a rat race here in the United States, we barely have time to travel and get to know other people and places around the world, I find your videos informative and somewhat educational. Excellent job, thanks!
the Federate Republic of Central America reminds me of the Gran Colombia (which were actually neighbours for a short time). One can only wonder what could have been if those states remained together. Also Miguel Angel Asturias was the second latin american and the third in the Americas to have won the Nobel Prize of Literature, and yes, he's an amazing writer and you should definetly check some of his novels!. I was anxiously waiting that he be mentioned since he's one of my favorite writers.
Gary Loor The closest thing to that is Brazil, due to the empire efforts on creating a huge empire all the separation moves (excluding Uruguay) were stopped really quickly.
We love you barbie you are so positive and up beat. My condolences to you about your father. He must have been a good man to have raised such a wonderful person
Awesome video I loved it I haven't been home in 8 years, you only forgot to mention about all the Germans that moved there that's why we have a bit of German influence and some German holidays are celebrated in the capital and German owned businesses
After traveling to Guatemala I needed to watch this episode again. Guatemala is truly one of my favorite countries; but I prefer Mexico, I came mexico after Guatemala. It’s my first backpacking adventure in Latin America
I'm so going to Guatemala ! Muchas gracias ! Just for inspiration..I'm a 45 yo white woman and I had a blast travelling solos South America backpacking. Totally safe, beautiful, inspirational, mind blowing, mind relaxing. Can;t wait to go to Guatemala !

GuatemalanGreen EvoRadio ,hello ally
In behalf of all the "chapines" (Guatemalans), THANK YOU, Barby! It was a great video, you did an amazing job! I hope you can go and visit La Antigua, Tikal or Lake Atitlan some day, you will love it! Que viva Guatelinda!
Guatemala is in need, Volcan de Fuego just exploded, 25 deceased so far. Good vibes from Mexico my dear guatemaleans :(
because of your phenomenal badminton athletes, I now know the country guatemala is in love you Guatemala 🇮🇩🇬🇹
Indonesia or Monaco ?
Dude - I'm from Guatemala and you got me from laugh to tears (of proud), I love my country it's AWESOME. And yes, never confuse us with mexicans LOL :P
your picture for guatemala city is actually a picture of "Antigua", Guatemala...
Okay so like you probably totally don't remember me but you came to my school like a couple weeks ago and I wrote a letter saying how excited I was for when you finally covered Guatemala and here we are!! I couldn't stop smiling the entire time great video as always :)
This was awesome Barbie! Ive was in Guatemala a couple of years ago and as always VERY ACCURATE!
I'm from Quetzaltenango! But I live in NY and half Arab!
As a Guatemalan American with dual citizenship, this video was amazing to watch. It made me feel so proud of my country and the majestic history of my Mayan people. I'm sharing this video with all of my friends and family!!
He ido a Guatemala. Es un país muy lindo con un pueblo muy amable.
Me encantó la ciudad de Antigua Guatemala. Fue muy padre!
Gracias!
This was awesome! I am brazilian, but my father part grandfather was from Guatemala, and then I am kinda guatemalan too! Your video described a lot about the country, and gave me even more will of visiting my relatives there, that came to Brazil several times, but I haven't gone there yet...
Dude, I am Guatemalan and I absolutely loved your video, thank you, and it was amazing. Liked and shared!
bobby ur awesome i watch ur videos every day I'm currently in year 7 and thanks to u i beat 2 A level geography students thanks man
His name is Barby not Bobby...
Josh Mann i didn't mean to put that it was spelling check
How can you pronounce correctly "Guatemala" but no "Antigua"??
It may be because in English the "Antigua" in Antigua and Barbuda is often pronounced without the U
because the gringos can't pronounce two or three vowels together. LIke for example "Reunion or Retauleu"
@@davidjoura644 Retalhuleu*
@@DJV_TF Santiaguito*, it's without the "diéresis"
@@Smgs-ue7tj Thank you teacher!!
0:27 The first confusion that I found in this video is that the name of the country DOES NOT come from such a thing "Mayan-Nahuatl". The reason why I say this is because Mayan and Nahuatl are completely different, here are the facts: The name of Guatemala COMES from Nahuatl which a language spoken by the Aztec, and the word is "Quauhtlemallan" which means "place of many trees". It happened after the Spanish conquested the Aztec, they brought with them Aztec soldiers to help them conquest the place known today as Guatemala. Since the Spanish had no idea how this place was called, they relied on what the soldiers speaking Nahuatl said and that's where the name of Guatemala comes from. In the other hand, the remaining "Mayan" have a name for thier own cities in each one of their language since they were divided by STATES which at the same time have their own goverment. Now, the host talks about many places having the end of "TENANGO", that also is Nahuatl. Please make sure you have the right facts and info to share. From someone who is a Mayan, who speaks Mayan Q'eqchi' and who works on research about history and mayan language development.
Thanks for this new Video, As i was born in Guatemala it is always nice to see Videos that show the Good!
Watching before I visit. Thanks for being succinct and still covering important information. Good channel!
Guatemala looks like amazing! It seems like a hidden gem of a country not a lot of people think about! The lush forests look beautiful and the Mayan ruins look very interesting!
Thank you for this video! You did a great job offering Guatemala distinction from simply being "Central America".
Saludos desde El Salvador, ❤
This is excellent. The narrator is energetic and really engages the audience. Finally, a useful geography video that holds students' interest. Thank you for doing this :)
This channel just fills me up with so many good vibes! XD
I enjoy your videos, many of us are trap in a rat race here in the United States, we barely have time to travel and get to know other people and places around the world, I find your videos informative and somewhat educational. Excellent job, thanks!
at 1 minute the picture you used for Guatemala City is actually a picture of Antigua, Guatemala, about an hour away by car.
the Federate Republic of Central America reminds me of the Gran Colombia (which were actually neighbours for a short time). One can only wonder what could have been if those states remained together.
Also Miguel Angel Asturias was the second latin american and the third in the Americas to have won the Nobel Prize of Literature, and yes, he's an amazing writer and you should definetly check some of his novels!. I was anxiously waiting that he be mentioned since he's one of my favorite writers.

The closest thing to that is Brazil, due to the empire efforts on creating a huge empire all the separation moves (excluding Uruguay) were stopped really quickly.
Love to Guatemala from Greece
Way to put so much information about my country in 11 min.

VIVA GUATEMALA! ARRIVA LOS CHAPINES 🇬🇹!!!
I am an indigenous from Guatemala currently moved to the USA. I’m watching this man. I speak a Mayan Language (K’iche’)
Awesome man, I wish I spoke Mam
Awesome video I loved it I haven't been home in 8 years, you only forgot to mention about all the Germans that moved there that's why we have a bit of German influence and some German holidays are celebrated in the capital and German owned businesses
Which German holidays? 🤔
German holidays .??
I am German, but im not sure that we even have any.
Besides Oktoberfest I guess, but other than that?
indeed, there's very few national holidays across europe except for religiously influenced ones from christianity, but those aren't 'german holidays'
ThePompf a town called zacapa was actually settled by Germans or is a town of Germans.
As a salvatrucho who has visited Guatemala when i lived in El Salvador, i can say guatemala is very awesome 🇸🇻🇬🇹
El salvador is beautiful too. Saludos hermano 🇬🇹🇸🇻
I loved the video! I would have liked even more if you showed something about Guatemala City that it is kinda underrated but I still loving the show
00:59 that's not Guatemala city. that's Antigua 😂
Pedro Araujo I know, I've actually been at the cross
The Cross is to represent Jesus.
After traveling to Guatemala I needed to watch this episode again. Guatemala is truly one of my favorite countries; but I prefer Mexico, I came mexico after Guatemala. It’s my first backpacking adventure in Latin America
I'm proud to be Guatemalan.
I'm so going to Guatemala ! Muchas gracias ! Just for inspiration..I'm a 45 yo white woman and I had a blast travelling solos South America backpacking. Totally safe, beautiful, inspirational, mind blowing, mind relaxing. Can;t wait to go to Guatemala !
My gf is Guatemalan so of course I watch this video over and over to learn her culture ahaha thanks y’all for the video 🙏🏻
