I've visited Guatemala twice and thoroughly enjoyed my visits. I've been to roughly 75 countries and Guatemala is in my top 5 for the reasons you've showed in your videos : )
Definitely became one of our favorites too
Please tell me your top 5. I'm from Guatemala🇬🇹
when you know, you know🙏
Thank you for visiting Guatemala and I hope you considering in coming back
@@JumpingPlaces el salvadore has some beautiful sites to.. safe travels you to. I'm headed to barbados in February
WHAT A BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY. A REAL GEM. HOPE TO VISIT THIS GARDEN OF EDEN ONE DAY.
Wow, another amazing video. These videos have made me want to visit Guatemala. I was at a dinner party yesterday talking to friends about your videos and these beautiful countries that no one speaks of. Guatemala is on my bucket list and I cant wait to see El Salvador. I live in Los Angeles, come from Mexican parents, have known Guatemalan and Salvadorean people my whole life. Its such a shame that Ive never heard anyone mention the beauty of these places. I was going to plan a trip to Thailand (Ive been twice), but this may be something completely new and closer for me to explore. Thank you for opening this up to the world.
I would definitely visit both, especially since they are so close :D
Tikal is on my bucket list! Never made it on my exploration of Guatemala. Thank you for showing the world such a beautiful country ❤
You are right. This site ranks up there as one of the best in the world. I personally think it should be a wonder of the world along with Angkor Wat. I mean how do those get left out, right? Glad you had a great time. There is another smaller temple complex that's even more emerged into the rainforest called Yaxha. If you get a chance check it out. Enjoy!
My husband and I visited the Maya ruins and there’s so much history so amazing
Local Petenero here, the Tikal national park is more than just ruins, it is a wildlife ecosystem because it is in the Mayan biosphere, they could also go to Yaxha which is a smaller park but with less people or go to "Arcas" which is an animal shelter for our ecosystem
As for the Lake, it is expected that next year it will drop a little because in summer it averages 48 degrees.
Enjoy the trip guys
I first visited Guatemala back in the 1990's and fell in love with the country and people. Tikal was a special experience, especially because I took a night hike in the jungle with a ranger and saw the animals and critters that come out a night, like huge tarantulas. I actually camped in Tikal in small wood sheds in the national park. I wonder if those camping sheds are still available.
I love living vicariously through you guys. And no bug bites or blood sucking flies. I'm 70 and my body just couldn't or would say no I ain't. I love your beautiful complementary to each other selves. Go with love. And keep jumping for us who can't or won't.
Thanks for always supporting :D
The Mayan Temples exudes such a strong spirituality. Guatemala is so Beautiful especially for people like me so into Nature. Praise God! 😊
I Love Guatemala❤ One of my favorite destinations in the world!
La pirámide de Chichen Itzá que es una de las maravillas del mundo, mide 24 metros de altura. En Tikal hay por lo menos 8 pirámides más altas que la de Chichen Itzá.
Templo 1 = 47 metros.
Templo 2 = 38 metros.
Templo 3 = 55 metros.
Templo 4 = 65 a 70 metros.
Templo 5 = 57 metros.
Templo 6 = 12 metros.
Templo 33 = 33 metros.
Pirámide 5C-54 = 35 metros.
Pirámide 5C-49 = 22 metros (originalmente con el templo y crestería destruido en la cima era más alto)
Acrópolis Sur = es la segunda más alta de Tikal pero aún no se ha descubierto de la tierra.
🇬🇹🇬🇹🇬🇹🇬🇹🇬🇹Yes Guatemala ‘s the best
Twenty three mayan lenguages.
Guatemala’s ORIGINAL 🎉🎉🎉🎉🇬🇹🇬🇹🇬🇹🇬🇹🇬🇹
Greetings
Tikal is said to have around 60 thousand ancient Mayan buildings making it possibly the biggest ancient city in the Americas.
yeah pretty unreal that we were seeing only around 30% of it, huge place!
39:12 a miracle!!!
The Guatemala series has been exceptional!! You've visited some great spots. Your expressions and delight shows that it was a very fun trip!!! Nice job showcasing it, one of my favorite series.
Thanks! Guatemala was amazing.
28:15 - This is the location of one of the scenes of the Rebel Base on the moon Yavin 4 from Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977).
1- Tikal Temple IV - The temple of the Two-Headed Serpent.
2- Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope was filmed here (1977).
3- The Millennium Falcon flies over the jungle as a Rebel Trooper points his gun at it (the shot was filmed from this temple).
4- In the shot, you can see Temple III on the right and Temple II on the left.
5- The Millennium Falcon turns, descends, and lands at Temple III.
6- Only the Rebel Trooper pointing his gun was originally in the shot (1977), but the Millennium Falcon was added in the 2011 special edition.
7- Episode IV ↔Yavin 4 ↔ Tikal Temple IV ↔ May the 4th ↔ Star Wars Day
Thank you, Chris and Carol for another incredible video❤❤
Our pleasure!
Just another perfect travel vid.😊❤
Thank you! 😃
We thoroughly enjoyed your Quatemala videos. We hope you are keeping diaries for a potential book. Carol has been collecting photos.
its incredible that Guatemala has so many pyramids (and a lot unexcavated). I wonder why they don't attract more tourists like Mexico. Thanks for the video! 🎉
GUATEMALA looks amazing 😮😮😮😮thanks for the video....👍👍👍
Hello Chris and Carol, thank you so much for your beautiful trip in Guatemala, island of Flores . It’s awesome❤❤❤❤❤❤. Wow the girl and dogs walked on water….miracle😂😂😂😂😂
I went here In February and loved it. Flores was beautiful and Tikal was outstanding. The nature alongside the temples was mesmerising- listening to the monkeys and woodpeckers- we loved it!
Another awesome amazing travel trip 😍 Stay safe healthy n many more places to explore 🙏🎥
Chichen Itzá in Mexico is just an attachment of Tikal in Guatemala...great video guys!
Amazing places. Good jump!!Thanks for sharing!! 😀🙂
A great workout for you and Carol Chris so much to see very impressive
Yea, it was definitely a workout but so worth it! 😊
El cerro que mencionan en el minuto 28:35 es la pirámide de la Acropolis Sur. La mayor estructura de Tikal aún enterrada.
Was in Flores february 2024. Just loved it. Went to the viewpoint too. It was well worth it. A few dogs so I had a stick too. The west side of the island was flooded during my visit too, but not as much as I can see in this video.
Tikal and Angkor Wat is at the top for me. It gives you chills.
yeah these sites are something else! Have you been to Petra?
@@JumpingPlaces Yes, I visited Petra in the end of 2010. Amazing too. Went to Teotihuacán too last february. Chichén Itzá in 2022 along with Coba and Uxmal. One of the places I haven't been to is Palenque. Seems really good too.
Tikal is magical I looooVvvvvE all the Mayan / Aztec and Incas ruins history etc I’m happy to stay in one of those complex all day long everyday they are so fascinating
I’ve recently watch these documentaries on new complex found at the border of Guatemala with these new technologies such as lydar ( have you seen it?) it’s mind blowing I think I saw this on Disney + I’ve watched it 3 times … you really need to see this if you haven’t you ll love that I’m sure! I miss Mexico 🇲🇽 and next time I go I will make sure to divide my time with Guatemala 🇬🇹 I’m off to be hospitalised tomorrow so I’ll be watching El Salvador there now I’ve court up with the entire Guatemala serie 😊
Thank you 🙏🏼 so much for always cheering me up
Take care
Sabrina 🇫🇷🇬🇧
En el sitio arqueológico Holmul en Guatemala se encontraron grabados en murales mayas lo que es un tamal. Es la evidencia más antigua del consumo de tamales. La tortilla es base de la gastronomía guatemalteca. El colocar comida dentro de una tortilla no lo hace ser comida mexicana. Es como la pupusa, es originaria de Guatemala y en Guatemala están los textos más antiguos que hablan de la pupusa como comida guatemalteca, pero fue El Salvador quien la ha hecho popular.
And today we learned that Carol can sing! Interesting video as always, beautifully shot, love that you always provide prices. We only had time for Antigua and Lago de Atitlan last time - Tikal is definitely on my list now.
Thanks!
Guy's thank you for visiting my country!!!
🙂💙👍Thank You Chris & Carol for Another Amazing Adventure you can just imagine what Civilization would have been like back then. And the man power it would have taken to build those massive structors without modern machinery. 🙂💗👍Wishing You Safe Travels from Canada👍
truly unbelievable!
great place.Didnt knew much about it.Always like your videos.
I enjoyed it all! Great job.
Flores was my favourite place in Guatemala just because it was relatively quiet and authentic compare to some other places like Antigua which are lovely but very touristy. Tikal was magnificent. But I cannot believe how empty are the places you are visiting- must be low season or something as it was quite packed when I was visiting.
Yes even antigua was pretty empty when we went, it was low season though during early november
Great Videos… Beautifully filmed and Narrated….Love all you videos…. Can’t wait for more. Keep up the Great works!!
Fantastic video! Hidden gem of Central America. Muito obrigado!! Quero ir à Guatemala e Brasil também!
Thank you 🙏 so very much for your kind comments about Guatemala. Sadly Guate is so underrated, but in my heart Guatemala is number one! Enjoy Guate amigos, I recommend visiting Quiroga, where you will see the tallest estela in the world. Blessings and enjoy.
Guys ,sad to see you are leaving my country I hope you enjoy it and hope you coming back, be safe wherever you go God bless you always.
Thank you for everything you shared here... it is so lovely! I always wanted to go to Tikal and you showed it off very well.
Thank you for visiting Guatemala but just to let you know the jungle of Peten along with the Amazon as is one of the main breathing areas of forest in the world for our planet
Excellent video. I'm heading there in January.
This is one of the best videos from Tikal ! Thanks for sharing ! Blessings and greetings from USA !
Glad you enjoyed it!
I visited Tikal as a kid in 1976. It is one of the most interesting places I have ever been and am hoping to go back sometime soon. It looks like they have excavated a lot more since then.
Really enjoyed your tour of Tikal.❤
❤ the mix of practical tips with cultural and historical info. Great vids!
Central America is my favorite part of the world. The natural beauty, wildlife, pristine beaches and affordability are ideal for North Americans. While i haven't been to Guatemala, it is on the bucket list. That's for showing the beauty of the country.
Awesome video! The music goes so well with the video.
Thank you very much!
En Guatemala están las dos ciudades mayas más grandes del mundo maya. La segunda ciudad más grande es Tikal y la primera ciudad más grande es el sitio arqueológico El Mirador, que tiene la pirámide más grande del mundo y la más alta de las Américas pero en su mayoría está cubierto por la vegetación. Para llegar a la ciudad hay que caminar por la selva 5 días entre ida y vuelta o ir en helicóptero. En Guatemala está el monolito maya más grande y se encuentra en Quiriguá que es un sitio arqueológico con estelas y monolitos que son piedras grabadas con escritura y arte maya. El sitio arqueológico Takalij Abaj es la ciudad que dio origen a la cultura maya en el sur del país, luego se extendieron por Guatemala, México, Belice, Hondura y El Salvador.
Looks better,indeed!!
In Guatemala is the largest Mayan ruin of the civilization, and at the same time it is the second largest in the world, I am talking about La Danta
I visited Tikal about 10 years ago. It is absolutely the greatest of the known Myan ruins.
It's at least an all-day adventure. Arrive at sun up, bring breakfast (eat at the top of a pyramid).
Hollar monkeys were screaming the entire time. Lots of spider monkeys, too.
Much better access than other Myan sites we've visited.
We almost skipped Guatemala, based on the U.S. State Dept warnings. The people we interacted with in Peten were super friendly. Order tepezcuintle at a local restaurant. It's delicious.
yeah we never felt unsafe at all, just a completely relaxed and friendly vibe everywhere we went
Todos los idiomas mayas provienen de un idioma madre, que es el Protomaya. Así como el español, italiano, portugués y francés vienen del latín. Según la ciencia el protomaya tuvo su origen en la Sierra de los Cuchumatanes en Huehuetenango, Guatemala.
Great video!! I visited Tikal in 2007 and loved it.
Also really enjoyed Mayan sites in Copan Honduras and Lamanai Belize.
Looking forward to your El Salvador video!
Thanks for your input. We haven't been to Honduras yet, we visited Belize but we only stayed on the coast
Hello Chris and Carol.
My husband and I are always excited to see your travels as well as the information you share with us:))
Thanks to you it’s easy for us to decide our vacation destinations 😊
Carol, I love your kind personality…… also, can you share with us the brand of your sunglasses please.
They look beautiful on you:))))
Thank you
So glad to hear that you two enjoy our videos! Thank you 🥰 My sunglasses are from Calvin Klein but they’re probably an older model. I bought them in Europe on a duty free sale but haven’t seen the same model anywhere else.
@ thank you Carol.
We are always looking forward to see you two exploring and sharing your experiences with us :)
Sending lots of love and best wishes for the Holidays .
I went to Pompeii in Italy last Oct & loved it. It is not all excavated Found it really interesting
Ek Balam was my favourite Mayan archeological site. Not too far from Chichen Itza. And you’re still permitted to climb the temples. Also as Carol had mentioned the well preserved head carving, there are many such carvings throughout and in excellent states of preservation. A must see. Thank you both for your great work
Hopefully we can visit that one :D
Gracias amigos lindos por sus hermosas palabras a nuestro país 🇬🇹 Guatemala 🇬🇹 ❤ Dios los bendiga y por favor vuelvan ❤
Nice serene place to visit! All the flooding is likely from the tropical storm they had in the last couple of weeks.
Guatemala is definitely on my bucket list now. Is it safe?🥰
Super safe!!!
Yes, we always felt safe 😊 Heard the same from other travelers even solo female travelers.
En el área de Lago Petén Itzá habitó la etnia maya Itzá, quienes abandonaron algunas ciudades y se trasladaron hacia la península de Yucatán en el periodo posclásico y construyeron Chichén Itzá. Es curioso que tanto en Tayasal como en Chichen Itzá ambas ciudades cuentan con un cenote. Tayasal su nombre original es Ta' Itzá.
El templo 4 que subieron tiene una altura de 70 metros.
The causeway is a modern addition. The island was one of the last hold outs against the Spanish conquest. There is a statue that was being transported off the island to somewhere so that the Spanish wouldn't be able to destroy it but due to weather or some other factor the boat ended up sinking and the statue is still in the lake and has never been found.
Carol will not lead you astray ✌️😁 I still think about Tikal visited there for few days in 2002 ......genial video 🙋🏼♂️🙋♀️❤️🇨🇦
Interesting history lesson, Chris
❤❤always wonderful travelling with you...Kiss from Italy
All Good People are welcome in Guatemala
Excellent and amazing. 😲👍😊
Thank you! Cheers!
Your welcome. 👍😊
Thanks for another great video! I've been to Chichen Itza, Coba, and I'm actually going to Oaxaca next week and will be visiting Monte Alban 😊
Hope you enjoy it!
Last time I went to Tikal, our guide explained why they don't excavate more of the temples: they don't have the resources for their preservation. They are better buried than excavated and neglected.
Another beautiful vlog guys... be safe, blessings ❤ 🇹🇹
Thank you 🙌
The burritos looked delicious😊
They were :D
11:15 The beautiful painting is “ōllamalitzli” known as the Aztec-soccer! ⚽️
En Guatemala hay más de 60,000 estructuras en la selva en más de 900 ciudades mayas. Esto fue descubierto recientemente al utilizar la tecnología LIDAR que escaneo la topografía traspasando la vegetación.
I love this video❤🇬🇹🇬🇹❤
I really enjoy watching your videos. Very tastefully done. You guys should go to Alaska sometime or Tahiti.
Maybe one day!
Amazing film this time, I better use my large TV to see this film tonight again. 😊
Thanks!
The foods looks delicious!
09:38 Carol always chooses better meals 😎
La Acrópolis Sur es en realidad una pirámide, la mayor pirámide de Tikal que abarca en tamaño más o menos el tamaño de la plaza central de Tikal. Esta pirámide aún está cubierta por la vegetación.
Beautiful places! Really surprised about the beauty and the untouched sites you have visited during your stay. It also seems pretty clean and orderly or maybe you just didn't film the bad and only showed the good. Very nice video!!!
A truly beautiful country :D i don't remember seeing much trash in the touristic places we were visiting, since we are usually walking and talking to the camera it would be hard for us to intentionally try and not show something good/bad
Welcome to Guatemala , heart of the Mayan world , if you come back in the future you must visit El MIRADOR ALSO in peten Guatemala it’s a archeological Mayan site 4 times bigger than Tikal with 60,000 structures temple’s La Danta the biggest piramid in volume in the world , most people who visit do the trekking 4 days walking in the jungle from Carmelita’s or 45 minutes in helicopter . Enjoy
Woooow!!! That spider 😮
Thank you for amazing videos from Guatemala. I cannot wait to see you in El Salvador
Video coming soon :D
Uxmal in theYucatan, near Merida, is a beautiful Mayan site, with incredible carvings on the pyramids. Definitely worth visiting.
we went there and its one of our favorites, as you mentioned the carvings might be the best we have seen in any site. It was before we started this channel so we dont have any video of it
when we stayed in florez was EASTER LONG WEEKEND and we had NO IDEA. was sold out , had to move every day lol. it was 44c lol
yeah heat was intense in this region!
Beautiful Beautiful
i was there in march and it was also flooded like that in Flores
Enjoyed the long video Legends 😁
Glad to hear!
Carol and Chris this tree looks very unique. You must have liked the monkey greeters when you arrived lol
They were cool :D
38:20 - GALLO = Rooster
Where did you stay in Flores? Really loved the details and video.
Thanks.
You're welcome
Beautiful grounds!
Indeed!
Fantastic video.
Thank you very much!
Beautiful, great content, what’s the name of the song at 2:50?
Welcome to the Mayan Kingdom iff you lucky traveler can meet the Jaguars at Tikal.
