This video shows you why Guatemala should be your next destination! With its vibrant culture, delicious food, intriguing history, stunning architecture, and beautiful landscapes, it is a paradise for all kinds of travelers! Our Guatemala travel guide is bursting at the seams with all you need to know before you go to this underrated Central American country. We give so many tips, like what kind of clothing to pack, how much entrance fees & activities cost, when the dry & wet seasons are and what "Guatemalan time" means. We also suggest where to stay in Guatemala. Most importantly, we highlight the best places to visit and things to do while traveling Guatemala! Tikal National Park is a must-see destination for nature lovers and adventurers alike. Located deep in the tropical rainforest, Tikal is home to some of the most incredible and unique wildlife in the world. From the iconic howler monkeys to the vibrant toucans, there's something new and exciting to see every day. Additionally, Tikal boasts an incredible array of ancient Mayan ruins, making it an ideal destination for history buffs. Visit Tikal and explore the mysteries of the jungle, uncover the secrets of the ancient Mayans, and marvel at the beauty of nature. Are you looking for an exciting boat tour that will take you to some of the most amazing places in Central America? Look no further than a private boat tour from Rio Dulce of Lake Izabal with a visit to San Felipe Castle, the Black Lagoon and Livingston Guatemala. Starting at the Spanish-built San Felipe Castle, you’ll get to experience its well-preserved and cool-looking structure, artifacts, stories and views. Then, you'll gain perspective as you see how natives live in a fishing village on the way to the Black Lagoon, an area filled with lush vegetation, incredible wildlife and a sort of magical peace. When you arrive in Livingston Guatemala, you can learn about its unique culture and history, especially that of the Garifuna. Lake Atitlan is surrounded by three volcanoes, creating a majestic backdrop and an unforgettable experience. You can take in the incredible views from boat rides, hikes, or even from the large window in a cooking school at Santa Cruz la Laguna. The lake is also home to several Mayan villages where you can discover more in-depth the culture and traditions of the local people. When it comes to activities, there’s plenty to do. You can visit a women's weaving cooperative or a local art gallery, you can learn how chocolate is made and how to make tortillas, you can dress up in traditional clothing and you can find special handicrafts for souvenirs or gifts. So if you’re looking for a spectacular haven that offers a little something for everyone, Lake Atitlan in Guatemala is the perfect place. Cobán, Guatemala is full of surprises! From traditional Mayan culture to the stunning natural beauty of the surrounding rainforest, this city is a must-visit for any traveler. Don't forget to try the delicious street food for breakfast! From pupusas to empanadas and chile rellenos, Cobán offers a delectable array of flavors to satisfy any appetite, including fresh & sweet treats in a panaderia. Bonus, the prices are unbeatable! Another must-do while in Guatemala is signing up for & participating in a cooking class. Learn the art of traditional Mayan cuisine in their fun and informative hands-on classes! Have a blast while learning to make tamales, enchiladas, dobladas and other traditional foods. You even get to partake of your tasty dishes at the end! Semuc Champey Natural Monument should definitely be on your Guatemala itinerary! With its breathtaking views and amazing activities, you won't want to miss the chance to explore this magnificent destination. The candlelight cave tour is one of the best things to do to at Semuc Champey. Be sure to hike up to a phenomenal viewpoint of the turquoise blue pools, even though it is quite strenuous. Afterwards, you get the reward of taking a dip in the crystal clear pools where you can see the intricate formations of the limestone rocks and the the rare species of fish below.

hello I live in GUATEMALA PROUD to be GUATEMALAN
Fantastico! We surely loved our time in Guatemala and hope to go back again someday 😁
Great video so amazing
Thanks for watching
I live in Guatemala
Fantastico! 🙂
BBC selecciono a Guatemala como uno de los 10 mejores destinos turisticos del mundo en el plano cultural.
Excellente!
La revista VOGUE eligio a Guatemala como uno de los 10 mejores destinos turisticos del mundo para 2023. Otros son Roma, Tokio, Malaga, el Yucon canadiense, la Patagonia chilena, Groenlandia entre otros.
We can see why! Loved our time in Guatemala!
Wow, tremendo alguien vino a Guate :D, se metieron a nadar a algun lago? Y si fueron atitlan, vieron a la serpiente del lago?
Muchas gracias! We value your support. By the way, we did not see any lake snakes. We surely loved our road trip through Guatemala though! 😀
You did a great job of showing the best of Guatemala. There must be two sides. What you showed looked wonderful.
Thank you. Yes, there are always two sides to any travel destination...
hahahhaha your both are so funny, just saw you with black paint in your face like Rambo and your Wife I have to fallow all your videos, I love it.
Our guide painted our faces with candle soot, it helped to get us in the adventure mode!
Gracias again for your kind words and support
Need to watch this. But as I write this I'm staying at a airbnb in Ek Balam, MX. You can see the pyramid outside our cabaña.
Sweet! We didn't have time for those ruins when we were in the Yucatan almost 4 and a half years ago... How are they?
Will you have the time to go to Coba? We had such a fabulous experience there!
@@GoTravelOnTheCheap we loved coba and learned a lot on that tour, about 2 years ago. We wanted to climb the pyramid and ek balam is the only 1 in the area you can. I couldn't because I'm pregnant now, next time! 😅💜
Oh, very cool! We climbed a pyramid in Coba (have you ever watched that video of ours? 😇) and April thought she was going to pass out from the heat & humidity, lol!
i normally just bring a suitcase full of school supplies and drop off directly to a school in a pueblo when i travel. are these tours via los amigos hostal? did the travel agency sponsor your trip. having private tour guide and driver doesn't seem travelling on the cheap. I've seen the Garifunda guy in a differnet video. where does he hang out/ I'd like to him as a tour guide. the salad tostado looks amazing..what's it called and how much? what time do the night markets for street foods start. that's yummy looking.
That's nice to hear! No, these are not Los Amigos Hostel's tours, but we did have a fantastic stay there. We like to say, everyone has their version of traveling on the cheap. 😇 And in countries like Guatemala where the USD stretches so far, we can afford things that we would not be able to afford in other countries.
From what we have been told, Philip Flores (the Garifuna guy) passed away.
We invite you to go watch our video called Guatemalan Street Food You Want To Eat! for more info about the food there, pricing, etc.
All the food we had in Guatemala was so tasty; you will love it!
What were the exact dates you film this video? I am intrested to visit this place on my vlog
We were there in November 2021 🙂
Did you get sick from any of the food or water?
We did not get sick... We know from traveling to other countries not to drink the water, or even use it while brushing your teeth. Everywhere we ate had good enough hygiene practices so we felt totally safe eating at them 🙂
@@GoTravelOnTheCheap No questions... Just to thanks to visit this beatiful Paradise. Welcome Home!!♥️♥️✨✨✨✨❤️❤️
@@KMAM71. Gracias!
You both show all the beautiful areas, but what about all the crime infested slums and poverty. There is a reason why thousands are escaping Guatemala for the United States.
Yes, Guatemala is a very poor country. We did not see any "slums", however. We did see a lot of poverty-stricken areas. And this is precisely why we were moved to start this charity campaign to build a school and bring books into it (and other schools) 😇
The video was not only amazing, as usual, but very captivating and full of awesome travel tips for that region. It gave a real insight to the native people and their culture. The food looked absolutely delicious and hats off to April for being such a trooper on that cave swim.
We will most certainly be donating to the charity for the building of a school in Guatemala. What a wonderful and selfless act that you two are doing to promote literacy to the children and providing them the opportunity to advance their education.
This is so great to hear. Thank you so much for your help in our effort to build a school and bring books in to schools in Guatemala.
