A Day as a Tourist in Guatemala City - Guatemala Travel Vlog #3

[@TheNewTravel]

When you arrive in Guatemala as a foreigner, you are met immediately by people shouting "Antigua! Antigua! Taxi to Antigua?" The truth is that most foreigners skip the big city and go to more tourist-friendly destinations. But I really wanted to spend a day in Guatemala City to see what it's like. That's what today's video is all about, so I hope you enjoy my last video from Guatemala :)

[@MrRono68]

Do you really want to know the great city of Guatemala, considered the best and largest city in Central America and the Caribbean?Look at this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sJbQkJyofKytjrc

The New Travel in fact they call their buses (Chicken buses) cuz People from Villages And small towns transport all kind of things.. Animals.. Etc..

[@spicyroads]

I went to Guatemala in March, my first trip overseas. I really liked the people. Affordable, nice weather, Found it interesting that Spanish is not spoken everywhere., some speak Mayan languages.

[@TheNewTravel]

Very true... lots of indigenous cultures here!

[@darlynpimentel1264]

Yes my parents originate from Guatemala and my dad was telling me in Guatemala they not only speak Spanish but many other languages and there are many different villages and tribes that the people in those villages speak many different Mayan languages and I was so fascinated bc that is my home country and I never grew up there but when I visit I will stay for a long time and learn even more Mayan languages thank you for this I finally got to share what my country is like

[@caleb4908]

@@darlynpimentel1264 hola Darlyn

[@sofiarivard3783]

That is very true, there are 22 Mayan languages in Guatemala, I was learning one of them in school "Caqchikel" but I stopped cuz its way to hard, now I'm learning Korean

[@HeroT]

My parents are guatemalan but I was born in the USA 🇺🇸 ❤️ so thanks for the video because I learned more about Guate than my parents have told me

Thank you for doing this video. Zone 1 is were I was born, lived there all my life until I had to move to the US. Brought tears to my eyes seeing how beautiful the city is, how many child memories! My mom and dad used to take me on Sundays for a walk on 6a avenida. And thank you for describing the city how it is, a place were many tourist wont stop, only the adventurous like you guys! 🇬🇹

[@TheNewTravel]

I'm glad you enjoyed it! :)

Thanks for visiting us!!...Guatemala is my country 🇬🇹

[@lelandpeck4585]

Thanks, Dan. VERY interesting tour of Guatemala City. A new experience for me!

[@TheNewTravel]

Glad you enjoyed it, Leland.

[@TravelingGraces]

The city looks big and hectic, but beautiful too! I love the idea of highlighting areas that aren't as popular for tourist. I especially love the older, colorful buildings!

[@natalyvaldezberthet]

Thank ypu for visiting and for donating and help and also for being so respectful about my country.

[@johnedwardjones999]

City and country I too have wanted to know more about. You and Nari have done a great job in orienting me. Muchas gracias. ❤ To people of Guatemala especially those that lost so much, including family, friends, belongings and pets.

[@dircd]

John Edward Jones thank you John! A little boost from the tourist industry is always a good way to help so if you ever decide to come just know that we will be waiting with open arms.

[@starc5624]

Guatemala City is my favourite place on the planet (I'm slightly biased because it's where my boyfriend and friends live), it's full of culture and also its becoming more modern too. The malls there are great, and everything is reasonably priced. The city is huge and always expanding, there's so much to see and do. And the view at night across the city if you're in a tall building is pretty spectacular!

[@taleighshacinto33]

Star C what zones should I avoid when I go?

[@JoshRimer]

My brother spent a month in Guatemala - sounded like quite the experience! Funny that they use the old school buses from here in Canada. XD And I agree that every city really does have things that make it unique and cool!

[@RENATONOVELETTO]

Those buses are send to Guatemala as a gift since they are to old to use in your country but so usefull in a poor country like Guatemala..

[@BrianpAlvarez]

Guatemala is my city! Love it! Hope we could chat soon, love to meet other vloggers!

I always imagined Guatemala City a bit more busy. It looks chill

[@gustavocabanas61]

Abel A WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? ITS A CITY OF ALMOST 5 MILLION PEOPLE!

[@diegosaavedra4962]

I think this may have been a Saturday or Sunday lol it's hectic here

[@TheNewTravel]

*I love big cities, because there is always some place new to explore. What's your favourite big city?*

[@RoberSoul77]

Tokyo. Despite having 35 million residents it does not feel chaotic! Mexico City. New York. Cairo was the only one that was too much for me, it was like Mexico City on steroids. It's cool if someone drives you around but it's not walkable.

[@DiscoverWithDima]

I don't know much about Guatemala but your videos are making me want to go there now!

[@wanderlustwithwinston8192]

The architecture that you've managed to film is really nice. And I agree about traveling to the more local places instead of just the touristy place. That's something I'd like to explore, though it seems like it could be hard for certain places, especially if there's a language barrier.

[@red88alert]

Welcome to Guatemala! I love the city. I stayed in a hotel in zona 1 as well. That zone is a bit sketchy but not the worst. I love that country. I just bought my first land there too (Huehuetenango) so you can see that in the future I'm serious about maybe moving there.

[@taleighshacinto33]

red88alert do you need much money to move there and could my kids get a good education? My husband is trying to get his green card for the u.s. but the embassy is really messing with him. It may come down to me and our 3 kids moving down there eventually.

[@louislark4506]

Immensely cinematic ,splendid, vintage, opulent architecture: love the palace and cathedral. And- the iridescent street artwork and homes reminds me of Durban, SA. The foods and street performers were intriguing. " Everything is beautiful in its own way!" Guatemala Rocks!

[@adrianjuarez7204]

"Anyone can ride the bus and you might be sitting next to someone holding a chicken." LOL

[@TheNewTravel]

It's true... 🐔

[@starc5624]

It's because people used to take chickens to market in them! Not sure they do it as much anymore

[@davegahan526]

not true I'm local been living here 40 years never seen that, here buses are crowded it's a big city almost with 8 million people , hens I'm buses that is something you may see in rural area inside the country

[@aderfigueroa]

Can you sell your chicken in the bus?

[@trixie_gt]

Yeah, Guatemala City isn't a tourist place like La Antigua Guatemala. This is why is cheaper, the prices are normal, how supposed have to be. And yeah Zona 1 and 6th Avenue was a really good decision to know more of Guatemala. Ther is a lot of old architecture most of the Art Nouveau architecture, and also Neo-Classical like the Cathedral. Some placese of Zona 1 are dangerous but 6th Avenue is safe.

[@TheNewTravel]

Thanks Beatrixie! Are you from Guatemala City? I would have liked to visit Zona 10 as well if we had a bit more time to explore :)

[@trixie_gt]

The New Travel Yeah. I'm from Guatemala. Zone 10 is nice, but is like a "exclusive" zone. A lot of buliding, business area. A lot of expensive restaurants this is is a little high prices. But is nice, a good place to have a nice walk. I recomend you, a place called "1001 noches" is a bulding with a lot of little restaurants of different types of food.

[@mr.taquito6716]

I honestly think you were very lucky, the area where you walked is one of the most dangerous in the city, mainly if you have a camera with you. But, as a Guatemalan, I really appreciate that you come and recommend our country. Thanks for that.

[@JonathanMedrano86]

Hi my friend it’s nice to see some take a chance to walk the city I live a few blocks from central square and it’s a nice place to take a walk, the building you mention is the ministry of the interior. Hope you enjoyed your visit.

THANKS FOR VISITING GUATEMALA CITY...WHICH IS UNDERRATED. THIS CITY HAS A POPULATION OF ALMOST 5 MILLION, AND ITS THE CENTER OF EVERYTHING IN THE COUNTRY. THE VIDEO SHOWED ONLY THE OLD PART, BUT ITS FULL OF MODERN BUILDINGS WITH MANY CULTURAL INTEREST AND SHOPPING MALLS. ITS ONE OF THE GREENEST CITIES OF THE WHOLE WORLD AND WAS DECLARED CITY OF CULTURE IN LATIN AMERICA 2019.

[@pazalvarez5704]

Hey Dan we miss you here in Mexico city hope you come back soon!!!!

[@mariianar9510]

O: great you are in Guatemala! I've been meaning to try that bakery that you went to lol!! , I live here in guate and my favorite thing in the city is how green most of the city is and the weather in general.. The "poshest" I guess zones in the city are 10,14,15,16 and and area called carretera a el salvador. If you come back you should definitely check out zone 4 it has a cool hipster ash area with pretty cool restaurants. I went to a high school here in guate that had american and canadian teachers and they were always surprised to see that guatemala has malls, modern looking buildings and sooo sooo much more than just antigua and tikal. You should come back! :)

[@taleighshacinto33]

Mariia R I will be there in a few weeks, everyone was trying to scare me, but now I feel at ease. Being from Brooklyn NY I am not scared of much, but they were saying how all police are corrupt and I will be kidnapped. Thank you for this Mariia R

[@mariianar9510]

it is great that you are coming :) just be careful with your belongings and try no to go to zone 1 alone and dont go at all to zone 2,3,5,17 and 21. Theres really a lot to do here, if you go to zone 4 ask the uber or taxi to take you to 4 grados norte. It is great that you are coming now when the economy needs it the most, with the volcano eruption that happened people think that it affected the city, tikal and antigua and they cancelled their trips. If theres anything else you would like to know feel free to ask me.

[@taleighshacinto33]

Mariia R thank you! I will stay In touch!

[@red88alert]

Also Tikal is beautiful and I loved it when I went but honestly, you were so close to Kaminaljuyu which is in Guatemala city. You should of checked out the site. It is also an ancient Mayan city which predates Tikal and was inhabited from about 1000 BC to about 1200 AD or around there. Theres a Museum as well at the Miraflores mall where there is literally a pyramid mound over part of the museum. You should really look into it when you go back. I love Guatemala!

[@estuardochoc]

Thanks for visiting us, you visited a small zone, most of us never pass by those places -we don't need to, just ocassionally-. There are far more different neighborhoods, Guatemala society is very fragmented and lives in very hermetic bubbles. Hope you were able to visit some of them to get a better perspective.

[@MichaelS-ze9yf]

You guys feel safe in that area. I’m going in a few months. Wondering about the crime

[@TheNewTravel]

During the day everything was okay. After dark I took a short walk and it felt very different. I would recommend not exploring after dark, but we had no crime issues at all

[@oleogabalo]

Ciudad de Guatemala is definitely worth the visit. Regards.

[@SweetTMakesThree]

Look! Payphones! I kind of miss those days. I'm glad you stayed safe and had a positive experience. As a female, I'd probably be on too high alert to vlog on the streets. Hey, a bird pooping on you is considered good luck so....Maybe next time? lol

[@TheNewTravel]

Haha! Yes they are becoming a thing of the past aren't they... still common in Guatemala City though. And Mexico City as well!

[@JorgeRamos-kj6nm]

I feel the good vibe of Guatemala here in California.

[@alexrodas9912]

Next time you visit Guatemala City go to Paseo Cayala you will love it there and it's where many foreigners visit. Zona 1 is not the nicest looking zona. Also Zona 4 is really popular and urban, lots of art and places to eat.

[@lauragallardo6629]

I like to get off the Gringo Trail.Iiside at the bus at the front above the door I remember there being a small sign showing what school board eth bus was from. Some of them haven't been repainted yet and still have the name of Canadian or US school board on the side.

You didn't even visit downtown where the sky scrappers are (Avenida las Americas). You just went to the old historical part of the city. You should have filmed places in the city like Paseo Cayala, zone 16, 14, 10 etc. Also the nice malls like Oakland mall which looks bigger and better than any mall in the L.A. area.

Where there is a lot of adventure, cordiality and kindness of its people.

Your such a cool guy I love how positive you are so I subscribed right away! My husband is down there, but in a poor village far away. He is trying to get his green card so he can come back to our home in the U.S. But I am going down there to spend some time with him and we will be staying in G. City.he had me a little afraid saying some of the owners of the hotels will have us set up to be robbed. Idk what to believe!
