I love escaping through your videos when life gets a little too much. It reminds me of how much beauty there is in this world and of all the great things I have yet to see. Thank you for keep showing us 🤍

[@TuristasEnGUATEMALA_PLAYLISTS]

A few years ago the second largest archaeological ruin in the world was discovered, and it is the first largest ruin of the Mayan civilization, in Guatemala, it is called DANTA, it is in Petén, You can get there from Flores by helicopter (takes 30 minutes) or walking through the jungle (you arrive in approximately 3 days)

[@sierrashavon6459]

So glad y’all decided to go on the impromptu sunset hike to see the volcano! Especially since you weren’t able to the next day. It’s a lesson to live and do the thing while you can because we never know what tomorrow will hold. Loved this vid! ❤

[@eljj7968]

Awesome! I have done a couple of volcano hikes in Guatemala as a solo female traveler and it was absolutely amazing - highly recommend to anyone thinking about it!

[@katie]

Elena this was such a good vlog! I loved just seeing your joy and energy reaching the top 👏🏻 so inspiring

[@alexandracmdavid]

The volcano eruption made me tear up. I don't tear up watching youtube videos. Loved this

[@shannonkirkpatrick6161]

Such a genuine and beautiful travel vlog! Thank you for taking us along for the adventure :)

[@nicky_rads]

Bravo Elena! So amazing. Thank you for sharing the Journey!

[@kayleighw9841]

You are my favourite KZbinr. Each of your videos are all at once comforting, relatable, inspirational but - most importantly - remind us that such adventure is achievable! Such beautiful shots in this, thank you for sharing

[@ozatanvi]

Your videos are like a warm hug on a tough day! 🤗 They remind me of the beauty out there and all the adventures waiting for us. Thanks for sharing these amazing experiences! 😊💕

[@KingMK31]

Your videos continue to be AMAZING! Keep up the great work!

[@Quetzal0te]

Besides simply enjoying the beautiful setting in nature what I learned from this video was to stay happy even when things don't go as we thought. Love to all true happy campers of the world! 👏 🌎

[@TTTTania]

I'm so happy you had such a good time here! 🎉 Thank you for appreciating my country ❤

[@Michelle-jp1jp]

I love that we are able to join your adventures through your videos!

[@marymason_]

[@instaerri89_photo]

Elena, this is the best video you created! So spontaneous and challenging....I don't know if you read comments, but I need to say "Congratulations" nothing else!

[@romiseanez]

Absolutely beautiful experience, thank you so much for sharing ❤

[@isabelmaaz4526]

Thanks for coming to my country! Hopefully you'll get to visit other of our beautiful locations, such as Lake Atitlán or Tikal! Love your content always 🩷

[@veronicalove8507]

Omg thank you so much for posting this video ! This hike is now on my bucket list 😮

Wonderful video Elena!! I loved this, thank you for sharing.

[@Lexijungle]

So inspiring, as always. Love your curiosity and will to share it with us. Sending love to you, thanks for being a bright light.

[@JanaaJanaaaa]

Loved the video! I was literally thinking about it before you said it in the video, I always see you as a person that can be everything all at once. Loving how you always show us different aspects of you and that everybody should chase everything that they are interested in.

[@Rigly123]

Guatemala has such a special place in my heart. So happy you got to experience the beauty of Guate, it's people and the volcanos!!!

[@AVG_JOS]

Dope video! Its one of the activities I want to do and helped with my summer plans to Guatemala. Thank you.

[@GoodLifeRoad]

Such beautiful footage you captured! ❤🌋

[@rachelmc9328]

I never usually comment on videos but WOW! What an amazing thing to experience 😍

[@timetraveler2060]

Awesomeness!! Thanks for sharing as well!! I say well done and I am so happy for you !! Great Stuff!!

[@ForestJumpOutdoors]

What a nice place... super calming video, thank you for making it :)

[@vicwilli6435]

LOVE LOVE LOVE. you are strong & I'm so here for your adventures🤍✨

[@MPOS01]

Elena, you're the most animated and alive when you're on the move. In Paris, i could feel your energy a little low. Wish you the best. Thank you for this beautiful vlog❤

[@Toonksbell43]

You are one of my biggest inspirations to travel and just go for the things I dream of, I want to live life like this

[@FidanIlhamm]

I love that you love this dual city and nature life. This is what I aspire to achieve. Enjoyed this video a lot ❤

[@kevinrivera-ws3yo]

I'm glad you enjoyed Guatemala...I really appreciate you visiting Guatemala 🇬🇹

[@jessbrown8912]

I did this in the autumn and it was honestly one of the most amazing things I've ever seen

[@Safiye96]

Such an inspiring video, one of my favorites you’ve made. I found myself teary eyed so many times and I’m not even sure why. I know exactly the feeling of wanting to push yourself to prove to yourself you can do it. And our bodies are so resilient. The other day I ended up kayaking 4 hours, 2 hours down stream and 2 up hours stream. I would never ever think I would be able to do it, and I just did it. One row after another. I felt so proud of myself and felt this exact sensation and it made me feel alive. Loved the video Elena!!

[@agustinazanuttini9439]

Elena, miro tus videos hace muchos años! Y me encanta porque cada vez estas más cerca de conocer mi país Argentina ❤🇦🇷❤

[@coconutqueenii]

that’s crazy! A friend hiked Acatenango a few months back, and also said hardest workout of her life. My husband and I considered doing that as well but we decided to hike Machu Picchu instead. Cheers!

[@sierrashavon6459]

How was Machu Picchu?

[@heynicolekunz1]

this footage is so magical!!

[@annalyndell]

Girl I am so impressed with your camera work!! 👏👏👏

[@AB-tb7bt]

Elena! I am from Guatemala and can't believe you visited my country! I also did this hike a few years ago and it is tough, particularly the hike to summit after base camp. It is an incredible experience though!

[@calidoc516]

What an incredible journey! Bummer you didn't get to see the summit, but man to see a volcano erupt at night?! Super cool.

[@itsmelexie1]

i just got back from doing the same hike!!! such an incredible experience.

[@AliceHollywood]

Wow that volcano got me emotional too girl! ❤🥹

[@JoelWilliam]

This was so cool!!!!

[@nocturnus009]

Love how this journey serves as a tangible callback to Kim Stanley Robinson’s Red, Green & Blue Mars Trilogy. The Intertextual Connections are going to illuminate my next Convergent Thought trip to my Meditation chair.

[@AmeliaEdmondson]

Reid and I just watched this together in absolute awe 😍😍😍 ur so cool

[@wishlock5695]

First, for the first time on all my time on youtube ! Been waiting for you to upload. So excited to watch!

[@alejandrorodriguez4189]

Wow this is beautiful and amazing!

[@daniellehardy1095]

Omg! I just did this hike 2 weeks ago! I watch all of your travel videos so that’s such a coincidence.

[@ThrivingGracefully]

Love this, adventure girl!

[@giladmoyal4801]

Great video, really enjoyed the cinematic shots. You talked about people from a more urban envierment who might want to travel more and see the world but might get discouraged. I thought it will be a nice subject to explore in a video about doing the first step to break this glass wall which stops so many from seeing what the world has to offer. Would love to hear your take about it.

[@thepanda145]

This video was very cool!

[@shriverclaire]

I did this hike for my 30th and can also confirm it was amazingly life changing! It's hard but you CAN do it for anyone thinking about it

[@loveisallyouneed3701]

One of my goals this year is to climb that volcano, I think it would give me life. So beautiful!

[@mairarodriguez8873]

I love love love love love this! That is all.

[@maferberganza8881]

Amazing ❤ I am form Guatemala I feel so grateful that you visit us✨, you must also go to “Hato Verde” in Antigua; night life is so much fun (on Saturdays in “El Barrio), you can also visit Lake “Atitlán” considered the most beautiful lake in the world 🌍

[@logandavidson3556]

Oh my gosh! Those views of the volcano are amazing!!!! 😍🫶🏼🙌🏻

[@emprendedorexitoso9262]

For the next time if you come through Miratenango farm you save like 2/3s of the very stiff first part and remember there's plenty of more Guatemala too see and you're more than welcome if you want to come back 😉

[@everythingvirgoes]

so so awestruck,, i feel so speechless

[@CarLa-xq9zv]

[@valerysanchez]

This kind of tours designed for people from the us where they treat you like a baby are always so funny to watch
