When people say to me, skip that country, it’s not worth it it’s like when they say to you, don’t read that book it’s not worth it. I always do the opposite, and believe me, it is worth it. Nice video my friend. Guatemala is a beautiful country.

[@nocheckinbags]

I could not agree with you more, I always do the opposite as well. We will have a lot more videos coming out from Guatemala soon. Thanks for the kind words, much appreciated!

As a Guatemalan I want tourism that gives opportunities and employment to many people who may be in need but also in the back of my mind I like it that it is still somewhat secluded and secret from big tourist industry. It is like the Koo I noor Jewel, you want to keep it safe because these hidden treasures in Guatemala are very vulnerable to over exploration and eco cultural degradation. Nothing like Cancun or Ibiza. More like a baby Louvre and Amazon combined, better kept safe and distant for future generations. Great video! 👍 💙 🇬🇹

[@nocheckinbags]

Thank you for the kind words my friend! I couldn't agree more, but with so many beautiful things to see in Guatemala, I believe more and more tourists will be coming.

[@j.a.9074]

You visited the city in a holliday, good idea. Those streets are impossible to walk in a normal day. It is a beautiful city, the weather is the best. It has problems as many other latin american city, but I hope you liked it.

[@nocheckinbags]

Definitely enjoyed the city a lot, I highly recommend it to anyone who will ask, but yes there are issues and things to avoid.

[@jo3damas]

@@nocheckinbags yes agreed, one of biggest things i recommend you should avoid are our sorry As, Polititians🤣🤣🤣🤣 no shame for me to share it, but one day soon that will change and Guatemala will flourish even granduorslly

Hi from Marseille…. Guatemala is beautiful place to visit riche and colorful Art, best taste food, and awesome fruits… Guatemala has beautiful places to visit and awesome History, of The Maya Tikal. To visit beautiful Guatemala you need to have a tour guide, or learn Spanish, you can not see much 3 days Any thing, you have arrived and on Easter time this is why are to many people outside… Guatemala Eterna Primavera means Spring Forever, beautiful forest exotic birds, lakes, best taste food, etc… I am glad you visit but you didn’t see much…. 🍃🌸🍃….

[@nocheckinbags]

Thank you for the kind words! We did spend a whole month in Guatemala, so we were able to see a lot of the country. You can see this in other videos on our channel, and more to come.

[@jo3damas]

In cayala lot of people lives there there are apartments, condominiums this can cost overUS $1million each. but theres also homes in the cayala neigborhoods near surroundings areas can also cost you big bucks, but there are other zones with beautiful communities where most of the riches people lives but if you dont have that kind of money there are good and beautiful and safe communities where you can buy a comfortable house under $150,000, it all boils down in how thick is your pocket

Hi I love your video. Nice comments about Guatemala 🇬🇹. I live in The States and we have good and bad places. I think that instead of listening or reading the bad about any country we should visit those places and find out for ourselves. Saludos.

Exactly, it is best to go see a country for yourself and seeing how it actually is on the ground.

We stayed in an airbnb right down the street from Torre Del Reformador, and right across the street from the Ministry of National Defence. A pretty good area for a good price, definitely recommend staying around that area.

[@christopherhouse7937]

Is it possible to find a studio or small 1 bedroom apartment near Guatemala City for under $300 dollars a month? In area that isn’t life threatening dangerous for a foreigner! Guatemala looks so beautiful.

Nice (and long) walk through the city. The guy you passed by @12:55 was the city mayor. And yes, people live in cayala, those were apartment buildings.

Wow no way, I would have never known that was the mayor. Was it the guy in the white sweater taking a picture with those two people? And yes after the fact/saying that I realized that lol. Cayala is a very beautiful and interesting district, did some reading up on it afterwards and learned a lot.

Bienvenidos a Guatemala. Felicitaciones por este video tan hermoso.

[@nocheckinbags]

Gracias por tus amables palabras, me alegro de que te haya gustado!

[@Walter_Arrecis_Letona]

El edificio del Ministerio de la Defensa es conocido como la ex-Escuela Politécnica de Guatemala, la cual era una entidad formadora de militares y fue traslada al interior del país. Nos molesta que los extranjeros les digan "chicken bus" a nuestros buses, aquí les llamamos camionetas de parrilla o extraurbanas. Ustedes vieron la alfombra de aserrín más grande del mundo, ese día se rompió el récord a nivel mundial. En el minuto 17:00 está la Iglesia del Calvario de donde sale el anda procesional más grande del mundo, la cual es cargada por 140 personas. Minuto 23:36 Palacio de la Policía Nacional Civil, Ministerio de Gobernación. Minuto 25:22 Iglesia de San Francisco. La Plaza Central o Plaza de la Constitución es el lugar de donde empiezan a medirse todas las carreteras del país, es el Kilómetro Cero, y es el lugar por donde pasan todos los cortejos procesionales de las iglesias cercanas, por eso siempre hay muchas personas el Viernes Santo. Minuto 29:10 Parque Centenario donde se firmó el Acta de Independencia de Guatemala y Centro América de España. Muchas gracias por visitar la Ciudad de Guatemala, ya que la mayoría de turistas se la saltan porque les dicen que es muy peligrosa. Aunque les faltó conocer el Sitio Arqueológico de Kaminal Juyú, una ciudad maya en pleno centro de la capital y el Mapa en Relieve de la República de Guatemala uno de los más grandes y exactos del mundo, construido en 1905 sin tecnología satelital. Los esperamos en una nueva oportunidad y mientras tanto les deseo muchos éxitos y bendiciones. Saludos desde la Ciudad de Guatemala.

Stereotypes are what makes people get shocked when it comes to explore places. I was also shocked when I first walked through the Los Angeles hoods, the ghettos in Detroit and Nashville. I was so impacted cuz the USA rarely ever shows that on the news or movies so we all think the USA is all perfection. but it isn't and in fact our cities aren't quite different. What makes the difference is the amount of wealthiest neighbourhoods. While in the. USA more and larger neighbourhoods, in the South America you sill find some but they are less and not as big as the ones in other countries but there's nice or wealthy neighbourhoods everrywhere all around the globe.

[@nocheckinbags]

Yes, very true, there are many beautiful and wealthy places all over South America and the world, of course. Our goal with this channel is to show people how it really is on the ground in all places, we want to include the good and the bad. We want to encourage people to travel and see how places are for themselves rather than what the media depicts it to be.
