I was heading to Guatemala back in 1976 and was in Mexico traveling overland by bus and I heard about the earthquake and ended up staying in Mexico for a couple of months the news was that it was a very bad earthquake and thousands died so I never made it there till the early 80s but my trip in Mexico was very good. It was a different world traveling back then I would say that Guatemala is one of my favorite places in my travels especially the Lake area.

[@VagabondAwake]

Yes, thank you, People are wearing masks mostly here. :-)

[@mikemikie8312]

Hi U2 love your walkabouts Qiang ,and the colours in all the art work painted everywhere it's even incorporated into the clothing showing the vibrant designs ,reminds me a lot of Aztec art .take care folks and thanks for another interesting video ,love it Dan when you give a little history of where you both are .

[@VagabondAwake]

Thanks so much 😊

[@marimorales2475]

Soooooo beautiful place...and landscape....in GUATEMALA 🇬🇹❤thanks for the video

[@dennissouthern9429]

I was on vacation in Guatemala about 15 years ago and visited lake Atitlan, Guatemala City, and the old Spanish historical city. Tikal was well worth the trip to see Mayan temple complex.

[@VagabondAwake]

[@johnvandenobelen8313]

Great video Dan I’m impressed with Guatemala 🇬🇹 it’s very colourful and seems to be fairly laid back!😎🌴

[@VagabondAwake]

I think so too!

[@w_w_whitey]

Wow, that brings back some good memories. Our favourite village was San Juan. I'm pretty sure that gallery at the beginning of your video is where we bought our painting. It's one of the popular "vista de pajaro" market scenes - we love it. Interesting no one seems to be wearing masks.

[@VagabondAwake]

The lake is full of surprises. Are you guys back in Canada?

[@w_w_whitey]

@@VagabondAwake Hi Dan, yes back in the Covid epicenter of Canada. Day 7 of 14 quarantine, but all good. Take care and enjoy!

[@AdventureWalk4K]

Enjoyed these scenes of life near Lake Atitlan, and lots of great information. Thanks for sharing. Hope to visit there in the near future! 👍💙

[@VagabondAwake]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@normaloura6194]

Guatemalans are the most humble, hardworking and modest people I have meet.👍♥️

[@VagabondAwake]

Yes they are!

[@bluestarfishsea]

I would have never found this place, it wasn’t on my list, but I love to walk, and there are so many places to explore by foot after you take the water taxi. Thank you for sharing!

[@VagabondAwake]

Our pleasure!

[@highlanderabroad884]

Great video and channel. I'm on Lake Atitlan right now, Santiago. I will head to San Marco next. Such a vibrant area, so many great opportunity form filming great videos for my channel and glad I came. Big sub right here, keep up the good work. 🙂

[@kevinmills2404]

Ok Dan, now I must go! So very cool!

[@VagabondAwake]

Very cool! Thanks Kevin. :-) dan

[@vhoy7899]

Hey Dan... you're such a generous and candid travel vlogger. I really like you. Thanks for all you do. Qiang, I have to ask you this, how do you keep your skin so beautiful and do you have a fitness routine. I'd like to see Qiang video on her must have beauty products when she travels

[@VagabondAwake]

Thanks for the suggestions. Qiang is right here. She said, "okay." :-)

[@mikewoodley8767]

I look forward to seeing Atitlan one day, many thanks !

[@VagabondAwake]

You should!

[@karenayla449]

I didn’t know this part existed in Guatemala.. will visit there soon. Thank you.

[@VagabondAwake]

Thank you KAREN Ayla! Your interactions help our channel grow! Have a great day. :-) Dan

[@LMDinNC]

The women in Santiago Atitlán wear the most beautiful scarves woven in a style unique to the area. I once asked one of them where I could buy a scarf like hers, and she sold me the one she was wearing. 😁

[@VagabondAwake]

Great story Lisa D. Thank you for sharing it with us. How much was the scarf? Your interaction with our channel helps us get subscribers and views, so we really appreciate it. Best, Dan

[@ftkinsella]

Hi guys, another great video. Guatemala looks beautiful and safe. I’d love to spend a few weeks there for a quick visit and a search for the best place to visit for six months. ❤️🇨🇦❤️ Cheers!!!

[@VagabondAwake]

You should! We loved it. :-)

[@onedirection3510]

Love the throwback phone at 9:55!

[@VagabondAwake]

[@kurtolesen2116]

@@VagabondAwake Hej Dan - I enjoy your videos and photoes so much and very good information. But in this video, I miss a better technical quality and I wonder if it is compression from upload.... o or just a cheap camcorder? I will maybe buy a gopro myself or the new Samsung Galaxy 21 - don't you think it will do it better? You did not answer on equipment? Do you use a gopro?

[@vhoy7899]

Thanks Dan and Qiang

[@VagabondAwake]

Thank you v hoy! Your interactions help our channel grow! Have a great day. :-) Dan

[@leneekay1]

GEORGOUS!! Love the culture, art, colors, nature, & everything else. Thanks so much for sharing😊 x p/s: Hey Dan, I saw something at the art & craft, was wondering do you think you can help us get it and send over. We will be so delighted, and of course we'll pay for it all. Think about it, and do let me know. 🙏🙏

[@VagabondAwake]

Sorry Pauline, we left there about a month ago. Our videos are usually about a month behind. :-) Dan

[@jonathanjacques7250]

Great info, thank you

[@VagabondAwake]

Thanks for watching!

[@bananapatch9118]

Dan, where would someone go if there was a medical emergency....any good hospitals close ? Thanks !

[@VagabondAwake]

There are a few clinics around. hospitalitoatitlan.org/ But for something serious you would need to go to Guatemala City. Not a realistic choice in an emergency.

any vaccination recommendations for travelling through Central and south America ?

[@VagabondAwake]

Here is my report about weird diseases you need to get shots for before traveling overseas. vagabondbuddha.com/what-shots-to-get-before-traveling-overseas/

@@VagabondAwake Thanks.

[@antoniotula262]

Well, i can take Lake Cuomo off the bucket list & add Lake Atitlan. I had never heard of it, much less seeing how beautiful it is!

[@Jon2.2.0]

Beautiful.

[@edgarrojas3145]

Very welcome to my country Guatemala Central America very nice video this my first time I saw your videos. Very beautiful gorgeous your wife. I'm Edgar Leonel Rojas Bendfeldet I hope you guys have a great time in my country Guatemala

[@VagabondAwake]

Wow, thank you!

[@omarperezperez582]

Hermoso video

[@VagabondAwake]

Thank you Omar perez Perez! Your interactions help our channel grow! Have a great day. :-) Dan

[@meltonsonthemove]

How long will you guys be in Guatemala?

[@VagabondAwake]

We are here about 1 more week. :-)

[@bluemoon2585]

Which town was your base to crash at nights

[@TheresaofTheWorld]

I’d love to find the shrooms while there!

[@justinbouy3153]

Did you do all this in a day?

[@VagabondAwake]

It took about 1 week.

[@mickeygarcia1876]

So If You Decided To Live In One Of These Villages, Which Would You Choose And How Would You Spend Your Time???

[@LMDinNC]

Anyone seriously considering moving there should start off in Panahachel. It’s easy to travel from there, there’s a lot to do there, plenty of cheap accommodations and other expats to talk with about their experiences.

[@kennethkilpatrick3758]

How's the internet? I'm in Oaxaca, Mexico now with very good internet but would love to kick back at Lake Atitlan.

[@VagabondAwake]

Hi Mickey, this Saturday morning Qiang and I will discus our favorite villages and cost of living in Lake Atitlan. Thanks, Dan

[@VagabondAwake]

Hi Kenneth, there is great Internet available there but not everyone buys the good stuff, so just have your potential host run the ATT test and send you a pcitrue of the results before you book. I use ATT Test. You can Google it.

[@usa_8163]

Hi, Dan. Qiang is fantastic. I've decided to come to Guatemala, try to wine & dine her, & propose marriage to her.

[@usa_8163]

I'm only joking, Dan(she is fantastic, though).

[@VagabondAwake]

Yes. She is a great catch for sure.

[@usa_8163]

Yes. And you two certainly make a great couple.

[@johnsauve3151]

Great content Dan! I cringe every time you say atitlan. It sounds like a teat lan, not a tit lan

[@VagabondAwake]

[@fernlevin4883]

A teet lan.... not...A tit lan ... thought you might want to know .. Your pronunciations are not correct a few times.
