Guatemala, a captivating country located in Central America, boasts a rich cultural heritage and breathtaking landscapes. Nestled between Mexico to the north and west, Belize to the northeast, Honduras to the east, and El Salvador to the southeast, Guatemala is a land of contrasts. Its diverse terrain encompasses rugged mountains, lush rainforests, and picturesque coastlines along the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea.
Ancient Mayan ruins, such as Tikal, rise majestically from the dense jungle, revealing the country's fascinating historical legacy. Visitors can immerse themselves in the remnants of this remarkable civilization, witnessing awe-inspiring pyramids and temples that once thrived here.
In modern times, Guatemala is a vibrant blend of indigenous Mayan traditions and Spanish colonial influences. Colorful markets filled with intricate handicrafts, textiles, and traditional foods showcase the country's rich cultural heritage.
Outdoor enthusiasts will find paradise in Guatemala's natural wonders, from hiking the active Pacaya Volcano to exploring the serene beauty of Lake Atitlán, surrounded by towering volcanoes and indigenous villages.
However, the nation also faces challenges like poverty and social inequality. Nevertheless, the warmth and resilience of the Guatemalan people shine through their infectious hospitality and deep-rooted pride in their heritage.
For travelers seeking a mix of history, culture, and natural beauty, Guatemala offers an unforgettable journey through time and landscapes, leaving an indelible impression on all who visit.

A guatemalan here living in the us for 34 years, I gotta tell you that at times I got a little emotional with this beautiful video. Good luck to you guys.
We love to hear that! So happy you enjoyed it 🙏🏼
Hola chicos vendiciones disfrute mucho el video q bueno q estubieron en mi vello paiz cuidense mucho espero q ayan disfrutado mucho de Guatemala
Hope you guys made it to Semuc Champey its another unique paradise place
Absolutely beautiful, as a British Columbian, and having studied many south American 4,wheel adventures since the early 70's, this is bar far the best Adventure series, Thankyou
Thank you so much! We appreciate it 🙏🏼
What you guys are doing is just so awesome. The best vehicle combination. Those 70's Toyota RV Fiberglass with pop-up are sweet, and the updated drivetrain is perfect. The build out is perfect. Then the actual video. Storytelling is so phenomenal. This is like art. The shots, shot selection, the cinematography, the music. How it all fits into your story. The operation you're running behind it is so solid as well. It's clear both of you have some real talent and skill, and it is so awesome you get to travel through these places and tell this story. I hope to run into y'all one day!
Wow! Thank you so much for this comment. We appreciate you taking the time to write it. Definitely the fuel to our fire. 🙏🏼
Very lovely lovely country indeed! Guatemala Rocks! Former Spanish Territory, Amazing people, food, views!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Guatemala does rock!
As another fan says... Watching these again, all streamed together, gives a whole new perspective! Wonderful, glorious, fun... The best ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for visiting Guatemala 🇬🇹 and showing how beautiful and green nature is, God bless you and continue to enjoy the trip wherever you want you to go….
Thank you for watching!
Omg this was like an academy award winning production. Thank you for highlighting the beauty of the land that brought me into this world. I came to the US as a child and now find myself in my late fifties. I’ve only been back to visit a handful of times but that’s gonna change real soon. Thank you.
Belize 🇧🇿 loves everyone.. this is my country and we welcome everyone. 🙏
Comment part two after viewing this epic video. Although most longtime viewers have seen parts of this, the extended version brings an entire new appreciation for the country and your time there. I also feel like we got a little more insight into you guys as well. As a retired guy, I generally waste a great deal of the day and enjoy it. This hour and 1/2, was certainly not time wasted. Thank you both once again for taking us along on the trip of a lifetime. By the way, when I'm driving in the mountains and tell my wife to look over at something, she always says "You just drive".
We’re so happy you enjoyed it! We’re very proud of the films we’ve made, and love putting them together to make the long form movies. Thanks for watching 🙏🏼
When you can get someone to watch 1:30+ minutes on UA-cam, well you know you have good content! Great work! Amazing visuals. Good music choices too!
Haha awesome! Thank you so much for watching 🙏🏼
Another wonderful 97 minutes spent with you two! I know this trip is a complete bucket list for you both but we also must appreciate the hard work you put into making these beautiful videos to share with all of us. Missing you both tons but as always - much love 💜
I must be developing a sort of ESP about you guys. I've never really track when your videos come out, I just wait for them to pop up. Over the last two days I've been wondering if a new one was coming soon and hoping all was well for you. Now two spend some time watching my favorite YT channel.
Geweldig wat jullie doen prachtige dit pakken ze jullie nooit meer af Geweldig dat jullie dit hebben gedaan en waarschijnlijk nog steeds het blijven doen❤❤❤
So excited! We fly to guatemala city on Monday the 15th for a 2 week backpacking trip!!!

I loved in Guatemala for 19 months from Jan 2021. It is the most beautiful experience I’ve ever had. But we never had the time to see the country that you got to see. That was my big regret leaving.
Feeling nostalgic. You guys are the best. I wish I could own a ranch in Guatemala. Beautiful, beautiful country and this footage is poetic justice. You guys be travelling alone. Loner you are epic. Cudos. Muchas gracias amigo. The aerial shots...shot.
Thank you for watching!
Guatemala is no longer a third country.
Enjoy the coolest things on Guatemala
I just came across your videos yesterday! You guys are truly amazing. This episode hit home because I had the chance to share the beauty of Tikal and Belize with my 16yr old son. Both the people of Guatamala and Belize are some of the kindest and friendliest of people. It’s a time in my life, I’ll never forget. Thank you for sharing your adventures, I look forward to watching more of your videos… one world 🌎 one love ❤️
“Toyota, Are you listening?! Let’s go places!” … LOVE IT! I would totally use that as a slogan! 👍🏼

We have a video on Belize! We really enjoyed the country.
Biem benidos guate
You are quite the writer and poet my young friend! Still think you need stronger springs and travel clearance. Could you breakdown the power loss if any at high altitudes and the internals of the oil pan.
29:25 las aguas de este rio en temporada de verano son aguas color azul 😍
We can imagine it’s beautiful!
Groetjes uit Nederland
Must be so surreal experiencing these places in your own vehicle.
We can’t even describe it sometimes
‘Over-sea-er’s’ 😂😂😂😂 Hell ya Mathew, you’re a little young for dad jokes…but that one is a gem!
😂 starting early
Hi, really good documentary, may i can ask you where i can find details about U.A.S. Laws in guatemala
Yes. It seems I’ve seen this before yet it says it’s new. Confused.
