  • Monica and I are back in Guatemala City and this time for the Holiday Season! If you didn't already know, Monica and I eventually plan to retire in Guatemala and in this video you will join us on our search for the perfect apartment of our own in la Zona Viva.
    After touching down at La Aurora airport, you'll see what life is like living in the city's zone of life at our Arbnb apartment in la Zona 10. We'll head to some our favorite restaurants like Tre Fratelli and Montano's and visit some new ones like 12 Onzas and El Juevo Frito where we'll have Gallo beer or two and of course some cigars. Given that it's the holiday season, we'll get into the Christmas spirit shopping for gifts at Fontabella Plaza where we'll visit some of Guatemala's high end stores and even stop for gelato. The rest of our time we'll catch up with old friends and meet some amazing new ones who will invite us to their parent's 50th wedding anniversary party! We'll go off the beaten path to discover new things too like Guatemala's La Aurora Zoo for some wild times and adventures with the animals and of course rejoice and celebrate with the family.
    Finally, we'll celebrate my cousin's upcoming wedding to his new and beautiful bride and plan our trip to attend the nuptials in Antigua the following week. Please stay tuned for that video coming up soon. Oh what fun it is to spend the Holiday Season in our beloved Guatemala City!
    As always, thank you for your continued support and please like, subscribe, comment and share!! Also, if you are interested in visiting Guatemala I've left a links below to help you get started planning your next adventures in our beautiful Guatemala:

    I have watched this video 5 times now! Truly the best video showing us Guatemalans who have good jobs in USA and plan on buying a property in Guatemala City. Every other video I’ve watched is some American trying to “survive” in the city or trying to eat for $8 a day. This is exactly what I dream about doing soon, buying a nice condo, going to nice cafes/restaurants, cigar lounges…amazing video!

    • @DavidFontana-LionsWork

      I am so happy you appreciated the video! Guatemala is an uber cosmopolitan city with such refinement and upscale offerings which you obviously appreciate like I do. It is where I too plan to retire in the next few years and spend at least 6 months out of the year there. Thanks again Rudy! We'll have to get a Ron Zacapa and a cigar in Guatemala one day soon.

      I had the same concern and did a lot of research before going. I even went so far as to contact the Guatemalan Aeronautic Department but could never get a straight answer on that subject. The best I could gather was that any drone under 250 gms was ok to enter without registering it. I use the DJI Mini 3 Pro so it was no problem. No one even asked about it at customs.
