  • Happy New Year! Here is our first upload of 2024...we're finally getting to our Guatemala series! Guatemala has so much to offer, we only scratched the surface during our trip. Antigua is beautiful and we didn't even get to experience it at its best (weather wise). Please enjoy part one of our time spent in Antigua, Guatemala. You don't want to miss the next video where we make our way to Lake Atitlan!

    *Just to clarify....we found out towards the end of our trip that Antigua is pronounced Anti-GWAH not Anti-GUH (like the Caribbean island). Please disregard our incorrect pronunciation. Enjoy and thanks for watching!

    • @smarro71
      @smarro71 5 місяців тому +3

      Yes the pronunciation of Antigua sounds like the first 3 letters of the word Gua-temala. Great video

      Antigua, Spanish word… it is pronounced just ONE WAY….. antigua..!!! If you see the word, antigua, you pronounce it, antigua, ….!!., it doesn’t have 2 different pronunciations……..

    Now everyone wants to travel to GUATEMALA, I have received a lot suggestions about Guatemala, all skylines and beautiful places... And delicious food etc etc etc...
    Guatemala is now the place to visit. I want to see Guatemalan Beaches 😢... Please!!

    I live in Roatan, Honduras and spent a long weekend in Antigua this past November for my bday and their amazing annual Festival de Flores .
    The trick to enjoy the stunning floral arrangements is to get out by 7am and walk around the city before the crowds descend upon the city.
    I was lucky enough to meet of the organizers who gaved me this invalueble advice!
    Check out the Charleston for exquistive cocktails-iTs a speakeasy, so the front looks like a gentlemen' clothing store.
    Catch sunsets from one of the many roof top restaurants/bars.
    Go to the lake for atleast 2 days. Do one of the overnight volcano tours!
    Disfruta Guatemala!!

    The tittle of your video is on target . As a Guatemalan I have to say my country is beautiful , it doesn’t get the recognition it deserves as a tourist destination . Hope you had fun exploring Guate , as we locals call it.

    Hi guys, I love your video. It is fantastic. If you have time to explore Guatemala City, I recommend it. I know the news on the internet is only sometimes favorable. But the big city has a lot to offer. Zone 4 has a beautiful area called 4 grados Norte. The nightlife is superb. I recommend Zone 1, Centro Historico, and 9 and 10. Zone 16 has a beautiful city called Cayala. Like any city, safety depends on us!! Saludos and feliz viajes.

    You guys are definitely a pair of very smart travelers since you are chosen to visit an underrated country that has so much to offer in term of places to enjoy. Guatemala may not have beautiful beaches. But you can find beaches anywhere. But not the type of climate, places and friendly people you'll find in Guatemala at very affordable prices.

As I stated earlier, Antigua and Guatemala City are my main focus. Do you have any experience or any information on how safe the main city is? Continue to travel and explore....

      Aaron is part of a pastoral team where all responsibilities are spread. When Covid first hit all of his work was virtual so we took advantage of that! Now we don’t travel during weekends and Aaron still does a lot of work virtual. What the vlogs don’t see is us in our room because he’s conducting a Zoom meeting or on the phone 😆
