      Is so beautiful and rich the United Kingdom of Guatemala established since 1609 and that extends from El Soconusco (today Chiapas) to part of Panama. Guatemala is 12th producer of silver in the world and 20th producer of gold besides having massive reserves of nickel, jade and so many other natural resources too bad big foreign companies have been taking almost everything for more than a century. God bless

Guatemala es 12avo productor de plata en el Mundo y 20mo productor de oro ademas de tener enormes reservas de niquel, jade y tantos otros recursos naturales.

    This video needs some kind of clarification added- if you google Antigua Canopy Tours (the name of the tour featured), the first result will take you to a site that is not located in Guatemala. It’s on an island in the Caribbean. I only realized this after I had already booked a tour with them and arrived in Guatemala.
    Trek Guatemala is the company that offers the canopy zipline tours. Someone needs to add a link to the correct website in the video’s description

    This is a copy/paste from another comment, that is relevant on it's own as well: The battle over Belize is already going on in international court. It has already been proven that the original territory given temporarily to English people, is quite small, about 1/3 of the whole of Belize. In addition, the English did not complete our arrangement, which was that they would build a road, from Puerto Barrios to Guatemala City, and then, to Puerto Quetzal. Therefore, if the British Government will not build the road, Guatemala will receive compensation for this shortcoming, as well as recuperate most of the territory (as Guatemala's intention is fair). In any case, Central America, should reunite as the 'Federal States of Central America', in order to promote unity and development across the region. All countries will still participate in a democratic fashion, but we would increase our competitive advantage and count on 55 million people as a whole, to develop new and stronger strategies. Imagine this, we could have a train system running through the region, no borders for tourists to stay as long as they want, and incentivate foreign investment. The purpose is not to disunite us, but to embrace all of our people and rise... This is what the Unites States of A. did; we could do it in a more respectful and diligent manner, creating a great nation. The United Republics of Central America...

The Land of Jacobo Arbenz, Miguel Angel Asturias and Kjell Eugenio Laugerud. From 1926 to 1984 the Guatemalan currency the Quetzal was paired with the French Franc, the US Dollar and above the Swiss Franc. For almost a century Guatemala have been victim of exploitation and big foreign intervention and sabotage. God bless

    Guatemala is so beautiful... They should recover its rich territory of Belice. The cruelest cartel is the english monarchy . Because england is a small island (of only 132,987 kms2) with no resources they stole from all over the world from over 200 years.. And the criminal english monarchy should pay multibillion euro's compensation to Guatemala for the occupation of their Belicean province.. Kjell Eugenio Laugerud (son of norwegian father and guatemalan mother president of Guatemala from 1974-1978) was going to invade it ans recover it but the big earthquake derailed his patriotic plans... Kjell Laugerud kept the guatemalan quetzal above the US dollar.. God bless the men of good will.

      The huge problem is english corporations have been exploting the guatemalan territory of Belice for over a century and some US corporations and mining companies as well. Guatemala need to get back its territory of Belice and sue the pirate and criminal monarchy from the small island of England for usurpation. England is such a small island and with so limited resources that their pirate monarchy had to sent pirates to great part of the world for centuries to rob and sack. Belice is 100% mayan land with 60% of mayan descent and other 40% descendents from black slaves thath the english pirates and corporations borught to work in Belice centuries ago. God help and protect the man of good will"
