GIANT KITE FESTIVAL in GUATEMALA: Festival de Barriletes Gigantes de Sumpango Sacatepequez Guatemala
We visit the colourful Giant Kite Festival in Guatemala close to Antigua Guatemala. It is called El Festival de Barriletes Gigantes de Sumpango Sacatepequez Guatemala. It is celebrated on El Día de Los Muertos en Guatemala, also called Day of the Dead or All Saints day.
To get to the kite festival we are walking through the town of Sumpango. Here you find many food stalls serving delicious food. Except food you can buy for example traditional clothes and barriletes de Guatemala. We really enjoy our walk where we have the chance to see the local street life.
El festival de barriletes gigantes, is an event that has been on our bucket list for many years, and it is even more amazing and colourful than we imagined. Have you ever been to a #kitefestival anywhere in the world?
The Giant Kite Festivals on the day of the dead in Guatemala are held simultaneously in Santiago Sacatepequez and Sumpango Sacatepequez.
We choose to attend the kite festival in Sumpango Guatemala which is bigger and also closer to Antigua Guatemala. This kite festival Guatemala is arranging is so colourful and unique. If you want travel Guatemala 2020 or another year we highly recommend you to make a day trip from La Antigua Guatemala to Sumpango or see Barriletes Gigantes de Santiago Sacatepequez. Watch our other La Antigua Guatemala 2020 videos for more inspiration!
We recommend you to visit Guatemala Day of the Dead celebration, El Dia de Los Muertos Guatemala and take part in El Festival de Barriletes Gigantes de Guatemala.

Day of the Dead, Giant Kite Festival | Sumpango, Guatemala
[ Video shot and edited by Dan Perez Films ]
The magnificent Giant Kite Festival takes place every year on Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) in Sumpango, Guatemala. The practice of flying kites during the Day of the Dead goes back several thousand years. It is believed that the kite (or barrilete) creates a connection of communication between the spirits of the dead and their families here on Earth.
In Sumpango, kite makers (barrileteros) work for months from after work to late in the evening to prepare the kites (some as large as 20 meters) for the festival, which takes place on November 1.
The kites resemble giant paintings, similar to a giant mural you would see in Miami's Wynwood Art District or the Bushwick Collective in New York. They are made, however, using layers of hand-cut, colored paper, the same type of thin paper used to line gift boxes(!). The kites are then folded up and taken to the festival where they are fastened to large bamboo poles for display or for flying. I traveled to Sumpango this year with my teenage daughter to capture a few images from this remarkable festival with my Lumix GH4.
Enjoy.
Music: Floating in the Sun by Azoora

ANTIGUA 2023 ???????? Guatemala Drone Aerial 4K | Sacatepéquez
Antigua is a colonial city in Guatemala, Central America which was founded by Spanish conquerers and Catholic missionaries in 1524. However, there are still remains of a Mayan city on the same location which was much older known as Kakchikel. Antigua is without doubt one of the nicest colonial cities built by the Spanish in Central America. Many churches and houses are built in Baroque style. Although 60,000 people lived in the 1700s. Nowadays 35,000 live in the city. Due to tourism many locals afford a living in the high mountains of Guatemala. There are many churches in the city. However the Santa Catalina Arch is one of the highlights of the city. The city is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
