EVERYONE TOLD US NOT TO TRAVEL HERE: GUATEMALA CITY

In this video, we visit the infamous Guatemala City… a city everyone told us NOT to travel to. Everyone we spoke to, locals and travelers, told us that Guatemala City is extremely dangerous and that there is nothing to do. However, people telling us this made us want to visit even more! As full time travelers, we constantly remind ourselves that there are always many perspectives and sides to every story. Instead of listening to others, we decided to explore Guatemala City for ourselves. We hope you ENJOY :) Have you even been to Guatemala City?

The GUATEMALA CITY they DON’T tell YOU about! (con subtitulos)

What comes to mind when you hear Guatemala City or Guatemala in general? Is it danger? That it is an unsafe travel destination? Well unfortunately for many who haven’t visited this beautiful country those are the words they use to describe it, especially when it comes to Guatemala City. Guatemala City is not only the capital of Guatemala but it is the largest city in Central America. Most tourists choose to skip it all together based on it’s bad reputation but over our years of traveling we have come to know to not believe everything you hear or read on the internet so we have made it a point to seek the truth. Is Guatemala City a good place to visit? Are there fun things to do in Guatemala City or is it a place you should stay away from? Well we hope that this video gives you a bit of an inside scoop as to what Guatemala City is like so the next time you fly into Guatemala you can give it a chance or not! #guatemalacity #guatemala

ANTIGUA (GUATEMALA) might be our FAVORITE CITY in CENTRAL AMERICA! - travel vlog

We flew from Mexico to Guatemala to explore one of its most active volcanoes but before we did that, we needed to explore its best city Antigua. The people we met there were one of the nicest and we had so much fun exploring the different cafes, restaurants, museums and so much history to check out in Antigua. Come join us as we explore Antigua and its amazing people.

DIRTY & DANGEROUS! Historic GUATEMALA CITY is NOT beautiful like some might say...

Some Youtubers purposely paint a misleading impression of a place to please locals and gain likes / new subscribers. This can lead to somebody watching and then paying thousands to travel across the world, only to have their holiday / vacation ruined when they realize the video that persuaded them to visit said location was nothing but smoke and mirrors. Always be sure to investigate a place inside out so you can make an informed decision. There's way too many Youtubers sugar coating places these days (for their own personal growth of their channel).

On a side note, the everyday people of Guatemala City I met were genuinely very kind and sincere. It's the homeless people of Guatemala City who are wasted out of their minds on alcohol or drugs at all hours of the day (including sunrise) who totally ruin the atmosphere and sense of safety in the historic centre. Surrounding streets are not so safe and are plastered in graffiti. Go in numbers if you do venture into zone 1 and take caution at all times with yourself and your valuables.

This video is probably easier to watch that have me describe in here / why I came away with slightly dissapointed feelings about the historic centre of Guatemala City. Thank god for my stunning Airbnb; that place was my hide away retreat when it all because too much.

Is Guatemala City safe for solo travelers?

In this episode, I visited Guatemala City for a quick day trip to see if it was safe. Unfortunately, I recorded the whole day without my mic on. So I had to do a voiceover to capture some of the feelings I felt about the city. Hope you enjoy the content.

Barely Surviving our First 24 Hours of Van Life in GUATEMALA

Welcome to our first few days of van life in Guatemala! Not sure if we have any guardian angels left after this week, or if they've packed up to head to more relaxed jobs ????

↡ SHOP OUR ADVENTURE MAP HERE!↡


↠ A BIT ABOUT US
We're Chesca and Ben, and with our two pups River & Scout (???? ???? ) we live and travel full-time in our self converted sprinter van, Sophia. We spent the first 3 years road tripping and doing as much van life in Europe as we could, from the wild coasts of Portugal to the Syrian border in Turkey, tackling lockdowns and another DIY van re-build along the way. But, as restrictions get imposed on British travellers in Europe, we felt like a new challenge. In the summer of 2022, we shipped our tiny home on wheels to Canada to begin the Pan American Highway - taking us from Alaska to the bottom of Argentina. This is our journey, come and join us.
