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

Is Guatemala City Safe / Solo in the Historic District ????????

Welcome, my fellow adventurers, to the heart of Guatemala City's Zone 1! Get ready to witness a whirlwind of sights, sounds, and smells as we embark on a solo walking tour through the bustling streets. Along the way, we'll find out if Guatemala City is safe.

Starting in Plaza Mayor, we'll be surrounded by a swarm of activity - an electrifying vortex of energy that will leave you breathless. And that's just the beginning, folks.

We'll soon find ourselves in the throes of Mercado Central, a marketplace that pulsates with life and color. So brace yourselves, for this is where the true soul of Guatemala resides.

As we weave through the crowds, you'll notice something peculiar - the warmth of the people here is simply unparalleled.

Whether it's the vendors hawking their wares or the locals going about their day, Guatemalans' friendly and hospitable nature is unmistakable.

And let's remember the sheer diversity of this city - from the eye-catching architecture to the street art that seems to spring up everywhere you look. It's like a living, breathing canvas, a visual feast for the senses.

And so, as we approach our final destination, La Linea, remember this - Guatemala is a country of many wonders. Still, the friendliness of its people is truly second to none.

So come along, my intrepid companions. Let's experience the authentic spirit of Guatemala City's Zone 1 in Buffer the Tourist fashion.

Scary Situation in Guatemala Naughty Street

I unknowingly put myself in a sketchy situation in my exploration of Guatemala's Zone 1 or Historic Centre. I start off by exploring the main park, then I make my way to the naughty area of La Linea (you'll see why it's naughty), where you can see the unfortunate reality some people live and work in.

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.

Guatemala Is NOT What you Think

We landed in Guatemala City, Guatemala and it is NOT what we thought. If we had listened to some of our comments, we would have missed out on this beautiful country. Check out our first few days in the city.

Guatemala City is Awesome (and Dangerous?)

People want to know if Guatemala City is safe. Truth is Guatemala City is one of the most dangerous cities for travel in the world. But, that didn't stop me, or millions of other international tourists from coming here. Though I saw a total of three other foreigners the entire day. I also did a bit of a food tour near the end.

Most people blow right past Guatemala City for Antigua, but I chose to stay a few days and explore. I went to a mall, for local food at a market, and checked out Zone 4 and Zone 1.

I also interviewed a few locals about safety in Guatemala city. Guatemala may be a little (or a lot) dangerous, but if you're smart it's still a great place to travel.
