Thank you for watching, yes, its an amazing location, I was only there for two months and then had to move on, but I could see me living there for an extended period of time. 🙂
Damn, I'm so jealous that you were able to explore the vibrant streets of Guatemala! It really is such a wonderful place with so many natural landscapes to explore! Great adventures as always!
Another great video and exciting location! All of that street art was beautiful! Good thing you went searching for that house, you found amazing views instead!
yea, I usually find you get the best offers when you just roll up and find a place in person. Easier to negotiate and check out the views in person. I stayed there for a month and loved the location. Thanks for watching. 🙂
I know, its splendid. If I'm being honest I've never been that much into street art, but after Guatemala I'm starting to appreciate the street art. Thanks for watching and commenting. 🙂
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. Yea, it was a great adventure, really glad I came here. Feels like there was more to see, there's just never enough time is there.🤣🤣
One amazing video. Phenomenal documentary about this town. You did an excellent job on gathering all these details. Thank you for sharing all this great info. for my future trip to San Pedro. Don't forget to try the falafels. They are delicious in San Pedro La Laguna.
The "indoor" market is not full when it's not market day. Saturday is market day, when the streets are basically closed and filled with vendors. I lived there for a few years and during the pandemic.
I literally lived there for six weeks and the market looked like this pretty much everyday. Yes, there were more vendors on the street during the weekend, but inside the actual market many of the stalls remained empty as is depicted in my video. Not sure how it looks now, but that's how it looked two years ago. Great little village and I enjoyed my time there. :-)
@@highlanderabroad884 I lived there for six and a half years up until last year. Were you there at the end of the pandemic, say 2021? It looked like that when everything started opening up again as it was a bit of a trickle effect. Last year it was active. Packed on Saturdays.
Nice to see another side of San Pedro from what we saw. We weren't too fond of what we saw unfortunately, but maybe we should have ventured out of the main area more! Great video!!
Thanks for watching. 🙂Yea, I get you. Believe me if I had arrived at the western port instead and seen the tourist trap I only would have stayed one day. I got lucky with my arrival point and loved it. How long did you stay in San Pedro?
@@highlanderabroad884 we actually only stayed in San Juan and were there for a week, but we spent about a solid 2 hours in San Pedro lol. Next time we come back we will explore more!
@@SirKonradits amazing how one persons poison is another persons pleasure. But to each their own. I am back in Antigua now and thinking about all the missed opportunities on Lake Atitlan, things I should have done. But there's just never enough time unless you actually live in the country. But I must say that I am extremely satisfied with everything that I have seen. 🙂
beautiful tour ! but a little to fast changing images . just add a couples seconds , so we can appreciate more of the beauty of it all . Thank you , anyway for this tour !😉😊
@highlanderabroad884 not yet ,I am planning my winner trip to guatamala so lake atitlan towns on my list ,I typed san pedro and your vlog was the first to to watch 😅
Looks like such a cool little town. The only drawback from my point of view is party idiots they tend to ruin places. So if I was to visit I would make sure I just avoided the locations they hang.
Yea, I'm not too fond of "begpackers" or hippies. the area I stayed in was not visited by tourists that often so I basically had the area all to myself. I did give the western people dirty looks if they ventured over to my area. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. 🙂
@@highlanderabroad884 There are currently a few bum-packer/ Neo-hippy channels inside Thailand teaching others how to sponge off the locals and just being a pest wherever they go they tend to attract the worst in foreigners much like the sex tourist channels promoting prostitution. As far as dirty looks go it is most often the tourist/expats who have a never ending scowl on the faces. They often look miserable and I often wonder why are they here. I live in a small seaside village that up until a few years ago saw very few foreigners now showing up because of these Lets Be A Foreign Pest channels. I was not pleased to encounter the Bum-Packer channel in my small town. They seem to go out of their way to break about every local custom in the book and piss off the locals. Thankfully most foreigners consider my town boring and quickly leave. Zero English spoken or written here so if you don,t speak Thai you end eating chips, beer, and hotdogs out of 7-11.
People who live here do not say east dock / west dock .... it is Pana Dock / or Santiago Dock ... I've been here 7 yrs and no idea where is east or west ... I know where the lake is .. and how to get where I need to go // no need a compass !
thanks for watching, Simon, how long have you lived in Guatemala. I actually leave here today, making a long trip to Greece for a wedding. You have certainly picked a wonderful place to live in the world. 🙂
@@highlanderabroad884 Been here for 20 years and am actually on the tourism committee here. Your video has given us a useful insight into peoples perception of the town. Glad you enjoyed Guatemala and if you ever make it back look me up. There is a whole lot more to San Pedro which i would love to show you. Enjoy the wedding
Thank you for the tour. my daughter lived there for almost 10yrs

Great video BTW.👍
I am a fellow Scot living in San Pedro. Shame i didnt get to meet you and give you a proper tour. Maybe next time
Yes, always nice to stop and speak with a fellow Scot, which part of Scotland are you from?
I liked your adventure vibe 😊
Great views and bargain hotel stay!
I know, it was the deal of the century. We also got free drinking water and the use of the kitchen which saved even more money. Thanks for watching. 🙂

thank you for watching and I appreciate your feedback. I'll try and slow down my machine-gun editing. 🙂
Thank You !
@@highlanderabroad884 Your machine- gun , lol ! Ha Ha Ha .
I would've taken the tuktu up the viewpoint and take a walk in the way back to the town ,thst was impressive and brutal hike 😂
yeah, it was a difficult walk, but once I get in the zone I can pretty much walk any hill. Have you travelled in this area?
