- 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.

Wow!!! That was awesome!! I visited Guatemala some 20+ years ago. Amazing to see all the positive. Thank you both for producing this episode 🙏 it was like being there again. 😀
I’m glad we could bring you back!
Me too lol. Spanish language school in Antigua for a week too
@@TheYarbros Guatemala is so beautiful MEDIA is not something to be believed anymore they hsve been telling lies about Guatemala for so long thanks for this informative video may God bless you all this is Melanin Brother from Brisbane Queensland Australia 🇦🇺 🇦🇺 🇦🇺 🇦🇺 🇦🇺
@@rubenprince8990 Hola Bro! Yes "the media" has its own agenda. Thanks for watching!
I couldn't agree more. Guatemala City is a fantastic, clean safe city. I am there right now and my original plan was to stay 1 night in the City and then head out to Antigua. Well, 6 days later, I am still in Guatemala City enjoying the pizza, cafes, the cool climate and great coffee. The vibe is cosmopolitan. I have talked to so many friendly people here. I will definintely be back again. All the guide books and internet sites say to leave the city quick. Boy - are they wrong! By all means, Guatemala City is a destination in its own right.
Yes sorry! Everything we read said the same thing.... leave and leave quickly. They were just wrong!
THANK YOU for this. Thankfully I've been safe in my travels to Mexico, from Baja California to Guanajuato. I can't say enough about how loving and welcoming my paisanos are. Stay safe.
My city , MY HOMELAND ✊🏽 🇬🇹
I had a big ole smile throughout the whole video ! I am a Canadian with Guatemalan Roots ! Thanks for shedding a positive light on my beautiful country. A piece of my heart is definitely in Guatemala 🇬🇹
Glad you enjoyed Guatemala! We are generally down to earth and friendly people . Hope you return one day ❤️🇬🇹
We will!!
I love Guatemala, but the best places for me were Tikal, Antigua, Lake Atitlan, Hobitenango, Mt. Pacaya. Guatemala is tied with Colombia for my favorite country to visit, so far. Enjoy! Glad to see Guatemala getting some exposure. Love your videos.
Hopefully we'll get a chance to check some of thise places out! Thanks for rocking w/ our content!
@@TheYarbros you're welcome. Always enjoy watching you two. Hope you love Guatemala as much as I have. There is so much to do there! I've yet to visit Quetzaltenango or Livingston. Both are appealing to me.
God bless you Guatemala is beautiful the tikales the mountains volcanoes and other more beautiful I invite you to Guatemala I am from. GUATEMALA 👍👍👍😅😅😅🇬🇹🇬🇹🇬🇹♥️♥️♥️
Antigua is a really nice place, specially on holidays. My favorite is Semana Santa (Holy week)
I use to work with some people from Guatemala and they were the most warmest people always offering me food and inviting me to their parties. Guatemala City looks so nice, hope you both have a awesome time ❤️
Thanks and yeah, I never knew they were so hospitable here!
I visited Guatemala 2 weeks ago! The people of Guatemala in general were very friendly and welcoming. I visited Lake Attitlan, Antigua, Port of San Jose and GC.
Sounds like a great adventure!
I loved living in Guate and I miss it every day! So glad you guys are having fun out there 🇬🇹
So glad we came!
I’ve never been to Guatemala, but I’ve only heard great things since the late 80’s, when I met many people (all white American and European) who’ve been, love it, and go back. My impression, back in the day, was that it was a homey, wholesome place with sweet people.
Really enjoying the people here!
Wow, you guys did it the right way. My country gets a bad rap for being not safe . It’s just like any other country , there are bad places, and good places. It warms my heart that you decided to venture , and explore Guatemala. By the look of this video , you had a good time. Hope a lot of people see this video , and change their perception about Guatemala. Good luck in your travels!!👍
Thanks for watching!
Love your country
Im going to Guatemala (first time going to another country) next month! Thank you for making this!
Welcome to Guatemala. You Will love this country.
Thank you for watching! We hope you have a fantastic time!
Also, congrats on becoming international!!🎉🪅🎊
I just purchased Frontiers summer pass and Guatemala is on the list. This has been such a great video and very broad! I also appreciate travel perspectives from skin folk. Thank you!
Thank you! Hope you have fun in Guatemala!
Wow…loved all the fresh fruit and veggies, loved the market. It seems like the people are amazing
They are amazing...that is the most surprising part...we were not expecting them to be so welcoming.
Ustedes serán bienvenidos cuando así deseen regresar a nuestro país.
Gracias por ese video precioso!
Gracias por ver
Great job with this video, thank you showing the beautiful but historically troubled country I now call home. Most visitors are surprised at how developed the city is and some Tico friends of ours from Costa Rica were blown away since San José, Costa Rica is probably 20 years behind Guatemala City.
We're blown away by how kind everyone is.
Y'all totally knocking my socks off! This video is one of the best I have seen on a "first impressions" video of a new place! I could almost smell the coffee in that first coffee shop! WOW! I do love Guatemalan COFFEE!! Most coffees from Central America rock! your video shots in the coffee shop were "spot on" The Bar with the beer tasting reminded me of a few places I have been in both Colorado and Bend Oregon, the people were very friendly ( thanks for showcasing that!) The streets did look very clean and modern ... the outdoor mall where you got the patches very NICE!! serious bartering skills!! :D Love love love this place so far and cannot wait to see MORE!!
Ohh wow! Thank you so much!. Love the encouragement.. trying our best to relay our experiences to you guys! Glad that it is being well received!
Great video and looking forward to more from Guate and your discoveries.
I’m half Guatemalan and half Salvadorean and have been told I’m tall and i’m 5’2 🤣😂
That fresh fruit looked so amazing… so much fertile land there 💗
Thank you for bringing us along ☺️🙏
Being surrounded by all of this fresh fruit is awesome for our diets! Thanks for watching!
I'm half Guatemalan 🇬🇹 and! Salvadorian 🇸🇻 too 5'9 here ...
Im Guatemalan and I'm 5'8.. But when I was back in the states I was average... Hahaha
@@gabymonterroso41 you are tall at 5’8 😄
Guess we adding Guatemala to the list thank you for always having great videos :)
Thanks for watching! ☺️👍🏽
So fresh and so clean was a great description of what y’all showed us. Beautiful city 😊
City really showed us something we weren't expecting.
I hope y’all have more videos on other parts of Guatemala. Enjoyed your message.
Thanks we put out a couple of more videos about Guate.
I’ve been going on mission trips to Guatemala for several years. We’ve never stayed in the city, we go to the mountains and the last two days of our trip we get to stay in Antigua, which is one of my favorite places to visit. I can’t wait to go back. 💕
Who do you assist on your missions...orphanage, homeless...wonder where the needs are here apart from what we obviously see.?.
I'm loving traveling with you folks, and now Guatemala. Your video skills are outstanding, thank you for sharing them with us. Keep the good travel on for sure.
We love your company! Thanks for rolling w/ us!
This was a great video very informative. Haven’t been to Guatemala but its definitely on my to go list! Thanks for a great travel vlog!
Thank you Renee! We never know how our little vlogs will be received and love when ppl like you let us know. Thank you for being the fuel in our tank! You are appreciated🙂☺️
Guatemala is the most multicultural country, in the región the whole metropolitan area of Guatemala city is 5 million people. Thanks for showing my home town! Salu2!
Livingston is where the Afro Latinas are and I can't wait to visit there!
Yes, that whole history is fascinating to me the more I learn the more questions I have. Enjoy when you go!
We visited Guatemala in 2000, and loved it!
We're digging it too!
I am happy you had a good time in Guatemala. I always enjoy the country every time I go back. Guatemala City is my hometown. Too bad you did not go to Peten. The heart of the Mayan world.
What we explored was great to us! Great country filled with wonderful people. Thanks for watching.
Wow Looks exciting I can’t wait to see more from Guatemala. Everyone seems to be welcoming. I hope it keeps getting better.
Enjoy stay safe 🙏🏾
Yea that’s been our experience so far. We look forward to seeing more as well!
Guatemala is on my list - may need to move it to the top for this year!
We didn't expect what we found!
Ali Crain welcome anytime
Patches! You two are wonderful. Guatemala seems to be happy to meet you. Look forward to the continuation.
Yes, they suprised us with their warmth....we. yes #onward! -Thanks for watching!!!
Would love to try some fresh Guatemalan coffee! Love how y’all collect patches from your travels.♥️♥️
Thank you for visiting my country 🇬🇹 !!!
I’m obsessed with y’all! Thank you for the great content ✨
Aye, Jessica appreciating the support.
Great video and tour guys! Watched the whole video and can't wait to go there again!
We're so glad you enjoyed it!
So true . Is so rich and beautiful 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 for almost a century big foreign anglosaxon multinational corporations have been taking almost everything. Long live Juan Santamaria the heroe of Costa Rica who died in battle against the anglo pirates. The Malvinas belong to Argentina, The Esequibo belongs to Venezuela and Belice belongs to Guatemala. Guatemala exploited and sabotaged for almost a century but never gives up!!. God bless
I really enjoyed this video. Super clean city and friendly; opposite from what we are told in the Media here.👍👍👍👍
One of the main reasons we are out here is to see for our selves after being deceived for so long! Thanks for enjoying the content!
I stayed in Livingston for a month, you guys should go and I would be looking forward to hearing what your thoughts are (especially if you are looking to explore Garifuna culture). Greetings from Poland! Stay in Casa Rosada if you go!
Beautiful textiles and handmade items. Thanks for sharing this info. Definitely what to check out this country. Have fun!
Thanks for being here and supporting our channel! Thise pieces tool such skill. Love that artistry of it all!
20:42 Guatemala has a long tradition of fast food chains. McDonald's was opened there 48 years ago. Fun fact: the concept of the Happy Meal was brought by Mc Donald's Guatemala. Wife's main owner of the brand in Guatemala came up with the idea and was then adopted by the main corporates in the US.
Looking forward to seeing more of your travels in Guatemala 🇬🇹 Appreciate you sharing your travels w us all. Enjoy ✌🏻✌🏻
We appreciate you rolling along on our journey! Loving the company!
This video provides great content. It is meaningful and very helpful. Appreciate the two of you sharing your adventures with us. Your videos are positively impactful!
Thanks a lot for sharing that with us! We're so glad you found it helpful!
Yes!!! Definitely an informative vid y'all, thank you. Look forward to the next phase of the journey. Stay safe
Thanks for staying up on our adventures....and yes safety 1st! Enjoy your day!
Thank you guys! I’ve been searching high and low for someone on TH-cam to give their perspective on Guatemala! 😅
Thanks for visiting my city and show how nice it is! I was born and raised there and moved to the states about 20 years ago. I miss that daily fresh fruit and the friendly faces of my people. ♥️
I'd miss that too! You have a beautiful home filled w/ wonderful people.
SO excited to see what is ahead for you in this new country!!! Yayyy!!!
😁😁😁 Thanks for your support we love it!
I love it 🥰 you been great to post this totally positive video about my motherland!
Hello Yarbros, Enjoy Guatemala! I loved it there and want to return. I went to Antigua and Livingston, check out livingston where people of African decent live. Nice slow pace town. Have fun.
Antigua is close so we're definitely heading there. I want to hit the coast to investigate Livingston but I don't believe it will be a financially wise investment yet. Dreaming of a day when I can do the documentary type vids I wanna do and get paid for doing them... anyway all things eventually #GodWilling
Lived in Antigua for a year decades ago. It doesn't change, thank goodness. We used to go to the Taco Bell in a Guate City mall lol. And yes, we crossed the border on his Mexico to Guatemala, one very noticeable difference was clean sides of the road and streets. And yes, always negotiate in Mercado, just offer 1/2, settle on 1/3 less lol
Yes, yes and yes to all of that.😄
Can’t wait to hear more about the blacks in Guatemala 🇬🇹. Loving your Guatemalan stay so far. Enjoy!!!
Looking fwd to learning more as well. Thanks for watching!
Enjoyed. Thanks for being open minded in your travels.
Thanks for watchinggggg! 😁
Absolutely love your spirit and the vibe you both put forward. Watching your videos is like having a friend show you around their neighborhood. New subscriber. Glad I found your channel.
Wow, thank you! W Love those comments. It is definitely how we feel. Welcome to the channel friend!
When I took off work to go to Guatemala, my boss asked if I was going with a church to do missionary work. He was perplexed when I told him it was for vacation. I think it is one of the most incredible places I have ever been.
Can’t wait to see your future videos! It’s always great to learn about other Latin American countries :)
Can't wait to show them to you! Thanks for watching and commenting!!!
Thank you April and Rondel for showing the world that Guatemala is a vibrant, modern, clean, safe and a country full of impressive Mayan history. Thank you again.
Thanks for taking time to watch!
TY for another great tour. I enjoy seeing other countries vicariously through your eyes.🧡🦋🌻

Thanks for watching! 😄
Your videos have gotten better and better. Its funny I was in Guadalajara and then Guatemala city the same time as you, wish I had run into you.
One place in Guatemala city of you're still there is Cayalá its quite fancy and nice part of the city. Completely different vibe feels more like Spain or something
Yeah, Cayala was a pretty cool spot!
Nice video guys. My fav so far on the country. Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video….good introduction to Guatemala …..thanks!!
Thanks for tuning in and checking out our channel.
Great video! Glad you enjoyed Guatemala!
Amazing trip guys! Have fun 🤩
Wow! Nice video! Thank you so much 🥰
Thank you!
Added to bucket list, thanks Apryl and Rondel! - Anne
Hey Anne 👋🏾👋🏾 🙂
I stayed in Guatemala for 2 months back in 2017 mostly in quetzaltenango (xela) which is two hours from the city then I visited Tikal, atitlan, the city, Antigua (the only place I saw other Americans). Also check out lago Peten itza which is not very well known. The people are so very friendly.
Okay! Thanks!
Wow amigos, I just loved your video. Thank you for sharing this wonderful video about my country. As you see it is not as some people say. Not dangerous, not dirty nothing negative. Guatemala is such an underrated country, you'll be surprised. The positive issue is that you have so much to see, discover, its people treat you the best way possible and they are very kind as well. Come back when you desire. Blessings.
July 7, 2021 we flew into Male airport with a speed boat ride to our resort, SAii Lagoon in the Maldives. Amazing trip, so grateful to God for the birthday trip gift. Staff on the island very friendly but the other tourists not so friendly. I did not let that behavior negatively impact my enjoyment. We plan to visit Guatemala July 2022. So glad to hear you both enjoyed the visit. Thank you for sharing.
Love seeing couples travel. You guys are so amazing!
Aww shucks ☺️ Thank you and thanks for enjoying our content.
I guys welcome to Guatemala thanks for visiting this beatiful country
🌻⛱what a beautiful city and you look so happy, viva Guatemala y los Yarbros!!!..🇲🇽
😄😄😄
So true. Guatemala is so beautiful, rich, magical and unique. Guatemala for more than a century has been full of natural resources and minerals. Belice will always be part of Guatemala . God bless
@@hugoberlusconi I want to visit Guatemala bc every person I've met from there is very friendly and I have the best conversations with them. I love their textiles and of course the food too. I never knew that Belice was part of Guatemala! Be well⚘
@@MariaGarcia-by8yg Yes I know Guatemala is so beautiful, rich and unique in so many aspects and yes by law and history Belice is 100% Guatemalan territory; Guatemala must recover part of its Belicean territory through its legitimate international claim that started almost 2 centuries ago. So many abuses have been committed against Guatenala through history. God bless
I love going through the journey with you and finding something new and exciting. 😎
Love having you w/ us!
Excellent video Yarbros 👍
Thanks!
You guys are so cute! Have a great time!!!🥰

Hello. I am a Guatemalan-American that was born and lives in California. I visited Guatemala in 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020. I visited my relatives and went to famous places in Guatemala. I also distributed Spanish Gospel tracts in Guatemala too. And I am going to visit Guatemala again in May.
Same!
Cool video, thanks for visiting.
Thanks for watching!
Love this channel!
Thanks guys!! You’re the best & I need to fly in guatemala asap 💯💯💯👏🏽🤛🏽
It was an nice suprise!
Cool you enjoyed your visit!
Loved it!
Awesome. I visited a Mayan ruin near Guatemala in Belize. I hear there are Mayan ruins there too. Truly a spiritual experience. Safe travels.
The same to you and thanks for watching! We did a Mayan ruins tour in Belize as well where we had to swim into the cave....helluva experience!
Hi my friend Belice is part of Guatenala legally and historically Belice is 100% Guatemalan territory even comes from the native indigenous word Belix. Guatenala for almost 3,000 years has been Mayan Land like Tikal was the center of the great Mayan Civilization.
@@hugoberlusconi Belize is not a part of Guatemala. It may have been before the Guatemalans still want to take it back.
@@ChasExplorz because Belice will always be part of Guatemala legally and historically the Guatenalan territory of Belice was illegally settled by english pirates who only had a permit to exploit lumber in about 4,350 kms2 then with time they didn't leave the Guatemalan territory of Belice and with decades advance south invading more land from Guatemala until they occupied 22,343 kms2 ... but land was taken in very evil and illegal way and the english pirate and criminal monarchy knows it for more than a century and had tried to bribe Guatenalan governments to make legal the 2 centuriea occupation with no success in the last 160 years... Your aon will alwayw be your son no matter if He is stolen by a big banker Rockefeller or Rothschild and sponsor him thorugh his life and even try his identity and even his name ; your son legally will always always be your son .. this is the case of Guatemala and its territory of Belice my friend.
@@ChasExplorz legally and historically Belice is 100% Guatemalan territory; it doesn't matter the english monarchy piraterism and abuse around the world.
Every single place in Latin America is welcoming. See we are the kind of people who like to share our culture with the world.
Thank you for visiting Guate, I hope you enjoyed, greetings from NY
Hola . and we had a great time there!
Excited to see you two explore more countries.. Is there a plan for the patch collection?
Oh yes we've already started. Every country (about 80 more to go) we go to.
Hope you guys have fun and eating all kinds of different kinds of fruits , vegetables an green areas enjoy Guate
Thanks for showing how beautiful Guatemala is blessings my brother 🇬🇹 🙏
Our pleasure!
That’s wild. I’m also from Michigan! Metro Detroit area. Great video! I definitely need to visit Guatemala one day!
Thanks! Make it out there the adventure is awesome.
Glad you are experiencing a new beginning in a new country. Stay safe
Thank you, we will.
Great couple! Glad you can make your coin, travel, and explore your best life. 😊
Lol oh were struggling for that coin but having fun in the process of chasing our dreams! Thanks for the love and support!
We’re all struggling. At least you get to go on adventures and enjoy each other’s company along the way. 😉
Thanks You so much for visiting My country, there are so many diferent places to enjoy. I just came from there
Guatemala is best known for its volcanic landscape, fascinating Mayan culture and the colorful colonial city of Antigua, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. But this small Central American country has a wealth of homegrown produce and talent
Thanks
There actually no maya culture it’s a mixture of beliefs. Mayan empire went extinct thousands of years ago
@@myworld4257 there was no “Mayan empire” there were Multiple Mayan city-states, all different ethnic groups…and we are still here.
@@jaimeventuraosorio1265 not true, if go back before the colonization, there definitely was a maya empire. Siempre hubo un imperio maya, ya está extinto y sólo queda los descendientes. Nada mas.
