- A lot of tourists stay in the resort areas of Lake Atitlan while getting drunk and partying all week. But what about the Mayan villages? What's there? What is life like in these untouched Mayan villages? I went on a quest to hear the Mayan language of K'iche in the villages and came out with much more....

Great video ; the family you visited look so happy 😊 😀
As someone who is reconnecting to my K’iche culture thank you so much for this video 💙 I loved seeing how humble everyone was
The mayans of guatemala are some of the friendliest in the world
That cloth he sold you is breathtaking. I hope you actually gave him a lot more for that. If you try and find those in the states it costs hundreds of dollars.
Thanks so much for this video I’m half Mayan and half Navajo I know not much of my dads side and he is kiche and he won’t tell me about the tradition because my mom said he was apart of a type of genocide that tried to ruin his people and because of colonization he rejects his tradition. I found this sad but I really wanted to learn about this side. You e been so helpful and thank you so much for the video!
yes cousin unfortunately this is the reality my father also is K’iche and the genocide was very hard but also another reason is because of fear of how indigenous ppl are treated throughout Latin America most chose to reserve indigeneity unfortunately even though teaching generations of our indigenous languages and cultures is a form of resilience and pride.
@@kokorechecocoinggy wow thanks so much for sharing!
Look up the cia genocide in guatemala it might be hard to watch but it's the truth.
This was a fun excursion! Maltyox!
This is just amazing. I'm at a loss of words, it takes courage to break molds that way
I’m adopted from Guatemala and my mom was from a similar K’iche village. This was super cool to watch. Thanks for sharing!
Glad to see you watched. Wanted to get the real feel of Atitlan! More village videos from Guatemala to come soon!
You know how cool that is? To know for a fact that you have Mayan blood in you? I hope it makes you proud.
@@Kay2be2mr I’m VERY proud!! And very thankful I have so much information on my background. I know many others adopted from Guatemala don’t know a lot about their biological parents. I’m very lucky!!
Thats pretty cool, thanks for showing
Wow! The people in the village are so warm and friendly. I can only imagine if a foreigner tries to come inside someone's home to only see theiir kitchen here in the US. What would happen? That would be a nice video lol
Very, very warm people. I am thinking of going back to Guatemala. I miss is already!
I am Hispanic but I want to learn more about my ancestors you know? This is nice
I’m learning k’iche right now!!
Great language
i wanna learn this language now
Me as an Indian (Hindi) lend up to this video while searching for mayans in guatemala. Good to see another Indian (my guess) narrating this!
Still love all your shit Paul. Rules
