just FYI, the nim store recommended in this video is complete tourist garbage. But I found an indigenous handmade store with amazing stuff for a great prices called Gigantes. The smoothie shop recommended in this video was great though.
Awesome sharing 🤗💗🥰❤️💞💕
Thank you!!
Phenomenal editing again Lauren
Thank you! 🤠
Nací aquí y quiero regresar algún día para ver a mi familia. Quizás algún día viva allí.
Thanks 🙏
Glad you found the video useful!
The Pacaya Volcano was no joke either but it wasn't as long and parts of it were very steep but not the entire way.
Glad you loved Antigua!
It was a great time! We’d love to go back and visit Pacaya as well 🌋
Your videos are THE best🎉. You always provide pertinent yet helpful information . Any videos on Everest Base Camp yet? ❤
Thanks for the kind words! We have a few more videos in our backlog (Qatar and India) - then we will start positing everest base camp videos.
Thanks for watching! 🙂
What a great video.
Glad you enjoyed it!!

Glad you enjoyed the video!
Your travel guide videos are a source of inspiration for my travel bucket list! Your genuine enthusiasm for each place is contagious. Just curious, have you heard about the new v4 Bento Bag by NomadLane? It's making waves in the travel community.
I’m headed there next week can you share who you used for the shuttle ?
First of all, you guys are underrated. Soon you will get 100 K subscribers
Thank you so much 😀
Planning to go this September, any thoughts on the weather of Guatemala during September ? Is it fairly rainy? Is it worth it?
What month did you go? Was it cold up in the volcano?
What was the first restaurant with the hanging baskets?
@2:43 it was Union Cafe. Hope that helps!
I planning to do this hike in a couple weeks. Do you recommend hiking boots or trail runners okay? I typically wear trail runners but keep reading online that I should have ankle protection….
You could probably get away with either but it is steep with a lot of loose gravel in parts and volcanic ash in others! The high tops may also help keep all that out of your shoes 🤔but we always advise hiking in shoes your know well rather than setting out for an overnight in something you haven’t tested!
Hope you have a great time and enjoy the trip!!
around when did you guys visit guatemala? and what was the weather like?
so we went in May, which was during the rainy season, so it was overcast most of the time. It made it cooler, but it did obstruct some of the views!
Which shuttle company did you use ?
Our Hiking Tour Operator (Trek Guatemala) handled the majority of our transportation. We booked a private van using Viator to get from Guatemala city to Antigua on arrival into the country.
Hope this helps!
How nice the video was, it would be nice if you could say how much you spent in dollars, it was probably very economical, come back soon, we Guatemalans love those who like our land, they will always be welcome, and if you need help, any Chapin will be ready to help you❤
Great tip - we will consider this in our next video series! 😊
Safe for a solo traveler?
Yes! I’ve done a solo trip to Guatemala a couple years ago. Very safe environment and helpful people. Also other travelers will be happy to help you in your recommended whereabouts and places to check out or avoid
Do they speak good English in Guatemala?
Hello 👋 - most people spoke pretty good english. We also know a (tiny) bit of spanish which helps. We also use google translate as needed to get around.
Hope this helps!
HOLA
