Antigua Guatemala is UNDERRATED! | The Best FOOD, Shops, Sites & More!

Okay, so which restaurant are you 100% heading to after to watching this video?

Yup, Antigua - and Guatemala overall - is incredibly underrated. I was lucky enough to go there for Christmas 2017. I had to cancel a previous trip earlier in the spring (emergency surgery in Prague, long story), and this was sort of a way to make up for it. It was cheap, and I'd never been there before. I didn't expect much going in, and was blown away. Kind people, great food, beautiful architecture, fascinating history... It has everything. Going there in late December is pretty interesting. Aside from the decorations in the various hotels and restaurants, they also send up fireworks until 2:30 AM... and sing drunken karaoke until 3. I know this because I had to go to bed early to catch a flight (which was a rather old air bus!) to Tikal. Ended up doing Tikal on Christmas Morning with absolutely zero sleep. Now that was a bucket list experience. That's aside from hiking at Pacaya, photographing Volcan de Fuego as it erupted, visiting villages and a women's weaving co-op in Lake Atitlan, and a day in Guatemala City. I've done a fair bit of traveling (34 countries / 6 continents!), but Guatemala was one of the best.

amazing , its been awhile since yall gone back, actually i subscribed after that very distant trip to Guatemala so many many years ago. Love mi Guatebella!

Como Guatemala no hay otra Guatemala es maravillosa tierra bendita por Dios arriba Guatemala

Great video! Love La Antigua Guatemala 🇬🇹 ❤ Thank you for sharing great quality content about my beautiful country!

Wowww...excellent vidéo très bon...merci 😊

I can honestly see that you enjoyed Antigua . It’s my favorite place to visit when in Guatemala . Hope you had a very good time . I Love my country!!🇬🇹

Thank you for this entertaining video!

Did you fly from San Jose? I’m living in CR now and going to need to do a border run in 3 months. I love Guatemala. Thanks for the video.

Thanks! I'm going to Guatemala soon and you helped me with good tips! I'll definitely go to Caoba Farms restaurant, like a typical brazilian i love fresh vegetables and fruits 😊

I've been to Antigua a few times, and have never heard of that farm to table place, that looks amazing! Definitely going to try next time. Hard to go wrong with food in Antigua though haha. The first time I went there I was honestly kinda like 'meh,' I thought it was beautiful but too touristy (especially after spending the last 2.5 months in Xela). However, I spent three weeks there last year and really enjoyed it! Tourist crowds aside, it's a lovely town. I definitely spent at least half of my days working at that Starbucks just for their beautiful garden. McDonalds is also worth checking out just for their incredible garden. And highly recommend the Chocomuseo chocolate making course! So fun and educational and the chocolate bar you get to make (and put your own toppings on) is delish. A walk up to Cerro de la cruz is also a must.

There seems to be a migration movement of expats in Costa Rica relocating to Guatemala.. Looks beautiful ! Definitely adding this to the travel list

My daughter Emily and her boyfriend Dannyl live there! Dann works the door at El Barrio and she works online. Thanks for the video!!

🎉🎉. Very welcome to my country very nice video ; I'm very happy you guy's enjoy your time in Guatemala. 🎉🎉. Very welcome. ❤

Looks beautiful! Looks very similar in architecture and design to the towns of the nearby Yucatan state of Mexico.

As a local, your video shows some of the best places in town. So glad you enjoyed our home, thank you, girls! Just as a side note: You have a typo mistake in "Convento Santa Claro" wich actually is with a final A: Santa ClarA.

Going all over Guatemala next month. We are visiting my daughter’s exchange students (our bonus kids) and their family. They are taking us to Tikal, Atitlan, Antigua, and Monterrico beach…and their home in Guatemala City of course!
