YOU GUYS ARE AMAZING!!! Thank you for sharing your wonderful trip. Guatemala is my native country and you visited great places but maybe in your second visit you could go by " El Castillo de San Felipe", Livington and other side of Atlantic Ocean. And I still remember climbing all that 40 years ago and the pain, the pain.

We took the chicken bus when traveling in Guatemala. It’s quite an experience, can be quite stressful, but it’s dirt cheap and sometimes faster. From Guatemala City to Monterrico (black sand beach), some girl at our hostel took the shuttle at 6 am, with a transfer in Antigua, for 15$us. We took a much later « direct » chicken bus, which turns out not to be direct, they overcharge us, but we still manage to arrive there around the same time then her, and pay like 3-4$. That was an adventure!

@SomethingToRemember 11 ай бұрын

Yeah we know about Chicken buses and took some in El Salvador.. Usually it’s way longer, it wasn’t as convenient on our route, in fact, there are none that go to Semuc Champey and we all had baggage😓Honestly, the only chicken buses we saw were in Antigua😂

@denniscumiskey5179 6 күн бұрын

First off, I love the mapping, it really helps to get the layout of the country. My only question is, did you feel safe there? I've heard stories of crime and the State Department recommends against it. What are your thoughts? Thanks!

@SomethingToRemember 6 күн бұрын

Hi, thank you, glad you find it useful! 😊 To be honest, even after traveling through Brazil and Colombia, we were a bit apprehensive before going to Guatemala and neighboring El Salvador and Honduras, as people do say a lot of bad things about these countries online. It’s much more difficult to get around as there is no advanced public bus system, and there are a lot of bad stories about gangs attacking chicken buses. BUT honestly, it was absolutely fine once we got there. We still recommend using the transfers even though they are pricier; it’s a fast and safe way of getting around. Try chicken buses somewhere in Central America, it’s fun and authentic, but you do need a lot of patience for it 😅

Difficult to say! It is very steep for quite a large portion of the hike (pretty much the first 4 or 5 hours) which caused problems on the way back down as well because it was hard to keep yourself from slipping & it was sore on the knees..

Thanks for sharing. Is so beautiful and rich the Kingdom of Guatemala established since 1609 and rhat 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 multinational multi-billionaire anglosaxon criminal 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!!. Long live the memory of the great Scottish patriot William Wallace Braveheart. From 1925 to 1984 the Guatemalan currency the Quetzal was paired with the French Franc, the US Dollar and above the Swiss Franc. Sorry for the long message. God bless you all
