    If you are in Guatemala, you can't miss out on Lake Atitlan! One of the most beautiful places I have ever been to! A must-do when in Guatemala: kzread.info/dash/bejne/qKVl2raQZ7qspto.html 💯

    Other zones that you should visit are zones 14, 15, and 16 like ciudad Cayala. Check the the giant map of Guatemala is the only one of its kind in the world. Great video!

    I am glad that you are visiting Guatemala city and reminding people that danger is present in all major cities and people should never surrender their common sense. Guatemala city is greatly under rated and Thank you for doing something about changing that perspective.

    I’m glad you didn’t skip Guate city like a lot of tourists do. You took the words out of my mouth, Guate is just like any other country. There are places you don’t go , and keep your guard up . I went to Guate in march , and spent time in the city, had no problems .

    Nice, concise and fun description. Guatemala city is (like you mentioned about Zone 4 and) growing its cosmopolitan vibes and as a Central American top city (between Mexico City and Cartagena Colombia) and will be a top Latin American destination in the next few years, Ciudad Cayala and Zones 14, 15, 16 and suburbs such as Mixco, Fraijanes, San Lucas, Xenacoj, San Cristobal, Pinula and Carretera a El Salvador areas are really looking like some places in Miami or San Diego (I live in the Lagunas in Orange County 🇺🇸) Loved your videos. 😊

En cuanto a zona 12 y zona 11 por la Aguilar Batres se está desarrollando aún.

    Guatemala City is underrated. I was really quite surprised. It's much better than I had anticipated, specially the safer areas of town. Just know where to go and what parts to avoid, just like you would in any major big city, use normal common - sense safety. She is right. Lots to see and do, there's much more than meets the eye. Worth visiting.

    What do apartments go for in Guatemala City for a studio or 1 bedroom furnished. Nothing fancy just basic?

  • @AlikiTravelBlog

    @AlikiTravelBlog

    10 ай бұрын

    Well this very depends on the area you staying at. The Zone 10 that I think is one of the best ones for expats and also not the most expensive one - I would say a nice apartment, less than $1000, but probably something basic could be as low as $500-600 per month...but thats from my experience..I haven't looked much at property/long term rental prices.
