Guatemala City Gamble: 1 Month in a Misunderstood Metropolis (Spoiler: It's Worth It!) 🇬🇹

Guatemala City: love it or leave it, right? We finally decided to gamble on this misunderstood metropolis and spend a month there. Join us as we review our unexpected adventure experiencing the hidden gems of Guatemala City!

While our plans got shaken up by unexpected political protests, it turned out Guatemala City became a safe haven during the chaos. This experience offered a unique look at the city's resilience and the friendly spirit of its people. Sure, it wasn't exactly what we expected, but we ended up having a perfectly good (and surprisingly affordable) month!

Is Guatemala City worth visiting? We think so! This video will show you why this Central American city might surprise you too. So ditch the guidebooks and get ready for an authentic Guatemalan adventure!
