Just visited San Juan and cannot recommend it enough, especially if you love art and authentic, local experiences. 💕

Honestly Guatemala was never on my travel list and now you are changing our minds! So beautiful!

I love how they use natural dye… what a treasure you found

Wow! What an awesome colourful town! And the women’s textile cooperative was just beautiful! I would love to go there. Thankyou for filming your day and sharing. ❤️

Christmas 🎄 all year long. Those are my kind of people.

GOOD ONE ! Now l want to go to Guatemala ! l LOVE the Mayan people, all of their crafts and all the vibrant colors . THANk YOU !!!

Guatemala keeps looking like a better and better destination! Those intro clips got me hooked.

Lake Atitlan was considered the most beautiful lake in the world 🌎 by Nat Geo, and since that moment we adopted that saying. Thanks for sharing 😊 and show the world the wonderful of Atitlan.

Its the people who make the difference, the citizens are so friendly and kind. Thank you for the video and so glad you two are having a great time. Guatemala is often overlooked but has so much to offer.

Grateful for your travel philosophy. Love how respectful and appreciative you are of the beautiful human and natural diversity you share.

Lake Atitlán is gorgeous! I didn't know all those fun facts and the volcanoes in the distance. 😮

Rick Steves said you can see any places in the world virtually, but when you travel and see the world and its people face to face the feeling is just extraordinary.

Guatemala is amazing 🇬🇹💙🇬🇹

Another wonderful video. Thank you! What a magnificent day, perfect weather, all these colors, Heidi got a new scarf and Adam 4 new wives. 😂 Those ladies were so cute and funny. Guatemala is healing 🙏 beautifully said, Adam. I really wished this video was longer. ❤

First off, love you both. Your energy and excitement are contagious. Also, how human for that man to offer you a place to stay when you are in New Orleans. A complete stranger not too long ago and now someone who welcomes you with open arms. Beautiful!

@The Country Collectors, I really love the way you are!❤️. You're so nice and beautiful people that you make us feel that we're part of your family 🤭🥲 you speak to us so friendly and kind as we know which other for so long that we love you right from the bottom of our hearts 💕🥰 and I think that I'm talking for many people that are following you since long time ago,we appreciate you and love you guys! I really can't wait for watching you every Sunday! You really make my week better ! Again guys greetings from Zumpango Estado de México and I hope you can come back sometime her to my México lindo y querido 🇲🇽❤️🇺🇸👍👏🤗☺️😉

Yet ANOTHER awesome destination in Guatemala. The Lake and its villages and towns are amazing. The views, the terrain, the people, the colours, the buzzing atmosphere.... and the food, of course! Maria, from the Q'oomaneel Association, is so lovely, warm, passionate and vibrant! She is an absolute joy to watch. The Weavers Association was just spellbinding with its eye poppingly beautiful dyed yarns and stunning items of clothing that were being crafted and sold. All about supporting women today and into the future, continuing to nuture ancient traditions and crafts and share them with the world. No fast fashion with the clothing from these collectives. I purchased a silk jacket almost 30 years ago from a tiny dressmaker in Thailand and it is still in pristine condition, no stitching has come undone, the original buttons still firmly in place, the colours still impeccable and no loss of shape. There are many social and fiscal benefits to slow fashion. San Juan is amazing. Thank you for taking up along with you, Heidi and Adam. Guatemala has never really featured on our possible travel itineraries, but with the end of the civil war and travellers like yourselves now dipping their toes into this amazing country and sharing their travels and experiences, it is high on our radar. For now, we will settle back, bide our time and enjoy your journey with you.....but we cannot wait to visit Guatemala for ourselves. Safe travels! ...and loving your Quetzal earrings Heidi!

My husband and I both agree that you two are some of the best vloggers we've come across ever. Keep being your authentic selves and doing what you do. I spent a few months solo traveling throughout Guatemala in 2001 and appreciate seeing how it's changed since I've been there. Such an amazing country. I remember how everyone on the plane on the way there was so proud of their country that they were all giving me tips on places to go and inviting me to stay with their families. I barely knew Spanish at the time and the warmth and kindness of random people on the plane alone was so comforting as I embarked on my solo "what the hell am I doing?" adventure. Anyhow, in case you were wondering if your experiences have had an impact on people, yes! I even took a picture of the Scooby Doo bug you mentioned when visiting Querétaro late last year because you're the reason we chose to include that city in our travel plans. That said, Guanajuato won our hearts. We're on our way to all points near Huatulco to Zipolite next month after watching your videos. Thanks for doing such an excellent job sharing your experiences, while really embracing the entire travel culture and love for the places and people you meet. Your authenticity and love for life really shine through.

Para nosotros los Guatemaltecos los pueblitos al rededor del lago son mágicos viva Guate

Hello guys I’m from Guatemala now living in Los Angeles CA and I’m so happy you guys are enjoying our culture, thanks for how respectful and humble you guys are. Please keep enjoying our country 👍 God bless you!!

Another beautiful video! I love how you pay tribute to the Guatemalan ladies who suffered so much during the dictatorship. Lots of love, Nanae and Kenneth, Vancouver.

You guys, I loved this place!! I thought we'd just be good with 1 trip to Mexico this year but man you've got me dreaming about Guatemala now. What a beautiful lake and amazing people. I love the vibrant colors so much. Makes me feel happy. Thank you for taking me on your trip.

I'm from escuintla guatemala in the south but grew up in canada. Nice to see a refreshing take on lake atitlan. I've enjoyed every single video of your guatemala journey. Thanks again.. greetings from canada

💚 GUATEMALA ES MAJESTUOSA...! 🇬🇹

Hey, guys! What an awesome place! The lake. The mountains. The streets. The culture. The food. The people. All amazing! As a BC boy who loves lakes and mountains, but who no longer qualifies for residency in Mexico, you make me want to move here. I'll be checking it out for sure. Great video. Thanks.

After shovelling snow, it is so refreshing to sit back and enjoy the adventure. Your encouragement of respecting the culture and people is so wonderful. Thanks for taking us along. Cheers from Canada.

San Juan looks like the place I would want to stay for sure. I love all of the color, art, and nature there. Peaceful. ✌

You're two beautiful souls God bless you do you know that I'm learning english with you because you spick so clear make me feel that I understand every word you speak 🙊 thank you

I like this channel because the you guys are very calm and relaxing. Not like some of those other travel channels where there’s some guy screaming in your face.

I LIKE WHEN HE SAYS TO RING THE BELL..THEN DOES THE FINGER MOTION!!!!!

Honestly I would love to spend a month there❤️ btw keep it up guys!

Experiencing these countries and places with you is life changing.

Never thought Guatemala 🇬🇹🇬🇹 is this beautiful hope all the best for the country.

What a cool place, great video! My new drinking game is whenever Adam holds something next to his head to check the size, you take a shot 🤣! One of Adam's best trademarks, please don't stop! 🤣😁. It's kind of like looking for Easter eggs 😁. Love you guys! ☮️❤️😎

This was amazing....brought tears to my eyes on a few different places you visted! Blessed life you both are living. Gracias amores xx

Did I just see Heidi wearing Quetzal earrings. That looks stunning. You're the happiest couple I've seen on RU-vid

I love how you always connect with the locals and promote their business that is really nice and conscious of you.

What a stunning travel guide to Lake Atitlán, Guatemala! This video captured it perfectly. The clear blue waters of the lake and the towering mountains in the background are truly awe-inspiring. The footage was especially impressive, giving us a bird's-eye view of the entire area.I can't wait to plan my own trip to Lake Atitlán and experience this magical place for myself. Thank you for sharing this incredible travel guide with us!

Thank you by promoting Guatemala, with your amazing videos, the new name of the nariz del indio is rostro maya. My name is Alberto and enjoy Guatemala (tierra de árboles), that's meant Guatemala

Amazing place! I love how you appreciate the locals and spend time learning about their culture- that clothes coop was incredible. Stay safe ❤🙏🥰

Another awesome video you two! Can't wait to experience it myself. Look at Adam being the lady's man 😆 loved it.

Good Sunday morning! Such a wonderful day to wake up and see your smiles. Thank you so kindly for sharing this excellent exciting experience with us. So beautiful there. So looking forward to seeing your next video. Take care and keep enjoying.

I truly love how you showcase the local people and their businesses. I would love to buy some things from that cooperative!

The road of hats is truly gorgeous.. the art is 🤯

Hola! 🌞 It was so nice to see Lake Atitlan through your eyes! 🏞 The views are stunning and the villages around the lake look so charming! 😍 I loved how you chose to stay in Panajachel as your base and explore the other villages by boat. It's such a smart way to travel! 🛥 And the fact that you can find everything you need in the lively Calle Santander is so convenient! 🙌 Thank you for sharing your experience with us, and I can't wait to see what adventures you have in store for us next! 🤩

Good morning country collectors 😊

I love to visit Guatemala.. Love from Northeast India🇮🇳

Omg, I would love to go visit! Already heading to Mexico DF, end of October, but will keep this in mind for 2024

Another beautiful place, the weather looks so fine, the wonderful people around, the views of nature. Refreshing place to see 😊

Just another wow wow!! Nice to see u back together in the video, this place is amazing and thank you💕🙏

Omg the mural is breathtaking

stunning!! Adam! You always make me smile. What a great video of life, learning and cultural beauty!! Thank you so much... ps your jump from one scene to another was genius!

Hi guy’s, I looked at your video library and did not see one on Copper Canyon. I did this train trip in 2007. Talk about magical!!! I went with a suitcase and no plans. Best trip ever. I’d love to see you do a video on this. One note, I went on a all day tour with a Mexican family mom , dad, kids, cousins and grandpa. I was the only gringa. Had the best time ever. Back in the day this cost $20. Lovin your videos!

What a beautiful place, will have to add this to our list of places to visit!!

Hey guys, great video man, amazing. Your humping a lot of gear in that heat reminds me of my days in the Canadian Army during training. Stay hydrated

LOVE you guys so much! Interesting note: I traveled that EXACT itinerary over 25 years ago. Thanks to you, I get to see what has changed and what has not. Antigua looks much the same. Panajachel and San Juan are dramatically more developed - especially San Juan! We saw textiles there as well, but it was just a guy in a straw covered shack who invited us in to see his work. SO HAPPY to see these women creating business from their AMAZING work. They are a beautiful people. The FEELING there is special.

The weaver is Delfina or as I know her “Pinita”. My family connection. I miss them immensely. Love love Guatemala (San Pedro la Laguna). I love following you as seeing my friends.

Hey guys, I was anxiously awaiting this video from my favorite travelers. Great video as usual 👌 thanks

Maravilloso 🤩

You guys seem so energized and happy! Guatemala is very colorful and super friendly--can't wait to visit someday soon. I'll use this video as a guide.

Empandas on the shore with the sunset. Picture perfect!

What a wonderful lake, I enjoyed watching this on a Sunday evening here in India, I hope you are keeping well ❤️

Oh, muchas gracias, Maria.

Food looks amazing… and a perfect spot for dinner … and the cost is amazing

I am Jorge Alberto Quinto Garcia and part of the Maya Empire, thank you for bringing Mrs. Heather, she is at home here 😊

Another impressive place you have shown us here in Guatemala. I will be searching for a plane ticket very soon. Thank you!

so happy to see you in my beautiful Guatemala! I recommend Puerto San Jose, Escuintla!

What a beautiful drive

Wow what a beautiful place and amazing colors

Gracias por visitar Guatemala

Awesome Adventureland 👌 Also Luv Capetown South Africa ❤️

Welcome !🇬🇹👍♥️

Just awesome as usual... WoW 👌🥂

That shot going through the heart over the lake - just wow! How did you capture that?

Panajachel and Atitlán are so beautiful. For Mexican travelers it was no so cheap when I was there in 2016 because Quetzal is paired to Dollar, maybe now is less expensive. Thanks.

Ohhh Adams Santa hohoho was a perfect Santa 😊
