Thanks a lot for your honesty and clarity of your comments. Those things are important to me because I am a retiree and want to live in a place that is affordable, friendly, with good Hispanic food and easy travel to the USA. Keep on with your videos!!!!!

Guatemala was my favorite country when I backpacked in Central America for 4 months. Xela was also one of my favorite towns.

We are glad you chose and live in Guatemala. You are always welcome here. As you may have noticed Guatemala is not dangerous, I heard there are groups of people from out of the country organizations that want to place Guatemala in a bad due its recent popularity and keep trying; but, anyway we welcome you and anyone who wants to experience Mayan life in Guatemala. Welcome and God bless.

I would go to all the target areas that interest you but here in Xela is good and the locals are used to dealing with gringos, but I would seriously check out the Coban area Peten might be a little more dangerous.

Is so beautiful and rich the United Kingdom of Guatemala established since 1609 and that 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 foreign multinational corporations have been taking almost everything. The Malvinas belong to Argentina, The Esequibo belongs to Venezuela and Belice belongs to Guatemala. God bless

Guatemala is expensive and there are killings and robbers in certain Zone areas of Guatemala... don't travel at night especially through the Campos It's not safe. There is more but whoever is from Guatemala wants to hear good things but never bad...Too much traffic everywhere and motorcycles driving between cars ridiculous! Good Luck...
