Guatemala's Lake Atitlán & Antigua | Slow Travelling Lakes, Volcanoes & Colonial Streets (4K)

This video is a candid, cinematic look at our experience spending two months in Guatemala across Lake Atitlan and Antigua. This is one of the most under-rated destinations we've been lucky enough to visit. The first half of our journey was spent exploring the stunning Lake Atitlán. Spending our days discovering the unique character of the different towns dotted around its shores, traveling between them by boat. For the second month, we moved to a small village called San Cristobal el Alto, high above the city of Antigua. We stayed on a working avocado farm that had the most epic views looking out over the city and the very active Fuego Volcano. Waking up to that view every day was something special. This isn't a typical travel guide with a checklist of things to do. It’s a more personal look at what it was like to slow down and really live in these places. I hope it gives you a feel for the real Guatemala and inspires your own adventure. Featuring: Lake Atitlán: Surrounded by volcanoes and dotted with unique villages, Lake Atitlán is renowned for its stunning blue-green waters and idyllic ferry rides. Towns like San Marcos, Tzununa, San Pedro, San Juan, Santiago, Panajachel, and Santa Cruz each offer their own distinctive vibe and local experiences. Antigua: Known as a UNESCO World Heritage site, Antigua boasts cobblestone streets, vibrant markets, and colonial architecture that reflects Guatemala's rich history. See why Lake Atitlán and Antigua are among the best destinations to visit in the Americas. The algorythm doesn't seem to like this video much, so if you enjoy, don't be shy and let me know :) Thanks for watching.

My original intention on YouTube was to share updates on our life as we travelled the world, but as time has gone by, I've found myself far more interested in sharing videos about the destinations I visit instead of about our lives. I have a background in tourism and destination marketing, including roles with Gold Coast Tourism and Tourism Australia in the UK and US, and I've since created content for Tourism Australia, Tourism & Events Queensland, and various luxury properties. Nat's a teacher with experience across four education systems in three countries, and runs her own online tutoring business alongside our travels. My videos are travel documentaries showing destinations and experiences away from mass market tourism, often visiting in the off season and lesser known parts of the world. 🔶 Subscribe: bit.ly/RickyDunnFilms 🔵 Instagram: instagram.com/LifeDunnDifferently 🔵 Facebook: facebook.com/LifeDunnDifferently 📧 Email: contact@lifedunndifferently.com -- Watch More Videos: ★ Discovering Tobago (4K) 👉    • Tobago | A Month in a Caribbean Fishing Vi...   ★ Aruba Travel Guide 👉    • Aruba | World-Class Beaches & A Month Beyo...   ★ Exploring Yucatan, Mexico 👉    • Mexico's Yucatán | Merida to the Coast - M...   ★ Discovering the Kingdom of Eswatini 👉    • Eswatini | Exploring Africa's Least Visite...   ★ Exploring Tasmania (4K) 👉    • Tasmania Travel Guide | A Cinematic Journe...   --- #Guatemala, #LakeAtitlán, #Antigua, #TravelGuide, #TravelVlog, #GuatemalaTravelGuide, #CentralAmerica, #VisitGuatemala, #ExploreGuatemala, #GuatemalaVlog, #DigitalNomad, #SanMarcos, #Tzununa, #SanPedro, #SanJuan, #Santiago, #Panajachel, #SantaCruz,
