00:00Buenos dias from Antigua, Guatemala.

00:02We're here for four nights and three full days in this beautiful city.

00:05So today we're going to hit some good coffee shops, eat some delicious food, see all of the sights,

00:10and then tomorrow we are heading up the Asetenango hike to Si Fuego y Ra.

00:14So it should be pretty awesome. Let's go.

00:30No answer.

00:39We had a special guest join us on this trip, my baby brother.

00:42You might remember him from the Peru series as Mr. Pretty Good.

00:46Pretty good.

00:47We all arrived really late the night before at the Maison Ponce Verde in La Antigua, Guatemala.

00:52Antigua is about an hour taxi outside of La Aurora Airport in Guatemala City.

00:57It's a smooth drive until you get to the cobblestone streets of La Antigua.

01:01Our first hotel was Maison Ponce Verde, an absolutely stunning property with super unique rooms and delicious food.

01:11We are so excited to go out and explore Antigua, but it's honestly just hard to leave this hotel.

01:16It is so beautiful. The details everywhere from the tile work, the furniture,

01:21even the bathroom is just beautiful and the vibes here are immaculate.

01:27We are in the Central Park area of Antigua. It is beautiful.

01:31There's just a lot of trees, cool fountains, and we're just kind of taking in the scenery.

01:36And now we're going to go get caffeined up.

01:38I want everything.

01:47First stop, we're at Cafe Boheme to get a little bit of caffeine.

01:51And Lauren got like some weird lemonade thing.

01:54Hibiscus lemonade she is.

01:57Wow.

01:59With Garrett adequately caffeinated, we were off to explore some of the museums and cultural centers.

02:06There's a lot of these types of attractions in Antigua that you can visit for free.

02:09We'll link a couple of our favorites down in the description below.

02:12Alright, we are drinking a lot of coffee today because Guatemala is one of the leading producers of coffee beans.

02:18Antigua is full of adorable coffee shops serving local coffee.

02:22Guatemalan coffee is known for being mildly acidic with fruity nodes and it was delicious.

02:28When you drink too much, it makes you a little jittery.

02:31Drink too much coffee and I'm jittering.

02:35Too much.

02:36Too much.

02:37I like Guatemala coffee.

02:39Highly approved.

02:41Motorbikes are the way to get around Antigua.

02:43They are everywhere so watch where you're crossing the street.

02:46Time for lunch.

02:48We're walking to lunch and we left the hustle and bustle of Antigua.

02:51Now we're on this pretty nice off-the-beaten path.

02:55It's by a bunch of gated neighborhoods so it must be the wealthy part of Antigua.

02:59But it's nice.

03:00It's quiet out here.

03:01I just take a little nap here.

03:04I'm nice and sweaty.

03:06A little balmy.

03:08Oh.

03:09Yeah, they do.

03:11I'm back.

03:12That afternoon we took it easy before the big hike.

03:15We ate some delicious foods at Keowa Farms.

03:17This place specializes in farm-to-table dishes that are absolutely delicious.

03:22They have a storefront and also have volunteer opportunities if you are interested in learning

03:27more about sustainable agriculture.

03:29This place was pretty amazing and we highly recommend you check it out.

03:34Okay, so after lunch we did some hiking preparations.

03:37We went and bought a lot of water.

03:39The lady at the hotel basically told us that we might die so kind of just took that seriously.

03:44Up next we're going to go find some chocolate.

03:46Another thing that Guatemala is known for.

03:48Really excited to do that and then hopefully...

03:50Ooh, branch.

03:51Nah.

03:52Get some extra chocolate to take in our packs tomorrow.

03:54I'm excited.

03:55I got a coconut chocolate.

03:56Garrett got a pistachio chocolate.

04:00Chocolate cheese.

04:01Don't match.

04:02Mmm.

04:03Muy bien.

04:04Here's chocolate stop number two.

04:05That was sick.

04:06That was sick.

04:07I got a coconut chocolate.

04:08I got a coconut chocolate.

04:09Garrett got a pistachio chocolate.

04:10Chocolate cheese.

04:11I got a coconut chocolate.

04:12I got a coconut chocolate.

04:13I got a coconut chocolate.

04:14Garrett got a pistachio chocolate.

04:16Chocolate cheese.

04:17That match.

04:18Mmm.

04:19Muy bien.

04:20Here's chocolate stop number two.

04:27That was sick.

04:28Tonight we're having dinner at Nana.

04:29We're going to enjoy some good food, have some good conversations, get a full stomach,

04:33and then we're going to go back to the hotel and rest up for the big hike.

04:38It's good, isn't it?

04:39It's like not too sweet.

04:40It's almost like a little bitter with the cacao.

04:43After dinner, we hit the hay to rest up.

04:45Here is a sneak peek of our Acotenango hike in Guatemala.

04:48Our van is here.

04:49It's almost like a little bitter with the cacao.

04:51After dinner, we hit the hay to rest up.

05:03Here is a sneak peek of our Acotenango hike in Guatemala.

05:06Our van is here.

05:08Home sweet home.

05:14Going down on the volcanic ash is actually kind of fun.

05:19You just kind of like ski down.

05:21That's how I feel like this.

05:22For real, can we go eat dinner like that?

05:29Probably their lunch time.

05:31Yeah.
