3 Days in an Indigenous Guatemalan Village

Guatemala is home to beautiful mountains, volcanos, lakes, and friendly people. Many of these people are Mayan and live far up in the mountains way beyond where most tourists ever venture. In these villages of indigenous people are some of the kindest people who welcomed us in to tell their stories over the course of three days. We were in Guatemala working with a nonprofit @sownforgood to tell the story of another nonprofit's work. In these villages Spanish isn't the common language, but rather a variety of indigenous languages making communication beyond their community difficult. Quetzal Project (the nonprofit whose work we were filming) teaches children Spanish to enable them to continue in the public education system thus having the freedom and ability to further themselves in whatever ways they desire. Along the way we meet the friendly faces of children and women who are empowering themselves and future generations through education and artistry. 🔎 Shop Our Favorites 🔎 📷 Photo & Video Gear 📷 ⊹ Vlogging camera: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1577838-REG/sony_ilce7sm3_b_alpha_a7s_iii_mirrorless.html/BI/21846/KBID/28214/DFF/d10-v21-t1-x1481189/SID/DFF ⊹ Wide lens: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1784822-REG/sony_fe_16_35mm_f_2_8_gm.html/BI/21846/KBID/28214/DFF/d10-v21-t1-x1280353/SID/DFF ⊹ Daily zoom lens: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1702384-REG/sony_fe_24_70mm_f_2_8_gm.html/BI/21846/KBID/28214/DFF/d10-v21-t1-x1173401/SID/DFF ⊹ Telephoto lens: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1666363-REG/sony_fe_70_200mm_f_2_8_gm.html/BI/21846/KBID/28214/DFF/d10-v21-t1-x1140502/SID/DFF ⊹ Vlogging microphone: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1711447-REG/sony_ecm_b10_camera_mount_digital_shotgun.html/BI/21846/KBID/28214/DFF/d10-v21-t1-x1181147/SID/DFF ⊹ Tripod: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1495135-REG/peak_design_tt_cb_5_150_al_1_aluminum_travel_tripod.html/BI/21846/KBID/28214/DFF/d10-v21-t1-x977480/SID/DFF ⊹ Drone: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1870055-REG/dji_cp_ma_00000813_01_mini_4_pro_camera.html/BI/21846/KBID/28214/DFF/d10-v21-t1-x1688380/SID/DFF 🚐 Overlanding Gear 🚐 ⊹ GPS system: https://app.rockporch.com/prdlink/4Y7WnY7wMO ⊹ SOS device: https://rei.rockporch.com/prdlink/6vA5CybBsp ⊹ Coffee maker: https://backcountry.rockporch.com/prdlink/MoAv3eXVCB ⊹ Pots and pans: https://rei.rockporch.com/prdlink/kToUdlsNeE ⊹ Headlamp: https://rei.rockporch.com/prdlink/MNOJ54IUYi ⊹ Camp chairs: https://rei.rockporch.com/prdlink/c8VxlLwgVd ⊹ Travel duffles: https://rei.rockporch.com/prdlink/Zs4f6Licg5 ⊹ Packing cubes: https://rei.rockporch.com/prdlink/7Z6UztzZCm ⊹ Down blanket: https://app.rockporch.com/prdlink/NSdtQ7s27N 🐶 Kramer’s Go-To Gear 🐶 ⊹ Backpack: https://app.rockporch.com/prdlink/RCTnyatdnA ⊹ Bike trailer: https://rei.rockporch.com/prdlink/IHPEcnWezb ⊹ Cooling vest: https://backcountry.rockporch.com/prdlink/dHAaKTsxZ4 ⊹ Rain jacket: https://backcountry.rockporch.com/prdlink/BJtRsg4lms ⊹ Harness: https://backcountry.rockporch.com/prdlink/rNvXBWXQYw ⊹ Leash: https://backcountry.rockporch.com/prdlink/gEEUSEHHmc ✈️ Flight Deals ✈️ We find the best flight deals using @Going (formerly Scott’s Cheap Flights).
