GUATEMALA – After an ultimate Guatemalan street food tour in Guatemala City, we woke up at 4 am the next day to beat the traffic heading towards the Caribbean Coast of Guatemala!

Breakfast – Along the way we stopped to eat some delicious Guatemalan breakfast, including a classic plate with egg and tomato, fresh tortillas and beans. They also made delicious empanadas, stuffed with cheese, beans, and chicharon.

Livingston – We arrived to Livingston, the Caribbean Coast and home to the Garifuna people. First we started with a boat trip up the river to get to Livingston. We stopped at Cayo Quemado to make raw fish with coconut milk. Then we ate at a restaurant called Buga Mama, where they support the community through their restaurants. Chef Sanchez made a few local Mayan and Garifuna dishes.

Las Tres Garifunas, Livingston, Guatemala (https://goo.gl/maps/jDktnt1gpkA4g5ao7) – This meal and experience was the highlight for me, where we met up with Diana and cooked an authentic Garifuna meal.

Cacao Farm – The next day we headed to Rio Dulce, still near the coast, and met up with Mr. Eugenio, from Hacienda Tijax. We had a lovely churrasquito Guatemalan bbq, and then went hiking in the forest to harvest fresh cacao. We then had the treat to make traditional Mayan hot chocolate, something truly spectacular.

  1. You should try Honduras it’s right beside Guatemala and the food is amazing and a very beautiful turístico country as well if you have the chance la ceiba, roatan, and utila are a must go. I always Enjoy watching your videos keep it up blessings!!

  2. I love that he highlights Black culture all over the world. I have been to Belize three times. I went there for the first time in 2017 and twice in 2018, specifically to go to the Garifuna village Hopkins – which was more gentrified with each visit. Black people throughout Central and South America – and in Mexico (where they were not even acknowledged in the country's census until 2020)- area extremely marginalized and impoverished. Typically, non-whites want to experience the culture – food, music, and style – just as in the U.S. and Europe, but otherwise Black people are an afterthought, unless their land is being taken from them. Most Black people live on the East coasts of theses countries or on Islands – such as on San Adreas of Columbia in and Roatan in Honduras abject poverty, poor infrastructure, and poltical power. But like most Blacks everywhere in the world, the hold on to their culture, which they share use to make a living through food and tourism.

  3. Proud to be chapina! I’m so happy you are trying our dishes 🩵🤍🩵 I’ve been waiting for so long and searching for well known food bloggers to try our food!

  4. The translator/guide is not good at all. He may have well just been sitting there as a customer eating. Mark had to do his own translating also.

  5. My mom makes the Tapado but from her Island of Bonnaca Honduras they call it coconut dinner! They make it with fish or salt beef also with conch sea wilks. They also add either flour dumplings my favorite or cornmeal dumplings! They also add bread kind or squash, plantains green or ripe or both! It's amazing. People would pay my mom to make it for them here in TX! Would love to See Mark goto Bonnaca Guanajha Honduras!

  6. Beautiful. My family is from Livingston and Puerto Barrios, and the amount of colors in each meal is amazing. No additives or harmful chemicals. Just fresh veggies and light seasoning for the most part. Thank you for adding to the positive exposure of the Garifuna culture. 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

  7. My daughter went to Guatemala and I didn't understand it. Never thought tourists went there. She returned home the same day you arrived Mark. I learned alot from this video. Next year I will visit. We're carribbeans and I never knew that there are Garafunos in Guatemala. I want to visit Livingston.

  8. I don't think the cabenero chilli sauce was meant to be added to the seafood coconut soup. You just changed the taste of the soup … people often add chilli to spice up the taste or sometimes to mask the terrible taste of food.
