Guatemala

Zaparolli...

Guatemala is the largest country in Central America, with a population (estimated at over 17 million as of 2019) close to double that of Honduras, the next largest country in the region.  Guatemala shares a long border with Mexico and has coasts along both the Pacific Ocean and Caribbean Sea.  Guatemala was the center of the ancient Mayan civilization which also covered much of the nearby Yucatan Peninsula.  Contributor Zaparoli used his drone to create this stunning aerial tour of this fascinating country. 

Antigua: In the Guatemalan Highlands

Antigua Guatemala

AshevilleA...

Contributor and pilot AshvilleAerial used a DJI Mavic Pro drone to create this beautiful aerial tour of Antigua, a beautiful colonial city in the Highlands of Guatemala.  The city was founded in the mid-16th century by the Spanish Conquistadoras, and was actually the third capital city of what became known as the Kingdom of Guatemala.  Devastated by several earthquakes later in the 16th century, Antigua survived and became one of the most important centers of Spanish and Jesuit culture in Central America.

Antigua's Iglesia Merced

Amongst the most well-preserved relics of the Spanish Colonial Era in Central America is the city of Antigua in the central Guatemalan highlands.  Antigua served as the capital of the Kingdom of Guatemala, a division of the Spanish Empire that covered all of the present day countries of Central America save Panama, plus parts of what is now Southern Mexico.  This drone video captures one of the cultural treasures of this well-preserved town: the Iglesia Merced, a church which was completed in 1767.

AirVuz contributor and drone pilot Matt Dahlberg brings us this fantastic drone video of a famous volcano in Guatemala.  Pacaya is part of the Central American Volcanic Belt.  Its caldera was formed in an eruption which occurred about 23,000 years ago, a blink of an eye in geological terms.  The volcano has been erupting more or less continuously since 1961, following about seven decades of dormancy.  It rises to a height of just under 8.4k ft., or about 2.6k m.  Pacaya is less than an hour's drive southwest of Guatemala City.

semberadve...

Top AirVuz contributor semberadventure brings us this new gem from the Central American country of Guatemala.  He brought a drone along to capture a hike on Volcán Tajumulco, in the southwestern department of San Marcos.  Tajamulco is part of the Sierra Madre de Chiapas, a range which crosses parts of three Central American countries plus a bit of southern Mexico.  The stratovolcano has a summit elevation of about 13.8k ft. above sea level, or around 4.2k m.  Considered inactive, it's one of the Western Hemisphere's most prominent peaks.

Semuc Champey - Guatemala

nachobover...

Contributor and drone pilot nachobovery created this beautiful aerial video of a natural monument in Guatemala called Semuc Champey.  It's a bridge made of limestone over the Cahabón River, a waterway which runs through the eastern part of this Central American country.  It is situated in the department of Alta Verapaz Department, which covers the central part of Guatemala.  While it's not easily accessible, as you'll see from the video, it's a stunningly beautiful place in the heart of Central America.

Zaparolli...

Contributor and drone pilot Zaporolli skillfully blended aerial and ground footage from across Guatemala to create this beautiful documentary for the International Cooperation of Spain.  The video shows the beauty of this Central American land and its native people. While the Spanish conquest had a huge (and generally negative) impact on Mayan lands, the indigenous culture held up better here than it did in the Aztec lands to the north or Inca lands to the south, where very little survived the onslaught.

Guatemala is the largest of the seven countries of Central America and in many respects the most fascinating.  It lies in the heart of the lands of the old Mayan Empire of Pre-Columbian times, and it features a mix of natural scenery that includes coastlines on two oceans, fearsome volcanoes, stunning lakes, and lush rainforests.  Take a ride through this spectacular country in this drone video, which includes footage of Lake Atitlán (Central America's deepest lake) and the ancient ruins of Tikal.

Migrant Caravan and Immigration from Above

Carlos Dua...

Contributor and pilot Carlos Duarte used a drone to create this powerful video of a Central American "migrant caravan".  These caravans are part of a vast movement of people north from Central America into Mexico and thence to the United States.  In this particular video, you'll see these unfortunates making their way out of (or through) Honduras into Guatemala, which has a long border with Mexico.  Exposed to all manner of deprivations, these migrants hope to make their way to the United States.

la.drones...

Former Drone Video of the Week Winner la.drones brings us this stunning drone video from the volcanoes of Guatemala in Central America.  The video was filmed from the perspective of Acatenango, an inactive stratovolcano just west of the city of Antigua.  The video features amazing footage of the adjacent Volcán de Fuego, which is a highly active volcano - it erupts at a low level every 15-20 minutes, and explosively as recently as late 2018.  The volcanoes are part of the great volcanic belt which runs down the length of Central America.

Contributor Dacar brings us this beautiful drone video of one of the top natural sites in the Central American country of Guatemala.  It's a volcanic lake called Lake Atitlán, and it's in the Guatemalan Highlands region which sits between the Sierra Madre de Chiapas Mountains and the Petén Basin, near the middle of the country.  Formed by a volcanic eruption estimated to have occurred about 84,000 years ago, the lake covers 130 square km (50 square mi.), with a maximum depth of about 340 meters or over 1.1k ft.

Check out this drone video of a famous Central American volcano, compliments of top contributor semberadventure.  Guatemala's Volcán de Fuego is located about 16 km (around 10 mi.) west of the city of Antigua.  The mountain is in a near-constant state of low-level activity, and is considered to be at risk for catastrophic eruption given the large population of the area.  The video was shot from the perspective of the adjacent Acatanengo volcano, which has a peak elevation of almost 4k meters above sea level (just over 13k ft.).

Antigua, Guatemala is one of the cultural and historical treasures of Central America.  Located in the interior Highlands region, Antigua was founded in 1543 as the third capital of the Kingdom of Guatemala, as the Spanish Empire's possessions in Central America were known.  It retained that role until the late 18th century, when a series of earthquakes eventually led to the capital being moved to present-day Guatemala City.  Check out this city and its beautiful Baroque churches in this fantastic drone video by shkundas.

Guatemala City at Night

Guatemala is the most populous nation of Central America, so it's not surprising that its capital Guatemala City is the largest city in the region, with an estimated metropolitan population of about 2.5 million as of 2018.  Guatemala City is also much younger than the other regional capitals, having only become a city after the capital was moved here following a series of earthquakes in the former capital Antigua.   Get a bird's eye view of GC in this impressive drone video from SkycamGuatemala.
