Investment is sometimes an art, and sometimes a need. Beach property is always a need. In 50 years beach property will be the highest valued commodity in the world behind water. Get a piece of your future for your kids.

We love the whole ECO package. It is a message that after 100s of years of abuse we hope to send a message that we need to take care of this planet. Stop mass everything in the seas, land, skies. Sustainable living is something we can all focus on and yes, together, we can make this world a better place to be. Simply by cutting back on consumerism, we can adjust for bettering this world.
We love the arts!
We have been music and performing artist sponsors and promoters. We still are. We blog routinely in social networks about the places to be and to see. http://www.youtube.com/elmiradorantigua .

Hola from Bamboo Group!
Mid 2012 is showing great signs of economic recovery. Europe and the USA seem to be embroiled in a mess of debt crisis but what the world does not acknowledge is Central America is debt free – most specifically in terms of the lack of credit debt the general public carries. The United States of America would be bragging all over the world if the roles were reversed. Central America is far too modest to peacock its feathers but it is something it should be very proud showing off.
Being debt free and at the tail end of a recession: prior events demonstrate this is the time to invest. Risk plays a role in investment strategies and you can debate for yourself if this is the moment you wish to take a piece of the action. Acquire land outside of Antigua. In what most Americans are calling the worse recession since the great depression, Antigua has not had a drop in property prices. It may have held firm, but it did not drop. Therefore you can consider Antigua the place you may wish to start. Now that property prices have held firm, the only way for them to go is up. Buy now, enjoy later.

SALES REFERRALS
Well we are proud. We are into our 10th year in Guatemala. What an experience it has been and working in Real Estate is something that I find to be rewarding and self-fulfilling. We would like you to consider joining us. We are looking for individuals in the following locations to work with us: Antigua, Quetzaltenango, Monterrico, Rio Dulce. If you are familiar with these places we can work with you in conjunction with our properties and our clients. We offer a very generous compensation package.
If you are not interested in being a full time broker, consider supplying us with a lead. We pay 10% of our commission for a solid sales referral. It must include an introduction to a contact and then result with a closing of a deal. Upon our receiving a commission, you will receive your 10% referral fee. For instance, on a lead for a $400,000 usd property, you can earn up to $2000 usd just to say… Bamboo… this is such and such. If you are a sales broker, the sales commission is much greater.

Hey Investor!
Guess it is rain season again in Guatemala and time to focus on investments (as we wait for La Canicula to enjoy 2 weeks at the Beach and fun in the sun.) Until then lets take a look at what is new, hot, and offering , as Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys would say…

You are minutes away from Livingston and some of the best eco-living in the world. As well, we have a great Eco-tourism location available for those who wish to invest in a self sustained Eco-Resort in the Rio hemisphere.
Ciudad Guatemala is hot! The primary zones Z09, 10, 13, 14, 15, 16, CES, San Cristobal are excellent investment regions.

GOD BLESS YOU
Semana Santa is over! Now we are spiritually cleansed and rested (oh yes, a week at the beach with family and friends gave us rest and relaxation.) Now, what was great in Guate-City was no traffic — EVEN AT 5PM!!! Also, gave us a chance to check out the city and have a great time at LOOPS a great place to go with the family for Roller-Skating, Go-Karts, Paintball, mini-putt, and more. Also, don’t forget the MUSEO DE LOS NINOS. If you haven’t been before, make a date and check ’em out. Guate-City also has a ZOO for a play day with all the family. Also, METRO BOWLING in Z15. I think we should organize a party and knock down a few pin(t)s. Those of you from Antigua can organize a bus. Stay the night and hang in Z10 Rattle n Hum or Z1 Reilly’s.
Now investment talk. The economy is picking up and the prices for real estate have remained stagnant and if not, decreased over the past few years. Trends have told us that coming out of a recession is the best time to invest for the best return on investments. Around Antigua we are seeking groups of investors with small bits of money ($15,000 usd each) to purchase chunks of lots together to build their own friend-ship communities. Talk to your friends about this. $15,000 usd can be paid off in the matter of a few years but the property can remain with you forever. Those of our upper middle class clients; we have a great property over looking San Juan del Obispo. A serious contender for a wise investment or developer. Image 1 level ranch homes around the edge of the property and 2 levels behind the ranch houses so each property gets a view overlooking Antigua.
Antigua and the surrounding areas are changing and the ‘old’ ways wont be so old into the future. Technology is changing the landscape of this country faster than anybody can imagine and one generation from now you wont be able to identify it. The old is old and the younger generation is changing the way business is done, the speed in which they are done, and the vibrancy of it all. Change is a scary thing but it is magical to watch it happen.
Please fill in the missing details below. We want you to be part of our vision, our investments, and our forward approach to where and how to make your investments. Investments are a serious game but should be enjoyed and taken advantage of in life. Beach property, Antigua Resort Living, and living well and comfortable in Guate-City. Now we are in Xela too!! We also have some regions we will be focusing on in the future. Come check them out.
…to be our client. We want your exclusive business in dealing with us. We offer in return our confidentiality, dedication to your requirements, and to get you the best price on your investment. More than that, we will look at new and creative ways in order for your investment to make an exponential return on investment. Ask us how we can do business together. Please ensure we have your correct data below.
Antigua, situated in the Department of Sacatepéquez, in Guatemala, Central America has a reputation for being a colonial hub-spot for the gateway to Central America. Guatemala is also renowned for having coastal resort get-a-ways: Included in this are the lake regions Amatitlan, Atitlan, along with Petén and others. Mayan ruins of Tikal and El Mirador. Don’t forget the East and West coasts where you can locate Rio Dulce and Monterrico respectfully. There is that, and many more things to do and see. But the part that escapes most visitors and those who spend years here is Guatemala City, or as affectionately called, La Capital.
Hanging around in the city
You see, La Capital gets a bad rap and most visitors only come to the town to stamp their passports or visit their Embassy. They stay away from the city because they hear stories of crime and true, it does exist, but really it is kept to zones that are outside of the populous areas. The main and central areas of Guatemala City, namely Zone 10 (popularly known as Zona Viva – “lively zone”) is a happening, attractive, and really cool place to visit and get to know. Within the zone you will find around 9 square blocks of eateries, shopping, and yes, bars/ discothèques. The size is pretty similar to the size of the ‘Casco of Antigua.’
In terms of crime in the Zona Viva area there is very standard amounts in comparison to any large urban areas of most metropolitan districts of the US or Canada not to mention European cities. However, what you avoid from spending time here is the flavour that the city offers and we will touch on some of the great attractions this region of Guatemala City has to offer. It is quickly becoming a safer area with the implementation of CCTVs or video surveillance cameras, criminals take notice of easy regions to work in and some areas of the city are becoming difficult to cause crime.
Spend a day
Within Zona Viva you have many types of activities to consider. To begin with, you have Oakland Mall. Oakland Mall is a Mecca of North American styled shopping. Only 3 upper levels, it has a great selection of stores over any mall in the city for convenience, choice, and accessibility. Plus a fair sized Cinepolis. Spending an afternoon there to hang is a cool way to see the different side of Guatemala; for the back-packer scene. Yeah, very “first world’ but this is the reason for the trip, to see different perspectives of the country.
Nokiate Plate em up
Now Zona Viva provides some of the best dining in the Country. To begin with you have Nokiate or Tamarindos. Both offer advanced fair in food presentation and taste. Though higher on the “shi-shi pooh-pooh” stratosphere, they do cater to a clientele who enjoys lavishing their palate and with rates that would not cause a stir to any foreigner. For the budgeting traveler, this would not be in your best interest. Now the Kloster is your Fondue fair establishment. Bring in your friends and share food and drink together. Now some less known but certainly well deserved mentions are the following.
Kwahp khun kha – is the real authentic Thai food in the city. Parking is ample, security on premise, and the food is super delicious. The owners are down to earth and very wonderful to talk to and deliver a great quality of food preparation and taste. Prices are excellent.
La Taberna del Griego Guatemala – Authentic taste of Greek Food here in Guatemala. Very tasty Tzaziki, Souvlakis, and all on their menu. Their potatoe fries are cooked with Olive Oil and you can sabour the taste! You will love the food, the central location is easy to locate and find parking as well. It is a great place to spend an afternoon.
Abbasi – Authentic Indian Food. Those from Antigua will know of them from 1st Avenida. Well, you can have it as well in the city. You will not find better in the city, if you can locate any at all. It is comfortable, delicious, wonderful.
A great place to grab a grilled steak
Hacienda Real – Everybody will tell you, if you wish to treat yourself and a few friends to a GREAT steak dinner, you could do little better in life than finding yourself at Z10s Hacienda Real. The atmosphere is bustling with a service force that is very professional, dedicated, and catering to your needs. The food is served relatively quick and with zest, pride, quality, and consistency. The ambience is a perfect Hacienda feel for the city folk who visit to bring back memories of being on the farm with friends. You will find regular folk up to presidents dinning here… you are safe and secure, happy and well fed.
These would be certain treats and solid recommendations for any individual planning on making an early evening in the Zona Viva. It would be safe to assume a 7ish entry to any of the aforementioned locations and departure around 10pm to visit a local bar or club.
This is where you go to beat out
Now once you plan on leaving your eatery, you will want to visit some swill-holes. Now there is the ever-popular Rattle n Hum, and its sister bar, El Establo. These cater mostly to the ex-pat and UN/ Embassy type of international people working in the city. Esperanto’s and Go Deep are two opposite style bars that are side by side. One is the Bohemian style bar, laid back; chill out and Che Guevara look a like’s. Go Deep is the live music and pick up joint for more of the local / national fair. Both great places to be and be seen. The last of these places are the Retro Bar and those located around… the streets are darker and the places are more tougher around the edges… they are safe but you would want to travel in packs. Now for those into the groove, dj wanna-be’s, and spinners alike, “The Box“; coolest little hang out joint that will give you the best till the end of the night. These places are great, there are others, but I have only seen so many.
Now, within the Zona district you have some interesting places to visit in the afternoons. One is the Design Center but stay tuned next week for our article to give you an idea of this great place to visit and explore while you are in our great city.
The Design Center for your home needs in Guatemala City Zona 10
