Has anyone been to Guatemala recently? Looking for the latest intel.
Specifically interested in:
- Current price ranges
- Best areas right now
- Any safety concerns to be aware of
- Best hotels near the scene
I was there a while back and had a good time. Wondering if things have changed.
Keen to hear from anyone who has been recently.
Cheers
Guatemala vs last year — has it changed?

Did you use an agency or find girls at bars?

Good info. Going during the week is much better — less crowded and better prices.

Adding my experience: scene has stayed the same since pre-COVID. Biggest change: better quality.

Been there 12 times now. Still one of my top destinations. The friendly atmosphere is what keeps me coming back.
