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
- Transport tips
I was there a while back and had a great time. Wondering if things have changed.
Planning to go back next month.
Cheers

What was your total spend roughly? Trying to budget for mine.

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

Adding my experience: scene has bounced back since pre-COVID. Biggest change: better quality.

Adding my experience: scene has improved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: some old spots closed.
