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 6 months ago and had a decent time. Wondering if things have changed.
Any recent trip reports would be helpful.
Cheers

Word of caution — do not carry too much cash. Other than that, great destination.
