Creator's Key Takeaways

I would put Guatemala in the top five of most underrated countries on earth.

The basic tour for Guatemala is eight days.

It's a very nice place to visit.

This is seriously one of the coolest things I've ever seen in my life.

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Only pull out $100 worth of local currency at the airport for markets.
โœ“Do not rent a car in Guatemala; use tours for transportation.
โœ“Book tours with local guides for safety and handholding.

๐Ÿ†•New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Safety in Guatemala โ€” The tour is fully guided with centrally located hotels; no problems reported for customers.
Language barriers in villages โ€” Some villagers speak native languages, not Spanish; don't feel stupid if you don't understand.
