    Overall an oustanding place to visit. Definitely less commercial than CR but not too much. I mean there is a Starbuck, McDonalds and Office Depot in Antigua. It's definitely not as raw/gritty as Nicaragua for example. Perefectly in the middle. I can definitely see going back at some point with some changes and also to get up to Tikal and down to El Paredon. The weather overall was perfect. I'm normally an AC or not go kind of person but not a single place I stayed had AC and I didnt miss it at all. Don't bother taking USD. Not even the transport van from Antigua to Panajchel would take my $20. Credit card acceptance was far far more than I been led to believe. A few other things. Immigration is easy but definitely realize that the big signs with the bar code pertain to you and you do have to fill out the form on your phone and show it. Coming out of GUA is typical central america airport insanity where every brother, sister, cousin, aunt and apparently ever neighbor comes to the airport with ballons etc to greet you. Finding your shuttle isnt the easiest. On the way back home; security is pretty hectic but once you get through that; exit immigration was easy and fast. Overall the country felt very safe to me. I only got "scammed" once. In San Pedro I gave the guy a 10 for a 5qz purchase and he just looked at me. I said I gave you a 10 and he reached down to his till and brought out a 5qz. I just looked at him and lauged and said Ok sure I did. Im not arguing over $0.60. Other than that no issues what so ever

  5. It's next. I'm in Guatemala right now. Amazing pais. As far as El Salvador. Watch some documentaries on what their presidente has done about taking their country back
  6. The Palm as well. My favorite steakhouse
  7. Somehow able to stream from Guatemala on the app but not the website
  8. Probably an hour. So schedule your puddle for 1.5. If you are early they will send you on the next flight

    Well I've been here almost two days and fuck this a beautiful place. I'll add more but this was today
  14. Lots of good advice but be careful. There are nuances to back door roths that could get you in trouble

    Yeah. I think I did see that. Maybe another time. Its more the knees and back that don't really enjoy hikes.

    So my ex and baby mama just reminded me Monday the 19th is kids school holiday so I dont need to be back on the 18th and now I have an extra day if I chose to push. Thinking about going to one of the towns on the far side and hiking Indian Nose. Looks cool. Anyone done that? edit. Looks like I can do this as a tour from Panajchel which would only require I push one hotel and a flight and add an extra night. Its a 90 min bus ride through the countryside which might be quite a nice drive

    The more I researched Guatemala the more I realize that a week is simply not going to cover it and that's not even including Tikal. I wanted to make it down to the water as well so I guess Ill have to go back. I am not a big hiker and I am not a sleep in a tent person but those volcano hikes looks awesome. I am a mtn biker so I did schedule this
