Has anyone been to Guatemala? I'm going in the summer and plan to climb Acatenango and visit Antigua and areas around Lake Atitlan.how does it compare to other countries in central america? tips?
also plan to visit Tikal and do the El Mirador hike to the La Danta pyramid
how do you even get around in Guatemala if you want to do nature and mountains? do you rent a bike, a motorbike, use taxis or there are enough minibuses everywhere?
>>2879201I've been there. There are shuttle buses between all mayor tourist destinations. In the capital Uber works well. I took a flight from Guatemala City to Petén to visit Tikal.I didn't go to El Mirador, but it sounds like a great adventure. However, I spent two nights in Tikal and the jungle climate almost killed me. Didn't help that I was shitting non-stop (and continued to do so for two months) after eating fried chicken at Brujo Pollo in Guatemala City. I recommend to take probiotic pills as prophylaxis.
