I travel to Guatemala for the first time, I was afraid because I heard so many bad news about violence in guatemala, but surprise! everithing was wonderfull,. First when I arrived to the airport, there was a man from the hotel Mariana's petit hotel waiting for me , he was very kind, and the hotel was so pretty, the rooms nice and comfortable and had hair dryer, and toiletries in every room, every room had private bath, and the living room full of antiques, i really enjoy it, the breakfast superb, and the room service too, the staff arrange all my tours, and I really got good prices, I went to Tikal by plane and they prepared me a nice lunch box, and a noticed the difference with the ones you canget inthe park. I had a wonderfull time in Guatemala, I recomend the trip, and stay near the airport, is so nice to enjoy a breakfast before you go because is only two minutes drive, and was one of the first on the line, had plenty of time to shop duty free. The people in Guatemala are so kind, by the end of the week I felt like Fernando and Jeannette the owners of the Hotel where my family. I am planning to go next year and visit Quiche, Nebaj and Coban. If some body can tell my about the rapids of Rio Cahabon please.

Glad you overcame your fears and enjoyed your trip and that it was problem free....most visits here are...but the people who try to scare away visitors, never read the trip reports or anything positive about Guatemala. Some of them keep coming here themselves, yet they try to discourage others. Mostly their reasons are political....no matter who is in power they are angry...what a shame to go through life an angry bitter person.So glad you had a good time...GUatemala is a special place, there is so much to see and enjoy and participate in. Come back soon.
