Summary: Very helpful guide to travel to Guatemala.
Comment: Lonely planet is very popular in this country. You'll see a lot of travelers with a copy of the book. The maps are very acurate and you'll find good recomendations. What's great about this country is that people are friendly, so you only need the basics and the book has them.
Rating: 2
Summary: Enthusiastic but superficial
Comment: Unfortunately, this book fails to a overcome a gee-whiz attitude toward Guatemala. It seems as if the author and the destination were not a good fit, both in terms of analyzing the country and its culture, and in the quality of its writing, which is often choppy and non-sequitur--though this could also be an editing problem.
The apparent promotion--or at least tolerance--of drug consumption in Panajachel is unfortunate. Whether or not one agrees with the criminalization of marijuana or any other controlled substance, it is not a topic that should be treated so lightly in a country where the police have a reputation for corruption and the prospect of a jail term is truly frightening.
Rating: 5
Summary: Great for a one-week trip
Comment: While the other reviewers clearly know more about Guatemala than I ever will, I found this book much more helpful than the Rough Guide. The maps were easier to read, and the hotel places had prices, which was very helpful to me...
