Is Guatemala worth backpacking?

>>1096385
Yes, it is.

I'm from Guatemala, ask anything

I just spend last February there backpacking. It's fairly easy and despite initial concerns I didn't have any single problem there.

There is a pretty obvious backpacker trail which is packed with backpackers and package tourists and then there are other spots where you won't find any of them

Absolutely. Never planned to go there but heard so many good things while I was in Mexico. The energy there is amazing and if you're into healthy living, hiking, nature, etc it has everything. The partying is as good as anywhere else but I'd highly recommend it

How long can I expect to visit before I am robbed and murdered?

How illegal is cannabis, and is it hard to find?

As a local, what is your absolute favorite spot in the country?

Depends on what an asshole you are, it's directly proportional.

I'm not a cannabis consumer, but I guess not so much illegal and easy to get. It's more likely to see (or smell) people smoking a joint in touristic places so you will be fine.

For me it's Panajachel and Atitlán lake. I also enjoy driving from the city to there, the road will always surprise you with an stunning landscape like picture related
