I WANT TO GO BACK!! Guatemala offers much for low prices. The handwork is fantastic, the people friendly, and the scenery beautiful. --------- In some ways Guatemala seems like heaven to me. Beautiful views, volcanoes, lush greenery, ancient ruins. I must admit for some it's been hell as lives have been lost in this country and tourists must take precautionsclick for weatherPopulation: 12,639,939 (July 2000 est.)
