How do I meet people in Guatemala?
When we asked people living in Guatemala about club and activities where newcomers can meet others, they responded:
"The best thing a new-comer should do is take a 10-15 ride to Antigua there you can meet all the expats you want," remarked one foreigner who made the move to Cuidad Vieja.
"Esquipulas is a small,friendly,laid back city. Most people will say "Hi" to you on the street. There are only 5 expats here, and we don`t have a club. But, we do help each other when asked. It's a fairly safe place, unlike the Capitol. You can walk down the street at 2AM in the morning without fearing for your life," explained one person living in Esquipulas, Guatemala.
