Guatemala is my family's home country, and i just had a relative come back from vacation there. Its really not safe anywhere, the whole country has gone to shit with delinquency, and the police couldn't give two fucks since they're corrupted and bought by major gangs there. You also have an influx of Salvatruchas from el salvador fucking up the country, along with the rest of Central America.
