Way off topic - Travel to Guatemala

[gatita loca]

I know this is way off topic but does anyone have any good resources for travel to Guatemala?  Are there any forums similar to this one or guide book suggestions?

Ha ha, no offense taken!  Well, we'd be remiss if we didn't recommend the book of our colleague, Al Argueta:

Moon Guatemala (http://fr.moon.com/books/moon-handbooks/moon-guatemala-second-edition).

It's been a couple of years since I visited Guatemala, so I haven't read the book.  But knowing what Avalon Travel Publishing puts us through to ensure Moon Nica is of good quality, I feel confident Al has written a great quality guidebook.

Happy travels -

Randy

PS - Nicaragua is safer than Guatemala, boo ya!

I can second the recommendation of Moon Guatemala.  We traveled with Al's first edition and actually had to buy another guidebook for some advance planning, as Moon Guatemala wasn't scheduled to hit the shelves until just days before we left.  The Moon guide was much better than the other book we bought.  Maybe not quite as amazing as Moon Nicaragua, but still very good.
