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 another expat who made the move to Cuidad Vieja, Guatemala.
"Expats in Guatemala often join clubs and activities such as language exchange groups, book clubs, and outdoor activities like hiking and biking. Expats can also meet people by attending local events such as festivals, concerts, and art exhibitions. Additionally, many expats find it helpful to join online forums and social media groups related to their interests, as well as attending networking events and meetups," explained one expat living in Guatemala.
