When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Guatemala, they said...

"It is a great country to live in provided you have a certain income and are willing to accept the restrictions the insecurity imposes," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Guatemala-City, Guatemala.

"If you are thinking about living in Antigua remember the prices there are ridiculously expensive in everything. Cuidad Vieja is very close to Antigua (10-15 min.) and everything here is very inexpensive. Example I have big 5 Br. house 3Br. Garage and a killer view of the volcanoes all for $187.00 per month, not even possible in Antigua. Cuidad Vieja is a very quite city and very low crime. A Great Place to retire to," commented one expat who made the move to Cuidad Vieja, Guatemala.
