Guatemala
Antigua and Lake Atitlán are the heart of Central America's backpacker circuit and one of the cheapest places on the continent to learn Spanish one-to-one. Volcanoes, markets and Tikal's jungle pyramids fill the rest of a month easily.

Sécurité
Guatemala City has serious crime; Antigua, Atitlán, Flores and the main tourist routes are far calmer but armed robbery on hiking trails and on some roads does occur. Use tourist shuttles rather than chicken buses at night, and hike volcanoes with guides.
