I am travelling from Costa Rica to Guatemala in August. I was planning on spending 4-7 days in Guatemala coming from Belize (I really want to see Tikal) and then flying home from Guatemala city. I am beginning to worry about bus travel in Guatemala and how safe it is. I won't be travelling alone, and know to keep an eye my stuff and obviously not wander around at night. But I was wondering if anyone had been in Guatemala recently and could offer any advice. I am reading more and more stories of car and bus jacking - is this the reality?

You may be reading more and more stories, but they are not recent ones and they probably go back a few years. Robberies along highways have gone down this year especially, while tourism is up.

I will be back early next year!!!!!!
