Panajachel

Has anyone taken a budget vacation to Guatemala or Costa Rica? Any suggestions or cautions? We two reverend gal pals are considering volcanic settings, including this one:

I am concerned that the altitude might give me panic attacks, because I had a hard time breathing in Mexico City. The pollution there didn't help, of course.

Thanks for any tips.

Thanks, John C. But my pal is set on Guatemala and we're buying our tickets tomorrow. Maybe some other time I'll get to see Nicaragua.

I visited Guatemela last September. I spent approximately $400 there, and this included housing, all meals, travel within the country, and four hours of Spanish lessons every week day.

I went to Lake Atitlan on a weekend by myself. It is beautiful. I know a really amazing place to stay. Expensive by Guatemalan standards ($12 a night for a room), but amazing. Like an elf village. Have never seen anything like it. Let me know if you want the info.
