Camping
Camping in Guatemala can be a hit-or-miss affair as there are few designated campgrounds and safety is rarely guaran-
teed. Where campsites are available, expect to pay from Q20 to Q50 per person per night.

Homestays
Travelers attending Spanish school have the option of living with a Guatemalan family. This is usually a pretty good
bargain - expect to pay between Q300 and Q600 a week on top of your tuition for your own room, shared bathroom,
and three meals a day except Sunday. It's important to find a homestay that gels with your goals - some families host
several students at a time, creating more of an international hostel atmosphere than a family environment.
