Perfectly adequate weekend read + next life chapter primer. Que chilero!

[Selina E. · Rating 3 out of 5]

A very general introduction of the history and culture of Guatemala. Don't expect anything profound or helpful for planning a trip. But still glad to have it with me while traveling right across Guatemala.

helpful when I visited Guatemala in the summer of 2019.
