Ok listen my girlfriend is Guatemalan and her dad lives in Zona 13. We live in Orlando and she wants to go visit her dad. Google Guatemala city and it sounds like Iraq with it being dangerous. What do you know about zone 13?

[Twonny06]

in terms of safety, zona 13 is relatively safe.

even though zone 13 is considered to be one of the safer zones, the city as a whole is still VERY VERY dangerous

but when you do visit your girlfriend's father in Guatemala City, i'm more than sure that you'll be venturing out into the other zones either accidently or simply by driving through to get to another zone.

As long as you stay out of zone 18, you'll be fine

zones what im going in a few ours im not trying to accidentally. End up in zone 18 and get shot lol

[Twonny06]

despite what people think, zone 18 is very modern and commercial. just stay out of it at night and try not to look like a tourist, but most tourist void this area altogether. but the view of the city is spectacular from zone 18, and the view of the mountains are amazing too, since most tourists do not visit zone 18 they end up missing the beautiful views zone 18 have to offer.

I use to fly back and forth from miami fla. to los angeles ca on pan am back in the 70's and early 80's. this meant that i would have about a 15-20 hour lay over. i stayed at the pan american hotel every time due to pan am's crew stayed there as well. at that time guatemala was, and i am sure it still is one of the most layed back places and the people incredibly friendly. i hope to go back sometime soon.

well zone one is still pretty dangerous but most parts of it is nice, its like going to the bad areas or the projects in the US. btw ppl have alot of work to do so they dont really like being on camera bcuz of that also the other reason may be that they think youre crazy simply by taking the camera out in broad daylight its not like in the US where ppl walk with ease holding a cellphone out. Thieves there will not care who you are its a nice camera for them =P nice vid btw
