Guatemala and vacation rentals

View: Rental in Santiago Atitlan

Guatemala, “country of eternal spring”, ideally located at the intersection of the North and South Americas, and with beaches bathed by the Atlantic Pacific Ocean, should be an ideal destination for vacation rentals. This is not yet the case, at the moment due to several factors like the lack of security and weak governmental publicity strategy. Despite a strong network of brand new highways and a good conversion rate for the dollar it is still a destination for adventurers, people willing to deal with uncertainty. With a wide selection of interesting tourist locations, it is a destination with great potential particularly being so close to the US market with only 2,5 hours flight from Miami, 5 hours from LA and 6 to NY.
