Hi @Worldwide Wu, I have booked a flight to Guatemala and wanted to get a gauge on how much acatenango trips cost. If you do t mind me asking, how much did it cost? Also, in Antigua, you mentioned a jade museum. Do you know if they do custom? Greatly appreciate any advice you can give :)

Are there any exchange currency store or banks that will exchange us dollers for Guatemalan currency?
