Travel Info If i go to guatemala what food do u recommend i eat and what are some good sites to visit? Travel Tips Hola! Comida Guatemalteca is delightfully different from other latin american countries because the most popular bean is the black bean, one of the highest in protein and flavor, served either whole when cooked with garlic and onion "parados" or more popularly liquefied in a blender and served as a thick liquid "collados", or then sauteed in onions and served re fried "volteados". Also unlike most other countries, Guatemala is the land of El Hombre de Maiz, corn rules and corn tortillas are usually hand made and cooked on a clay surface "comal". Corn is even served roasted over open charcoal and corn tamales are soft and succulent, almost like a mush with bits of meat and vegetable! Guatemalans love barbecue, especially beef, and have several exquisite and complicated dishes such as Pepian (pork,ribs/brown chili and spices sauce), Jocon (chicken/green sauce) or Hilachas (beef/red sauce). Guatemala city has a lot of disco and night clubs where you can find every type of modern music. Arjona is one current recording artist from Guatemala. You are going to love Antigua! In general do hang out around the central plaza with it's fountains, benches and very old trees, surrounded by colonial buildings, bars and restaurants. there is where you will find the sellers of the "Tipica', clothes and hand woven articles, and so many different kinds of people, locals and tourists. For food, do visit the restaurants called Dona Luisa Xicotencatl or La Fonda de la Calle real. If you like hiking and scenery, climb the Volcan De Agua and spend the night on top, or visit the Mariposario de Jocotenango, five minutes away. Buena Suerte!

Try the french fries. They're to die for. no idea, ive never been there. but i will suggest to u, go to the bar, club or disco take a guatemala girl and taste it. thats more interesting. Ooooh, If it's half as bad as Britsh Honduras then take a packed lunch! here's a pretty interesting video from the Tourism Institute http://form.visitguatemala.com/video.asp...
