How much Guatemalan Quetzals would be enough for me in Guatemala?


Travel Info
I'll be going to Guatemala for a week on a spanish study course and i was wondering how much of the local currency would be sufficient. I already have my accommodation and food paid for and since i'll be studying I dont plan to take many 'tourist trips'. I have no idea how much of the local currency i should bring! I'm in england so i wont have $'s which is why i need to exchange some money.

Travel Tips
1 us $=7.63 Q if you spend $20.00 PER DAY IT WOULD TAKE 152.6 BIRDS. l lived in Antigua a few years ago for $12.00 a day paid for everything, things have gone up you will have fun some of the best coffee in the world grown in the area elev. near 4800 ft. dark volcanic soil makes for the good coffee go to the mkt. buy fresh fruit. Go in the San Carlos restaurant on the zocalo have a coffee. You can exchange pound at the bank. Source(s): Off and on for a year in Antigua you didn't say you were going to study in Antigua but that's where most go they have many many schools.

Other Travel Tips
You'll find Guatemala to be very cheap. If everything else is paid 70 quetzales per day should be more than enough, unless you drink heavily, but that's another story.
According to the 2006 worldwide cost of living survey Guatemala is the most expensive country in Central America and fifth in all Latin America, so don't think its very cheap. It will depend on your needs but between US$25 and US40 would be reasonable.
