Hi. First post- so much pressure!
We are moving (self, husband and children- 1 year, 11, 13, and 16 years old) to Antigua / Jocotenango area.
We are bilingual, have some family in Guatemala, and have visited the home that we are renting. It is at the bottom of the hill - where there is a large gated community.
It is Primera Calle y 3 Avenida area. We felt safe while we were there, but, haven't been back for 6 months, and don't know anyone that lives in the immediate area.
I was hoping that someone could tell me about the safety in this area- if there are any concerns. Again, we speak Spanish fluently, but, we are clearly expats.
We also worry about safety as it pertains to the baby. He is the love of our life, blond hair blue eyes, but, we keep having nightmares about kidnapping.
We will be there in less than a month, so, any information would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
