1 guide, each rated 1 to 5 with the reason — and two lists per place, where you are comfortable and where to pay attention. Nowhere is called dangerous; the specific thing is what helps.
Antigua itself is one of the safer towns in the region and comfortable to walk by day. Take a licensed shuttle rather than public buses between towns, and only climb Acatenango with a reputable operator — the overnight hike is demanding and cold.
Comfortable: Antigua Guatemala
Cerro de la Cruz — without the tourist police escort, which is free and runs on a schedule
Chicken buses to the capital, which are robbed
Volcán de Fuego tours, which camp beside an active volcano — check the operator
The ratings are this site's own, from the guides' authors and the corrections readers send in; they are not an index. Read the general advice in travel safety tips.
