3. Don’t Drink the Tap Water
If you want to enjoy the rest of your tropical holiday, then it would be in your best interest to avoid drinking tap water while in Guatemala. Many tourists have learned this the hard way, ending up with bad cases of the stomach bug just because they drank water from the tap.
To be extra sure that you don’t get sick from the water, avoid using it even for rinsing after brushing your teeth. Stick to using bottled water and make sure that the ice you use only comes from purified sources.
