Subject: Malaria and Money in Guatemala Posted on: Mon, 15 Dec 2003 06:56:26 +0000 (UTC)

I've traveled to South America before, and although I've taken the
pills along, I've never used them. The locals always found silly what
alarmed my doctor back home. Naturally, I took their advice not his.
I avoided dawn and dusk mesquito swarms, and managed to avoid malaria.
Even so, it's obviously not a disease I want to get, but the pills do
have their side effects.

What's the malaria reality in Palenque, Tikal/Flores, Sayaxche, and
south in the Mayan highlands?

Also, what's the exchange situation in these towns during the x-mas
holidays? Can we exchange traveler's checks, use credit cards, etc?
