I would love to visit Guatemala on my gap year after finishing school. Does anyone know how easy is it to buy stuff, go shopping, access medication, go to pharmacies etc. in Guatemala? I've heard that shopping opportunities are few and far between, and that there is not much variety for food and take-out options like in major cosmopolitan cities – is this the case in Guatemala City?

Thanks
