"One of the most challenging aspects of the local culture for expats in San Pedro La Laguna is the language barrier. Many locals speak only Spanish, and even those who do speak English may not be fluent. Additionally, the local customs and traditions can be difficult to understand and navigate for those who are not familiar with them. Expats may also find it difficult to adjust to the slower pace of life in San Pedro La Laguna, as well as the lack of modern amenities and conveniences. Finally, the cost of living in San Pedro La Laguna can be higher than in other parts of Guatemala, making it difficult for expats to find affordable housing and other necessities," explained one expat living in San Pedro La Laguna, Guatemala.
