I'll be going to Guatemala for a week on a spanish study course and i was wondering how much of the local currency would be sufficient. I already have my accommodation and food paid for and since i'll be studying I dont plan to take many 'tourist trips'. I have no idea how much of the local currency i should bring! I'm in england so i wont have $'s which is why i need to exchange some money.

According to the 2006 worldwide cost of living survey Guatemala is the most expensive country in Central America and fifth in all Latin America, so don't think its very cheap. It will depend on your needs but between US$25 and US40 would be reasonable.

You'll find Guatemala to be very cheap. If everything else is paid 70 quetzales per day should be more than enough, unless you drink heavily, but that's another story.
