    I want to purchase Guatemalan quetzals prior to my upcoming trip there. Where may I purchase Guatemalan quetzals online with USD? Is there a reliable site with the proper exchange rate ($1 = 7.77Q)?

      Hi George,

      Thank you for getting in touch with finder.

      Currently, we do not have a specific page where you may purchase Guatemalan quetzals. You may try to order from your bank however the rate may not be as good as the one you’re looking at. It is also a good idea to check some forums, travel blogs or websites about where some travelers got their Guatemalan quetzals at a decent rate.

      I hope this helps.

      Thank you and have a wonderful day!

      Cheers,
      Jeni
