I need some advice on safety and logistics in Latin America. A colleague and I won a two-week grant to study coffee plantations in Guatemala, but we’re arriving in the capital very late at night. I’ll go into more detail below.

    Our local contacts all agree that hitchhiking on the street or hopping on the first city bus that comes along with expensive tech and laptops in hand is the worst possible idea, because it’s easy to get lost on the routes, and safety is a concern. We’re thinking of booking a private car in advance through a trusted online platform so we can get directly to our hotel in Antigua without any unnecessary stress. Has anyone booked a ride this way before? Is this really the most reliable option for foreigners?
