Quetzales or U.S. $?

10 years ago
Planning a move to Guate soon and I am wondering if it is better to bring U.S. dollars or Quetzales in order to open a bank account down there. I lived in Guate before and have a NIT, but is it better to buy Quetzales here from my bank in U.S. or exchange U.S. $ when I am in Guate.

Also, which U.S. bank and which Guate bank are best to work with in order to facilitate transfers from U.S. bank to Guate bank?

Thank you for any info you might have on this.
