We leave tomorrow

We are leaving tomorrow for Guatemala and I have one more question. Is it safe to leave our money/passports in the hotel safe? Or should we always carry our passports with us? Thanks

Carry a COPY of your passport with you. And have a terrific time!

Always carry the original on my person in a money belt worn to
the front under clothing with all
other critical papaers money.

Street value on a stolen passport

3-5K USD

Not all hotel safes are safe

Keep a copy in my wallet use the copy for hotel check in...

Thanks for your replies. I always bring copies of my passport and it's a good idea to use that for check in.I think that the places we are staying are probably alright but you just never know who is around. I have left my passport before with the owner of the hotel in their area and felt safe with that but I think I will keep in on my body in Guatemala.
Interesting to know what the street value is for a passport.It's more then I would have guessed.
