Nestled in the hearth of Central America, this country will lead you through ancient jungles that used to house the largest Mayan civilizations. While the Spanish Conquistadores may have left their mark on this land, the interesting history and blend of customs of this country has created a rich and colorful culture. It is not just the natural and historical wonders that make Guatemala truly special; it is the warmth and hospitality of its people that will leave an indelible mark on your heart. From the moment you step foot in this enchanting country, you will be immersed in a symphony of traditions, customs, and celebrations that have been passed down through generations

As you explore Guatemala's diverse landscapes, you will be awestruck by the breathtaking beauty that surrounds you. From the majestic volcanoes that dominate the skyline to the emerald-green waters of stunning Lake Atitlán, nature reveals its most splendid creations at every turn. Immerse yourself in the dense rainforests, where exotic wildlife and vibrant bird species roam freely, or wander through the ancient ruins of Tikal or Yaxha, where the echoes of ancient rituals seem to whisper through the ancient stone structures.

ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW

GENERALLY SAFE? NOT according to governments. YES according to most travellers

According to the Global Safety Index, Guatemala is not a safe country to visit. However, travelers feel different and many solo (female) travelers have been arriving to the country the past year. Government websites will probably scare you, as they describe very sinister cases. I myself have not experienced a single moment during which I felt unsafe, and have not heard anything from others. Do consider following the standard route as the touristic areas tend to be safer.

In terms of natural disasters, Guatemala is located in a seismically active region and is prone to earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. It is important to be prepared for these types of events and to follow the guidance of local authorities if you are in an affected area.

Pickpocketing and petty theft are relatively common in Guatemala, especially in crowded areas such as markets and tourist attractions. It is a good idea to keep an eye on your belongings and to avoid carrying large amounts of cash or valuables.

Exploring lesser touristic areas in Guatemala can provide unique and authentic experiences. However, it's important to be aware that these areas may have limited tourist infrastructure and fewer security measures in place. Researching the specific region beforehand, seeking local advice, and being prepared with necessary supplies and communication methods are crucial when venturing into less touristic areas. The border areas are more unstable than the rest of the country, and there are even some volcanoes that you'd better not climb without a guide to prevent you from being robbed. Check with your accommodation what they recommend and keep an eye on local news.

One popular mode of transportation in Guatemala is the "chicken bus." These brightly colored, repurposed American school buses serve as public transportation across the country. While chicken buses are a common way to travel, they may have crowded conditions, potential pickpocketing risks, and drivers who tend to prioritize efficiency over safety. These buses are very cheap but also are very unsafe when traveling longer distances. According to locals, "bandits" jump in these buses to rob you at gun point. We were told to not take these and spend a bit more on other transportation types. It is advisable to be cautious when using chicken buses and consider alternative transportation options for longer journeys or when traveling with valuable belongings.

Overall, Guatemala is a friendly and welcoming country, and the vast majority of visitors experience no problems during their stay. It is always a good idea to be vigilant and to follow common sense safety precautions, such as not walking alone at night in unfamiliar areas and being aware of your surroundings.

SPANISH

Guatemala is a country with a rich linguistic diversity. The official language of Guatemala is Spanish, spoken by the majority of the population. Spanish serves as the primary language of communication in business, government, education, and everyday life. It is important to note that Guatemalan Spanish has its unique regional variations and indigenous influences.

In addition to Spanish, there are about 30 Mayan languages spoken in Guatemala. These indigenous languages have a significant presence and are used by a considerable portion of the population. Some of the most widely spoken Mayan languages include K'iche', Q'eqchi', Mam, Kaqchikel, and Q'anjob'al, among others.

English is also spoken in certain tourist areas, hotels, and establishments catering to international visitors. However, outside of these contexts, English proficiency may vary, and it is helpful to have some basic knowledge of Spanish, especially when traveling to non-touristy regions.

The linguistic diversity in Guatemala reflects the country's vibrant multicultural identity. Embracing the various languages spoken in Guatemala can enrich cultural experiences and foster better communication with the local population. If you have access to internet, the app Deepl can also help you out a lot in difficult situations.

TRANSPORTATION

Shuttles are a lot more expensive than chicken buses or other types of transportation, but they offer airconditioned and safe drives. Make sure you book with a reputable organization that is connected to INGUAT, so you don't fall victim to a scam. You can book shuttles through our friend Marco (an 80 year old local in Antigua), through local bus offices like Litegua, or at your hostel/hotel. The latter will be most expensive.

Chicken Buses are generarlly safe when you stay within 10-15 minute distances. It's fun to experience this at least once, as you are immersed in local life. The buses are old American school buses and are often painted in bright colors and covered in big lights. We were adviced by Marco to not take these buses for longer drives as many robberies happen.

Tuktuks are not only used in Asian countries as they can be seen as far as the eye can see in Guatemala.

Hitchhiking

Indonesia is a diverse and predominantly Muslim country, but there is also a significant minority of people who practice other religions, including Protestantism, Catholicism, Hinduism, and Buddhism.

Freedom of religion is protected by the Indonesian constitution and people are generally free to practice their religion of choice. However, there have been some instances of religious tensions and violence in the country, particularly between different religious groups. Moreover, every person in Indonesia must indicate their religion in their passport or identification document, and atheism is so far not an option.

The government of Indonesia is committed to promoting religious tolerance and has taken steps to address religious tensions, including through education and dialogue. However, it is always a good idea to be respectful of the customs and beliefs of others when visiting Indonesia or any other country.

The people of Indonesia seem to overall accept others' religions, and often tell tourists that "Humanity is the best religion".

ATMs are generaly relatively easy to find in the bigger cities and towns of Guatemala. Looking for a bank however does not always lead you to an ATM, and because of that it's better to ask around for a "Cajero Automatico" or a "Cajera". The ATMs all add a fee (often 45 quetzales per withdrawal) on top of your withdrawals, and unlike in other countries you cannot only use the fee given by your creditcard company. The limits differ per ATM or per bank company and sometimes allow you to take out money only once a day, sometimes multiple times.

Cards like Wise and Revolut can be used very well in Guatemala too. Using a card like that enables you to pay a very limited fee as opposed to what your own bank demands.

In towns located outside the touristic areas (and for example the better known El Paredon), finding ATMs can be more challenging. These towns may have limited banking infrastructure, and ATMs might be scarce or non-existent. It's important to plan ahead and ensure you have enough cash before venturing into these areas.

Highlands ( Altiplano ): The Highlands region is located in the western part of Guatemala and is characterized by its mountainous terrain. It is home to the majority of Guatemala's indigenous population and is known for its rich Mayan cultural heritage. The region features beautiful colonial towns, such as Antigua Guatemala, as well as traditional markets, colorful textiles, and picturesque lakes, including Lake Atitlán.
Pacific Coast ( Costa Sur ): The Pacific Coast region stretches along the southern and southwestern part of Guatemala. It offers a diverse landscape, including beautiful beaches, volcanic black sand, and mangrove forests. The Pacific Coast is known for its popular tourist destinations like Monterrico, which offers opportunities for surfing and turtle watching, and the historic port city of Puerto San José.
Petén : Located in the northern part of Guatemala, Petén is characterized by its tropical rainforests and ancient Mayan ruins. It is the largest and most sparsely populated region in the country. The world-famous archaeological site of Tikal, with its impressive Mayan temples and pyramids rising above the jungle canopy, is a major attraction in this region. Petén is also home to diverse wildlife and the expansive Maya Biosphere Reserve.
Caribbean Coast ( Costa Caribe ): The Caribbean Coast region is situated along the eastern part of Guatemala, bordering the Caribbean Sea. It features a mix of sandy beaches, lush rainforests, and vibrant Afro-Caribbean culture. The town of Livingston is a popular destination known for its unique Garifuna culture and cuisine. The region also offers opportunities for snorkeling, diving, and exploring the pristine coastal ecosystems.
Central Verapaz (Verapaces): Central Verapaz is a mountainous region located in the central part of Guatemala. It is characterized by its dense cloud forests, cascading waterfalls, and rugged landscapes. The region is known for its biodiversity and is a popular destination for ecotourism. Semuc Champey, a series of turquoise pools and natural limestone bridges, is a major highlight of the area.
Eastern Highlands (Sierra del Oriente): The Eastern Highlands region is situated in the northeastern part of Guatemala. It is known for its picturesque landscapes, including volcanic peaks, highland lakes, and fertile valleys. The region is home to several indigenous communities and offers opportunities for hiking, birdwatching, and exploring traditional Mayan villages.

DRY SEASON

Most people go between December and April, when it's dry season. The height of the rain season can be very straining on your travel plans and roads may be closed making it impossible to reach next destinations.

DECEMBER

This month is one during which weather is great (dry and warm) and while it's busy, you can join in the festivities surrounding Christmas and New Year's Eve. Because of those festivities, accommodation fills up quickly - so plan ahead! At night the temperatures drop drastically, so bringing layers is a good idea.

JANUARY

January is a great time to go to Guatemala since the weather is warm and dry throughout. It's ideal for trekking in the highlands, climbing volcanoes, and checking out the jungle temples in Tikal, the Mayan city. Lots of people visit during this time, so plan ahead to avoid the crowds.

FEBRUARY

One of the most pleasant months as it is less crowded in Guatemala, it barely rains and temperatures are less drasticly hot. It is coffee harvesting season in this month as well, which you can enjoy at for example the Fraijanes Coffee Harvest Festival.

MARCH

March is one of the hottest months in the year and marks the end of winter and the beginning of a very humid spring. This makes the country a perfect swimming destination where you can experience the Semuc Champey pools, Atitlan Lake and ice cold rivers and waterfalls.

APRIL

The busiest weeks in the year are those in and around Semana Santa. During this time, Easter is celebrated and nowhere in the world this attracts more people than Antigua does. If you plan to go, book your accommodation months in advance. Next to Antigua, the rest of the country's accommodations are also filled up rather fast. We've met many people having troubles finding a place to stay last minute.

It very rarely rains in April but humidity levels increase in this shoulder month. Temperatures rise as well, so if you feel Antigua is too hot for you, consider moving around to for example Quetzaltenango. April is not the best time of year to visit Tikal and the rest of Peten because the heat and humidity tends to be too much for tourists. Also the fog in the rain forests is denser and visibility is not optimal.

WET SEASON

MAY

May marks the start of the rainy season in Guatemala. The mornings are hot and humid, while the afternoons experience frequent downpours. Occasionally, tropical storms pass through the region, accompanied by spectacular lightning displays that illuminate the entire sky, especially above the volcanoes.The country is less crowded than in the dry season.

JUNE

June in Guatemala is a serene and tranquil month, yet nature's splendor takes center stage. Along the Pacific Coast, sea turtles arrive to nest, while the rains contribute to the waterfalls' majestic flow, creating a mesmerizing sight.Two highly recommended destinations are Semuc Champey and Alta Verapaz.

JULY

After the rainy month of June, the weather brightens up a bit in the highlands, treating visitors to hot and sunny days, however still with occasional afternoon storms. It's the perfect time to venture into the charming town of Antigua and enjoy Lake Atitlán. Guatemala experiences a surge of activity as tourists from North America and Europe flock to the country to make the most of their summer vacations. For those seeking a cultural experience, Cobán is the place to be during this month. The Fiesta Nacional Indígena takes center stage, featuring vibrant street fairs, lively parades, and spirited parties that showcase Guatemala's rich heritage.

AUGUST

August is not as rainy as July or September, but your afternoons will still enjoy some regular showers. The country is hot and humid but it's also green and beautiful, a good time to explore.

SEPTEMBER

September is the month during which the most rain falls in Guatemala. Most of this rain falls in the afternoon and the morning are bright and sunny. September is also hurricane season so keep an eye on the news. These tropical storms can interfere with your itinerary as roads can get flooded and infrastructure is affected. September is one of the cheapest and quietest months though, so if you are into soltitude, this is your best bet.

OCTOBER

As a close second to September, October is one of the wettest months. The hurricane season is still ongoing, while it marks the end of the rain season. You will still enjoy off-season prices and quiet cities. Especially Flores and the rest of Peten experience more rain than the cities in the south.

NOVEMBER

The rain season is at its end and the wildflowers are blooming throughout the country, making this one of the most beautiful months in Guatemala. In Santiago Sacatepéquez you can join the Giant Kites Festival (November 1) where it's rather busy, but the rest of the country is still quiet.

LEAVING PRODUCTS FOR SAINTS

The saint San Simon (Maximon) is known to grant favors to those who leave cigarettes and alcohol for him at his altar.

TRADITIONAL CLOTHING THAT INDICATES ORIGIN

In Guatemala you will notice that as you travel the traditional clothing changes in every town or area. Around Chichicastenango you will see crosses on the ladies' skirts, but in Panajachel you will see the pattern changes completely. This type of clothing is called traje.

HOLY WEEK PROCESSIONS

Easter is a very big deal in Guatemala, and especially in the city of Antigua. Book way in advance if you want to be here and do not walk over the flower carpets made by the locals. They are made for the processions.

MARIMBA MUSIC AND REGGAETON

The marimba is the national instrument and is heard throughout the country. It looks like a large xylophone but it's nestled in the Guatemalan traditions for centuries. The Guatemalan youth has shifted its interests to the more modern Reggeaton and you will notice this in bars and clubs.

DANCING ON GRAVES

On November 1st, locals go to the graves of their deceased loved ones and dance and party on top of the graves in honor of their love for their family.

MAYAN CALENDARS

In Guatemala the indigenous citizens still use the traditinoal Mayan calendar as it better follows their culture of understanding the world and its cycles and the customs they have applied to that. They do learn the Gregorian calendar to be able to interact with non indigenous people.

PHOTOGRAPHING (INDIGENOUS) LOCALS

It's considered very offensive to take a photo of a person without asking their permission first. It may be tempting to shoot candid photos, but if you choose to interact with the locals they are often very kind and want to participate in your shots after.

In Chichicastenango it is believed that if you take a photo of a person, their soul is caught and locked in your camera. Be very careful with your shots there.

In Guatemala, same-sex relationships are legally recognized; however, they are often frowned upon by locals. The presence of the LGBTIQ+ community in the country is relatively small and predominantly limited to major cities and areas frequented by tourists. We've met some couples who had no issues at all showing their affection in public, but they did always keep their surroundings in mind.

Guatemala experiences a prevalent culture of machismo, and because of that it is uncommon for local women in Guatemala to visit bars and cantinas unaccompanied. Even when women go out in pairs, they may still encounter instances of harassment. This is not a feeling shared by most solo female travelers, but be smart and follow the advice locals give you

NATIONAL DISH

There is no official national dish, but Pepián comes closest to it in many minds. It's a stew originating from the combination of Spanish and indigenous cultures using chicken and deep flavors. The dish is not spicy at all and is often served with rice and tortillas.

DRINKS

Chocolate and coffee are some of the most exported products and are ranked among the best in the world. The high altitude and moist soils of this volcanic country boast a wide range of coffee flavors going from sweet, chocolate undertones and caramel to acidic and bitter.

ANTIGUA

The city of Antigua Guatemala, also known as Antigua, was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1979. Antigua was the capital of Guatemala until it was destroyed by an earthquake in 1773. Today, it stands as a well-preserved colonial city with stunning architecture and a rich cultural heritage.

TIKAL NATIONAL PARK

Tikal National Park, located in the department of Petén, was declared a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1979. This vast archaeological site is one of the most impressive and well-known Mayan ruins in the world.

ARCHAEOLOGICAL PARK AND RUINS OF QUIRIGUA

The Archaeological Park and Ruins of Quirigua, located in the Izabal Department, became a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1981. Quirigua is renowned for its intricate stelae (stone monuments) that depict the rulers and gods of the Mayan civilization.

DO I NEED A VISA?

You don't need a Visa coming from most countries in Europe, from the United States, Canada, several South American countries and Asian countries. A full overview given by the Guatemalan government can be found here. If you have a layover in the USA, do look into ESTA requirements.

HOW LONG CAN I STAY?

The stamp you get on entry into Guatemala tells you you can stay 90 days. You can apply for an extension of 30 days, which costs around 190 QTZ. On top of that, you can exit the country to Belize, Mexico or Costa Rica and then enter again to get another 90 days. The countries El Salvador, Honduras and Nicaragua fall under the 90 days and do not count as exits.

1/3

Situated on an island on Lake Petén Itzá, the small town of Flores has a vibrant, relaxing and colorful atmosphere. Its narrow streets lead to charming colonial-style buildings painted in vibrant hues.

The town's central square, adorned with a charming white church, is a hub of activity and a perfect spot to soak in the lively ambiance. From the shores of Lake Petén Itzá, you can embark on boat tours to discover the captivating Mayan ruins of Tikal, one of the most significant archaeological sites in Central America. The dense surrounding jungle adds an air of mystery as you explore the towering pyramids and intricate temples that once thrived with ancient civilizations. Or consider the lesser known Yaxha or Nakun to have a quiet experience.

In the evenings, Flores comes alive with a vibrant nightlife, offering a variety of restaurants, bars, and street vendors serving up delicious local cuisine. The streets surrounding the town have been flooded by rising water levels, which means some parts are not accessible (by foot) anymore.

GETTING THERE

Getting to and from Flores is generally done by shared minivan shuttles. You can book these with Litegua, Guatego, your hostel, or any other company that is connected to INGUAT.

GETTING AROUND

Flores itself is so small that even when you have a hotel pickup for one of your treks, you will be picked up on foot. Tuktuks and cars drive through the town but you can walk everything in a few minutes. On top of that, lanchas (boats) can take you from place to place and can bring you to the neighbouring towns or to the famous "Jorge's Rope Swing".

NIGHT FOOD STALLS

The Las Mesitas are located along the road between the island and mainland. The most delicious street food is sold by vendors every night. Take a seat on the wall and dangle your feet while enjoying the local delights.

TIKAL

Once one of the most powerful civilizations in the world is now a very popular monumental sight. In the hearth of the jungle you can immerse yourself in both the cultural and biological atmosphere, going either on a sunrise, sunset, or day tour from Flores. It is also possible to stay inside the park at Jungle Lodge Tikal or at their hostel (which is located at the same place, and includes access to their swimming pool)

YAXHA

Yaxha ("jasch chah" = Green Water) is the lesser known Tikal, at about a 2 hour drive from Flores. A day trip here will give you a more secluded feeling as only about 30 people a day visit this park. There are a lot more animals here and you can enjoy a beautiful sunset.

Antigua

GETTING AROUND

In Antigua all the streets are made out of cobblestone and cars go about 15 kilometers an hour. You often have plenty of time to cross a road before they reach you. Throughout the city, you can take taxis or tuk tuks. Because of the roads, taking a taxi is not that fast and is rather expensive. The city is very small, so walking is a good option.

If you take a shuttle out of Antigua, they either pick you up at your hostel or at the big road next to hotel Soleil / the Texaco gas station.

GETTING THERE

CHRISTIANITY

The vast majority in Guatemala follows either Roman Catholic Christianity or Protestant Christianity, and the same counts for the city of Antigua.

The Catholic religion was made official during the colonial era but Guatemala has established freedom of religion in their constitution.

During Semana Santa and other religious holidays you will encounter relatively emotional citizens who experience their religion in a deep way. Like always, respect their culture & customs.

This charming city, filled with history and culture, is a hidden gem waiting to be explored. While it may not boast towering skyscrapers or bustling urban centers, Antigua's true beauty lies in its breathtaking natural landscapes and preserved colonial architecture. Surrounded by awe-inspiring volcanoes, such as Fuego, Acatenango, and Agua, the city offers a mesmerizing backdrop.

Cobblestone streets wind through the town, leading to picturesque squares adorned with vibrant colored houses and grand churches, showcasing the city's rich heritage. From the iconic Arch of Santa Catalina to the majestic ruins of the Convent of Santa Clara, remnants of Antigua's colonial past can be found at every turn. This UNESCO World Heritage site also boasts a thriving art scene, with local galleries showcasing the talent of Guatemalan artists. As you wander through the vibrant markets and artisan shops, you'll discover intricate textiles, handcrafted ceramics, and traditional Mayan weavings that reflect the region's indigenous heritage. Immerse yourself in the flavors of Antigua by indulging in the local cuisine, which combines Mayan traditions with Spanish influences. Sample traditional dishes like pepián, a rich meat stew, or delight in the sweetness of chuchitos, a type of Guatemalan tamale. For nature enthusiasts, the surrounding countryside offers a wealth of adventures, from hiking the slopes of active volcanoes to exploring coffee plantations nestled in the lush hills.

MAYAN

Min

to your destination

In Lanquin you will find yourself having more difficulties interacting with locals, as most of them speak in their native tongue. In their schools, the first language they learn is a version of Mayan, Spanish is their second, and English is their third language.

This specific language is also called Qʼeqchiʼ and is one of the 30 different versions spoken in Central America. The people of Lanquin belong to the native Cakchiquel ethnicity.

GETTING AROUND

Like in the rest of Guatemala, tuktuks are available to drive you from place to place. Lanquin lays across hills and that makes walking tough. Tours are done by jeep.

GETTING THERE

Lanquin is relatively difficult to reach from the bigger towns or cities as Antigua, Huehuetenango or Flores. From Coban it's only two hours by car though. Book a shuttle (with airco) to take you there as it is a very long day.

Min

to your destination

The best travel time for Lanquin and Chemuc Champey are the months of November through March/April.

In these months you will experience less rains and the river water is clear. This is however also the busiest period.

Sometimes , during the rainy season, the river that flows under the Semuc Champey pools overflows and brown muddy water streams over the pools, making it impossible to see them. The towns along the river also experience dangerous times.

Viñas Hotel

There are many hostels and beautiful places to stay where you can relax and enjoy the jungle surrounding you. These places can also arrange the tours to Semuc Champey & to the caves for you.

Very cool places with many backpackers are and

A lot of these places are owned by American and Dutch companies which means less money goes into the already poor village. They are great to stay at, but if you are into more sustainable and local-supportive travel I would advice you to consider for example or at

El Retiro

Lanquin

Lanquin is a charming town in Guatemala, surrounded by beautiful mountains and valleys. Reaching Lanquin can be an adventurous journey in itself, as the town's remote location makes it a lesser visited place. While the road to Lanquin may be challenging, the effort is well worth it. The winding paths leading to this hidden gem take you through breathtaking landscapes, passing by dense forests, and crossing rivers along the way. Once you arrive in Lanquin, the sense of seclusion and tranquility envelops you, offering a true escape from the bustling outside world.You'll find beautiful hostels that allow you to calm down after the long trip there.

From there, you can visit Semuc Champey, a breathtaking sight tucked away in the jungle. It features turquoise pools cascading over stone terraces, creating a paradise-like setting. Spend your days swimming, hiking, and exploring the caves with their mesmerizing rock formations. Back in Lanquin, enjoy delicious Guatemalan food and immerse yourself in the local culture by joining dance performances and celebrations. Lanquin and Semuc Champey offer an unforgettable experience, combining adventure, natural beauty, and a taste of Guatemala's vibrant spirit.
