The best time to visit Guatemala tends to be the dry season, which runs from November to April. The weather is warm all year round in Guatemala, but the temperature does tend to drop at night, so whenever you travel, it is important to bring an extra layer with you!

We'd recommend tipping around 10% of the bill at restaurants and bars when you have had great service. This isn't essential but it is a nice gesture. Your guide will be able to advise you more on tipping customs when you are exploring the country.

ATMs are usually easy to find in cities and towns across Guatemala. We would recommend bringing cash with you incase you cannot access an ATM in more rural areas.

Your Tru Leader will be able to help you with finding the best atms with the lowest charges.

Tap water is not always safe to drink in Guatemala, so we'd recommend sticking to bottled or filtered water.
