GUATEMALA TRAVEL ADVICE

THE BEST TIME TO VISIT

The dry season (November-April) is the best time to explore with clear skies and the ideal weather for visiting Lake Atitlán, Antigua, and Tikal. The wet season (May-October) brings afternoon rain but keeps everything green and lush.

TRANSPORT

Chicken buses (old US school buses given a Guatemalan makeover — colourful, chaotic, and totally brilliant) are the local way to travel and are super cheap. On our tours, all transport is arranged for you so you won't have to worry about getting around!

CUISINE & FOOD

Guatemalan food is simple, flavourful, and deeply tied to Maya traditions. Black beans and tortillas are a staple at every meal. Fresh fruit everywhere and Guatemalan coffee is some of the best in the world!

VISA ENTRY REQUIREMENTS

Many nationalities can enter Guatemala visa-free for up to 90 days. However, requirements vary by passport, so always check with your government's official travel website before you travel.
