Guatemala Travel Guide

Planning a trip to Guatemala?

‍We spent a month travelling around this incredible country and put together a 16-page travel guide packed with all our best tips, tricks, and recommendations.

Whether you’re hiking volcanoes, exploring ancient ruins, or soaking up the vibrant culture in colourful towns, we’ve got you covered. Inside, you’ll find everything from a quick itinerary to get you started, to the best tours, must-see spots, and hidden gems we don’t think you should miss.

Getting around Guatemala isn’t always straightforward, so we’ve broken down the different transport options and included handy links to book in advance. Plus, there’s a practical packing list to help you avoid overpacking (and save you from hauling unnecessary stuff on those bumpy shuttle rides).

You’ll also find links to accommodations, our favourite restaurants and bars, and maps for every location—so you won’t waste time endlessly Googling while you’re on the road. We’ve even added a list of Guatemalan dishes you have to try, so you can dive straight into the local food scene.

It’s all in one place, with space to jot down your own notes too. We hope you love it!
