Travel to Guatemala
Guatemala is arguably one of Latin America’s highlights; a captivating country with a fascinating history and a variety of cultural and natural attractions.
Its array of magical Mayan ruins and temples, (the best you will see in Central America) resemble something straight out of a story book, as do the bustling market towns and villages surrounded by tall volcanic peaks.
Whilst criminal activity is a problem in some parts of Guatemala, namely the urban sprawl of Guatemala City, it is a much safer place to travel than it used to be and tourists now enjoy the freedom to go where they want with ease.
Guatemala really is an exciting, educational and often magical choice of travel destination.
Best Time to Visit
There is no bad time to visit Guatemala, however, March and April are the hottest and driest months and May and June are rainy with the accompanying mozzies! The Pacific coast is hot year round, with temperatures reaching a stifling 38°C. The height of the foreign tourist season is from Christmas to Easter.
