Whether you're planning a summer getaway, a Thanksgiving escape, or something spontaneous this fall, this is a great time to explore one of Central America's most scenic and culturally rich countries.

🏞️ Why Visit Guatemala?

• Antigua: Just a short drive from Guatemala City, this UNESCO-listed colonial town is surrounded by volcanoes and overflowing with charm, cobblestone streets, and culture.

• Lake Atitlán: Often called one of the most beautiful lakes in the world, it’s ringed with artisan villages and perfect for a relaxed, adventurous escape.

• Volcano Hikes: Want bragging rights? Hike Pacaya or challenge yourself with Acatenango for a once-in-a-lifetime sunrise above the clouds.

• Local Culture: Markets like Chichicastenango offer handmade textiles, pottery, and authentic immersion.

• Coffee Country: Guatemala’s volcanic soil produces some of the finest beans in the world—tour the farms, sip fresh roasts, and learn the stories behind the brew.

🌦️ What’s the Weather Like?

• May–August:
  This is Guatemala’s “green season,” when afternoon rains are common—but mornings are often clear and perfect for exploring. Temperatures in the highlands (Antigua, Atitlán) are mid-70s°F (24°C) during the day and cool at night, with lush landscapes at their peak.
  👉 Ideal for summer travelers looking for rich color, fewer crowds, and lower lodging prices.

• September–March:
  Dryer and sunnier, especially from late October through February. Milder temps and crystal-clear skies make it a great time for hiking, photography, and city walks. This is high season for good reason.

🧳 Plan Your Escape

From colorful markets and historic towns to volcanic hikes and jungle adventures, Guatemala is one of the best-kept travel secrets in the Americas. With fares this low and travel dates that cover summer, fall, and winter, it’s a great time to start planning.

What to Know Before You Go

We know Guatemala might feel like a more adventurous destination—and honestly, it is. But for many travelers, that’s exactly the point. It’s one of the most visually stunning, culturally rich countries in the Americas—and it rewards visitors who are open to a different rhythm of travel.

If you’re not sure whether this kind of trip is for you, here are a few simple ways to feel more confident and in control while planning:

• Start with the popular hubs. Places like Antigua and Lake Atitlán are extremely popular with travelers from around the world. They're easy to reach, full of great accommodations, and well set up for English-speaking visitors.

• Stay with trusted hosts. Whether you're booking a boutique hotel or Airbnb, we recommend sticking with Superhosts or properties with 100+ reviews. Guatemala has some truly beautiful places to stay, and a good host makes a huge difference.

• Use arranged transportation. Many travelers opt to have their hotel or Airbnb coordinate airport pickups and inter-city shuttles. It's affordable, reliable, and avoids the stress of navigating on arrival.

• Join small group tours. Whether you’re hiking a volcano, visiting markets, or exploring Mayan ruins, local tour operators can simplify your experience and add great insight along the way.

👉 If you’ve been to places like Mexico, Peru, or Costa Rica, Guatemala won’t feel far off. It just takes a bit more prep—and in return, you get unforgettable views, new friendships, and a travel story worth telling.
