"This was our 8th Caravan tour, so that should speak to how we feel about Caravan Tours. We recommend it to all our friends. Without a doubt the sightseeing was absolutely beautiful. Mountains, volcanoes, and lakes made for wonderful pictures. Highly enjoyed visiting museums and Mayan ruins. Memory of a lifetime. Outstanding meals, everything was a treat and we could not be more pleased. Thank you so much for every safe and enjoyable voyage." Mr. & Mrs. C.E., Clarksville, Georgia

"The ruins, sights and tours were wonderful, but it is the Guatemalan people I remember best. I think I left a little piece of my heart in Guatemala." Ms. P.F., Oceanside, California

"This was a trip of a lifetime. The overwhelming beauty of Lake Atitlan. Everywhere we went, we were amazed. I give our tour director six stars or even seven. Her knowledge and passion about her country, her energy, her care for us, her sense of humor and storytelling ability was all outstanding. She really made the trip for us. The driver and the local guides were also excellent. We had a good-sized group with a wide range of age and experience. The food was wonderful, the hotels were nice. Caravan is a class act and this is a wonderful tour." Mr. H.E., Arlington, Virginia

"I travel a great deal and have lived overseas. This was my first organized group tour and it exceeded ALL expectations." Ms. P.D., Chicago, Illinois

"Overall a very positive and priceless experience with lingering pleasant memories. The hotels can best be described as exceptional. Each presented with a different theme of splendor. The investment in their guests was outstanding with special attention to guests of all ages. All hotel employees were guest-oriented with untiring attention. The meals were a gourmet delight of local cuisines intertwined with conventional recipes. Our activities were well-organized with the traveler’s interest of paramount importance. Our driver can best be remembered as a remarkable individual who developed great admiration and respect from every traveler. He was energetic, industrious, and dedicated to ensuring the safety and comfort of his passengers. And what a magnificent tour director we had. His broad range of knowledge and interest, as related to the Mayan history and country of Guatemala, was presented with intellectual enthusiasm. A gifted guide with a wide range of stellar interests. This writer remains a Caravan supporter for life." Mr. K.R., Washington, D.C.

"As a first timer with Caravan, I won’t hesitate to recommend that others experience what you offer. Enjoyed everything we saw and experienced. Hotels were excellent, locations were great. I have done quite a lot of travel and tours. Ours was the best director I’ve experienced. An extraordinary communicator, her passion for her country and knowledge is exceptional. She is also very relatable. I will look forward to future travel with you." Mrs. E.D., Federal, Washington

"Premier first class hotels. We saw so many wonderful things, dances, museums, boat cruises, ceramics, weavings, festivities. Very knowledgeable director, excellent in current affairs, history, the culture - and appropriately shared it with us. Very good at figuring the logistics and keeping us moving without a hitch. Thank you Caravan, excellent value for money and very fun." Mr. & Mrs. H.H., Colorado Springs, Colorado

7D/6N Gorgeous Guatemala Tour

Great tour for those who don’t want the hassle of arranging accommodations and transportation but wanting a little more independence and time to explore on your own. The night of the Mayan homestay my driver didn’t know where to drop me off and missed the town so I had to take public transport back up the hill to the town (it was an adventure). Otherwise everything was very smooth. Excellent tour!

Lake Atitlan & Chichicastenango Market 3D/2N

Things that were great: The shuttle pick-ups were reliable and close to on-time. The places the tour took me were exactly where I wanted to go. The price was right. Things that were not great: The Kakchiquel hotel in Panajachel didn't have hot water and was not very clean (felt like a flophouse). The shuttle from Panajachel to Antigua stopped 30 minutes into the 2 hour ride because the driver got a phone call saying there were more passengers for him to take. We idled on the side of the road for 30 minutes waiting for these late passengers to be driven to where we were waiting. That was weird, and it delayed the whole bus load getting to Antigua.

Best of Guatemala 8 Days Tour

We had an excellent experience seeing Ecuador on the 8 day tour. This tour was a great immersion in the lesser visited cities and communities of the Ecuadorian Andes mountains. The trip was well organized and paced for our comfort and full of culturally meaningful experiences. We felt that our safety and interests were always the top priority. Our guide, Josue, was very experienced, friendly and spoke excellent English. We especially enjoyed Intinan, Cotopaxi, Chimborazo, Ingapirca, Pumapungo museum. Banos and Cuenca were our favorite cities: beautiful and walkable. We loved trying all the new foods, and I appreciated Josue's help with my Spanish.

Coban & Semuc Champey Tour 3-day

I loved Semuc Champey! It was absolutely gorgeous. The Quetzal forest in Coban was okay. It was a pretty hike, but it was a LOT of time traveling in the car for just a couple of hours walking in the forest. It would probably be better to go in the season when there are Quetzal birds there, which I didn't know they were only there during a couple of months of the year. The caves were also pretty cool. I would have liked to fit in more activities though and had more options, such as kayaking, tubing and ziplining. One day all we did was have a really long drive and I got to see a cave for about an hour. It would have been great to have a few more activities.

Guatemala to Measure

Mayan Sun Southbound: Boat Rides & Ruins

Itinerary was good, with appropriate stay time at each destination. Chris was an amazing guide who managed the group well. Homestay experience was average, would recommend changing for a lunch only, with more time at Panajachel or Casa del Mundo. Very basic accommodation at San Ignacio - uncomfortable beds.

What people love about Guatemala Tours

I was not expecting the rooms to be so hot and noisy; other than that it was good. I did have my own bathroom; it was a hostel still, I’ll use marvelous and Tourradar again It was a great introduction to Guatemala Thank you

Without a doubt, the best travel agency to get to know Guatemala and its surroundings. Our experience hiring them from Spain has been incredible. His efficiency and professionalism has exceeded our best expectations. My recommendation for anyone who wants to know the area.

Well organized with a fantastic and well informed guide, met all our expectations.

Guatemala Tours & Vacations

Bienvenidos! Welcome to Guatemala – a land of ancient civilizations, steamy jungles and laidback locals.

This coffee-growing, lava-flowing, jungle-clad landscape definitely doesn't hold back when it comes to color – think retro chicken buses cruising down the highway, pastel-painted buildings lining the cobbled streets of historic Antigua and vibrant wares on sale at market stalls in Chichicastenango. And whether you're cruising down the Rio Dulce to Garifuna-influenced Livingston, strolling around the quaint island of Flores in Lago Peten Itza, or trekking to the Maya ruins of Tikal, your Guatemalan adventure will unlock all but one of its highland secrets – how this  Central American  beauty is still largely undiscovered will continue to remain a mystery.

Culture and customs.

Guatemalan culture is a vibrant mix of  Spanish ,  European  and Maya customs and languages. Although most of the population is Catholic, many indigenous communities still have links to ancient Maya rituals and practice these alongside their Christian faith.

Indigenous customs, dress, language and cuisine still persist, especially in villages where you commonly see people dressed in colorful traditional clothing, celebrating various age-old festivals and producing local handicrafts to sell at village markets. Traditional dress is highly regarded, and different villages have their own patterns and designs to set themselves apart.

People living in the cities range from business owners to culturally savvy university students to modest street cart operators. Rural life also varies; many people in villages rely on subsistence farming or handicraft-making and typically have less access to electricity, plumbing, health care and formal education than their urban counterparts. Outside the main cities, many live a very humble life, but despite this, Guatemalans maintain a positive outlook, focusing on family and religion.

History and government

The maya times.

Before the Spanish colonized this part of the world, hunter-gatherers lived on the land for thousands of years. Olmecs were in the region from 1500 BC, and in the following centuries, Maya civilizations came to dominate, and sites like Peten, Tikal, Cival and El Mirador were established.

Maya city-states dominated the region, some with massive temples and upwards of 100,000 inhabitants. But in the eighth and ninth centuries, conflicts and droughts forced the Maya to abandon their settlements and move north into Mexico.

Spanish colonization

Many believe the Maya had already moved on or were defeated during Spanish colonization in the 1520s. In 1542, after a capital city was destroyed by earthquake and flooding, Antigua was established, and Spanish settlers pushed some of Guatemala's indigenous population into forced labor. Antigua-based Dominican friar Bartolome de Las Casas convinced higher powers in Spain to end the system, and over the following years, the practice died out.

19th and 20th century

Guatemala declared independence from  Spain  in 1821 and became part of the fledgling First Mexican Empire. Like many of its Central American neighbours, Guatemala grappled with unstable governance, experiencing dictatorships, insurgencies, coups and civil wars.

The Guatemalan Civil War stretched out over more than thirty years of turbulent times between 1960 and 1996. A peace process was underway by the late 1980s, but it took many years to restore democratic rule and peace to the country.

More recently, Guatemala's economy has improved, mainly due to the strength of the local agriculture and tourism industries. Despite a rocky past and many ongoing social and economic issues, Guatemala continues to rebound from its challenges to modernise its industry.

Eating and drinking

Touted as the birthplace of chocolate, Guatemala obviously knows a thing or two about flavor. The food here is among the best in  Central America , so hit the markets for some street snacks or a restaurant for a more formal and wholesome meal.

Must-try dishes and drinks in Guatemala

• Elotes The simplicity of this dish is what wins travelers over. Take a fresh ear of corn, roast it on a barbecue, add cheese, lime, butter and chili, and serve it on a stick. Cheap and easy – you really can't go wrong.
• Chiles rellenos Chiles rellenos are another popular street food snack – peppers stuffed with pork and vegetables, then lightly battered and fried.
• Tamales This is one of the most popular comfort foods in Guatemala and a staple in a lot of Central American cuisines. Tamales are a corn-dough-based dish, boiled or steamed and served wrapped in a plantain leaf. Typical fillings include chicken, pork, cheese and vegetables, as well as sweet dessert fillings like fruit or almonds.
• Pepian Probably the most representative Guatemalan dish, pepian is a spiced and slightly bitter stew, with pumpkin seeds, tomatoes and guisquil, a type of squash. Try a chicken, pork or beef one, or mix and match your meats!
• Kak’ik What's a cuisine without a signature soup? Kak'ik is a sweet and sour broth made with turkey and often served when christening a new home in Guatemala. Be sure to ramp up the spice with some chilli paste, usually served on the side.
• Spiced mango Most cities and markets in Guatemala will have street carts selling mango spiced with chili and lime. The blend of sweet and bitter flavors with a hint of spice is a perfect pick-me-up during your day of exploring.
• Limonada con soda You think you've tried lemonade? Well, the Guatemalans take it next level. This zesty soft drink is made with real lemons and is the perfect refreshment on a hot and humid day of touring lanes and markets.

Geography and environment

Guatemala shares borders with  Belize ,  Mexico ,  Honduras  and  El Salvador , and is predominately mountainous terrain except for pockets of land on the south coast and northern lowlands. With large areas of rainforest, cloud forest, woodlands and mangroves providing a habitat for a huge range of birds, mammals, reptiles and insects, Guatemala one of the most bio-diverse countries in the world.

The fertile valleys provide perfect conditions for growing coffee and other crops, but farming can be difficult with volcanic eruptions and frequent floods and landslides. Despite the challenges, many Guatemalans live rurally, and visitors will be able to see many small villages and towns dotted throughout the country and larger cities with more developed infrastructure.

The varied environments and climates provide the perfect conditions for an array of wildlife, especially of the flying kind. Be sure to keep a keen eye out for some of Guatemala's famed birdlife on your travels.

Birds to spot in Guatemala

• Keel-billed toucan This tropical feathered icon is known and loved all over Central America. Often found in pairs or groups, keel-billed toucans use their huge beaks to chomp on fruit and nuts. Abundant populations make them easy to find in the rainforests and jungles of Guatemala.
• Guatemalan screech owl In Guatemala, owls represent luck, so you're bound to see plenty of owl trinkets, statues and jewelry in the shops and markets along the way. Hopefully, you'll also get to see a Guatemalan screech owl hiding in woodlands and forests. Listen for its faint but distinct call – its 'oos' get higher and higher in pitch until they abruptly break off.
• Resplendent quetzal Guatemala's national bird is a colorful mix of emerald green, scarlet red and white. The males feature a very long tail, which makes launching into flight difficult, so they often jump backward first – like a parachutist!
• Wine-throated hummingbird These tiny birds nestle in the cloud forests of highland Guatemala. Despite their size, they're not impossible to locate – just look for their green head and a stunning magenta throat that shimmers like a mini scarf.
• Ringed kingfisher These noisy birds – named after their wide, white collars – can be found near large bodies of water looking for their favorite food, fish, although they will also eat reptiles, insects and berries. You won't have many problems spotting this species as they are found in great numbers throughout Central and South America.
• Blue-crowned motmot This striking, multi-coloured bird has a green and yellow body with a turquoise-fringed face and deep-set red eyes. Motmots love humid conditions, so they can be found in forests, plantations and gardens throughout tropical Guatemala.

The most interesting shopping experiences in Guatemala happen at the many markets you can visit in villages and cities. Have fun, and don't forget to haggle for a good price! It's also a good idea to check with your local customs officials to ensure that you are able to bring certain items back into your home country. Countries like Australia and New Zealand generally have strict quarantine laws.

Things to buy in Guatemala

• Traditional handicrafts Colorful blankets, shawls, scarves and clothing, wooden carvings, woven baskets and handmade ceramics all make great souvenir options. Guatemalan goods come in a rainbow of colors and won't break the bank!
• Art Guatemalan paintings are typically colorful and uplifting. The galleries and markets of Antigua are among the best spots to pick up unique art, from traditional paintings to folk art and contemporary pieces by emerging local artists.
• Coffee Guatemala produces and exports some of the best coffee in the world, with its range of growing environments producing unique variations in flavor – from the complex, fruity notes of beans grown at high altitudes to the nutty, chocolatey products of volcanic soil. Coffee lovers should stock up here where the quality and price are exceptional, plus enjoy (at least) one local brew daily.
• Chocolate Guatemala also creates some of the finest chocolate in the world. Head to a chocolate shop and choose from bitter dark chocolate, spicy chili and cinnamon chocolate, or perhaps pick up some rich hot chocolate mix to take home.

Festivals and events

Semana santa.

Guatemalans take their Holy Week traditions seriously. Occurring the week leading up to Easter, celebrations of Maya and Christian traditions take place, including many processions of swathes of dyed sawdust made into colorful rugs. Most of the main Easter celebrations occur in and around Antigua and are some of Guatemala's busiest and most popular events.

Festival Folklorico de Coban

The Coban Folkloric Festival takes place in the last week of July, with parades, rodeos, art exhibitions and more. The main event is the Rabin Ajau, or 'daughter of the king' pageant, where girls from across the country don traditional dress and vie for the crown of Maya princess, a title bestowed to the contestant judged not just the most beautiful but, more importantly, the most representative of Maya values and traditions.

Dia de los Muertos

This well-known holiday that honors the dead is celebrated all over Central America. Guatemalans usually fly massive kites, visit the graves of ancestors and eat fiambre – a giant mixed salad of meat, cheese, olives, egg, corn and onion. Colorful altars decorated with flowers and skulls can also be found in homes, shops and streets during the Day of the Dead.

Fiesta de Santo Tomas

The highland town of Chichicastenango is home to one of the best outdoor markets in Central America, and also this extraordinary annual festival. Combining Catholic and Maya traditions, expect to see lively displays of fireworks, pageantry and a mash-up of dance and bungee jumping called palo volador (flying pole) – where two men scale a wooden pole, tie ropes around their waist, then leap off, spinning to the ground.

Guatemala travel FAQs

Do i need a covid-19 vaccine to join an intrepid trip.

Trips from 1 January 2023 onwards

From 1 January 2023, Intrepid will no longer require travelers to provide proof of vaccination against COVID-19 (excluding all Polar trips and select adventure cruises).

However, we continue to strongly recommend that all Intrepid travelers and leaders get vaccinated to protect themselves and others.

Specific proof of testing or vaccination may still be required by your destination or airline. Please ensure you check travel and entry requirements carefully.

When is the best time to visit Guatemala?

Just like much of  Central America , Guatemala has a wet and dry season, with a pretty consistent temperature throughout the year. July–August and December–January are the peak seasons for traveling, which coincide with US and European summer holidays and winter breaks. However, visiting outside these times may mean that you not only escape the crowds, but you'll also be able to fit in a couple of popular Guatemalan festivals.

The dry season is from November to March, which is generally considered the best time to visit as the weather is warm and sunny. However, this is also the busiest tourist time so expect more people about, especially around Christmas and Easter and in the main cities.

Do I need a visa to travel to Guatemala?

Citizens of over 86 countries, including Australia, New Zealand, the UK, the US and Canada, can visit Guatemala for up to 90 days without a visa. If you’re unsure if you need one or not, check your tour’s Essential Trip Information or enquire at a Guatemalan embassy well in advance of your travel date.

Is tipping customary in Guatemala?

It's customary to add an extra 10% to restaurant bills – if this hasn’t already been included. Tipping elsewhere is optional, but leaving spare change or rounding up your bill at small cafes is always a good idea as most Guatemalans live on a very limited income.

What is the internet access like in Guatemala?

Wi-fi is becoming more and more prevalent in Guatemala’s cities, although the connection may be slower than you’re used to. Remote areas will have little to no internet access, so be aware if you’re traveling outside of the main tourist hotspots that you may have trouble getting online. The fast food chain Pollo Campero usually has wi-fi networks available, and they’re located in most larger towns.

Can I use my cell phone while in Guatemala?

Using your cell phone while in the cities of Guatemala shouldn’t be a problem. Coverage may be less reliable in remote and mountainous areas.

Note that global roaming is especially pricey in Guatemala, so if you want to stay connected on the go, it’s probably best to get a local SIM card. Service providers Tigo and Claro have the best coverage across the country.

What are the toilets like in Guatemala?

Many tourist sites and restaurants have flushable toilets, although some remote areas may have compostable or drop toilets. It’s a good idea to carry your own toilet paper and hand soap or hand sanitizer, as these aren’t always provided.

What will it cost for a…?

Spain's unit of currency is the quetzal (GTQ). Here's what you can expect to pay for a:

• Cup of coffee at a cafe = GTQ 12
• A bottle of beer = GTQ 15-20
• Basic meal = GTQ 40-50
• Dinner at a midrange restaurant = GTQ 80-120

Can I drink the tap water in Guatemala?

Drinking tap water isn't recommended in Guatemala. For environmental reasons, try to avoid buying bottled water. Fill a reusable water bottle or canteen with filtered water – be sure to ask your group leader where filtered water can be found. It's also advisable to avoid ice in drinks and peel fruit and vegetables before eating.

Are credit cards widely accepted in Guatemala?

Credit cards can be used at most large restaurants, shops and other tourist hotspots. Expect to pay cash when dealing with smaller vendors, family-run restaurants and market stalls. Make sure you have smaller denominations of currency with you when you’re purchasing at local vendors to make transactions simpler and easier.

What is ATM access like in Guatemala?

Internationally compatible ATMs can be found in most of Guatemala’s major cities. ATMs are far less common in rural areas and small villages so make sure you have cash on hand to cover purchases when traveling away from the larger cities.

What is the weather like in Guatemala?

Temperatures across Guatemala sit, on average, at a comfortable 22°C nearly year-round, and don’t differ too much in terms of season, but vary with the altitude.

In the wetter season, running from April until around September, rainfall is much more abundant; however, it would only disrupt your outdoor plans in the afternoon. The central region has mostly clear skies during the day with a downpour in the mid to late afternoon.

In the shoulder season (September–October), rains begin to ease up, but October is peak hurricane season. Mild temperatures and clear days make this a good time to travel and hike in the highlands.

The dry season from November through to April sees average temperatures drop slightly in the hilly central region – Antigua, Lake Atitlan, Chichicastenango, Coban and surrounds – to around 18°C.

Do I need to purchase travel insurance before traveling?

Absolutely. All passengers traveling with Intrepid are required to purchase travel insurance before the start of their trip. Your travel insurance details will be recorded by your leader on the first day of the trip. Due to the varying nature, availability and cost of health care around the world, travel insurance is very much an essential and necessary part of every journey.

Is Guatemala safe for LGBTQIA+ travelers?

As with many Latin American countries, Guatemala is not particularly gay-friendly, despite homosexual activity being legal over the age of consent. Many Guatemalans hold quite conservative Christian views, especially in remote or rural areas.

Same-sex couples and households are not eligible for the same legal protections as opposite-sex married couples, and while discrimination protections are in place in some contexts, discrimination against gender identity is not mentioned explicitly in law.

LGBTQIA+ identifying travelers are unlikely to encounter violence, outright hostility or overt discrimination in Guatemala, but it is advised to be mindful of the situation travelers find themselves in.

For more detailed and up-to-date advice, we recommend visiting Equaldex or ILGA before you travel.

If you are traveling solo on an Intrepid group tour, you will share accommodation with a passenger of the same gender as per your passport information. If you don’t identify with the gender assigned on your passport, please let us know at the time of booking and we’ll arrange the rooming configuration accordingly. A single supplement is available on some tours for travelers who do not wish to share a room.

Is Guatemala accessible for travelers with disabilities?

Intrepid is committed to making travel widely accessible, regardless of ability or disability. That’s why we do our best to help as many people see the world as possible, regardless of any physical or mental limitations they might have. We’re always happy to talk to travelers with disabilities and see if we can help guide them towards the most suitable itinerary for their needs and where possible, make reasonable adjustments to our itineraries.

Much of Guatemala’s hotspots are based around the coast and nature, so depending on travelers’ level of mobility, they can prove difficult to access. Many national parks are inaccessible for travelers using a wheelchair, as jungle paths are mostly remote and not stable. Antigua is also a bit tricky to get around, with rugged sidewalks and a lack of ramps. Transportation is an important factor also, and with not much space at all on public transport, private rental or tour-based travel may be the only option.

If you do live with a visual, hearing or another impairment, let your booking agent or group leader know early on so they’re aware and suitable arrangements can be made. What will assist you may depend on what country you are visiting, but as a general rule, knowing some of the local lingo, carrying a written itinerary with you and taking to the streets as a group, rather than solo, can help make your travel experience the best it can be.

If you have a disability and are planning to travel with Intrepid, we recommend speaking with your booking agent about specific concerns that pertain to accessibility.

The Spring Loudoun County Farm Tour is May 18 and May 19. This year there will be free shuttle buses to take you to 30-plus Virginia farms opening to the public.

The Loudoun County Department of Economic Development, which organizes the yearly fall and spring farm tours said it got great feedback after piloting a “hop on hop off” shuttle bus during last fall’s tour on a much smaller scale.

The 20-passenger “hop on hop off” shuttle buses will pick up passengers at the Ashburn Metro station throughout the day and operate on a constant loop between the towns of Leesburg, Lovettsville and Hillsboro.

“From each of the towns, you’ll be able to pick up a smaller van and go on a guided tour of anywhere from three to four farm stops, without ever having to drive your car or having to navigate,” said Colleen Kardasz, assistant director at the Loudoun County Department of Economic Development.

Shuttle buses will be on a constant loop between farms from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. both Saturday and Sunday.

Farms that open to visitors are diverse, from llamas and alpacas, to those that produce honey, mushrooms and protein, as well as produce growers.

“You can go to two different garlic farms on the spring farm tour. You could go to Green Hills Nursery and learn about the tea that they are growing, and buy some green tea grown in Loudoun County. Brookfield Dairy Farm is on the tour, and they are one of the last remaining dairy farms in Loudoun. You can see their practices and also purchase some ice cream made with their dairy,” Kardasz said.

Buddy Rizer, executive director of Loudoun Economic Development, said the tour “serves as a testament to the incredible diversity of farms that call Loudoun County home.”

“Each farm offers a unique experience, reflecting the ingenuity, passion and dedication of our local farmers,” Rizer said.

Many farms will also have educational components on agricultural practices and sustainability initiatives.

Attendance for the farm tours is tough to gauge, since many farms don’t count visitors, but during the fall tour, one farm said it had 2,000 visitors, with most of the other farms recording between 200 and 500 visitors.
