About Guatemala

Guatemala is a Central American country of around 18 million people, bordered by Mexico, Belize, Honduras, and El Salvador, with Guatemala City as its capital. Spanish is the official language, though more than 20 Mayan languages are spoken across the country's large indigenous population — roughly 40% identify as Maya — and the currency is the quetzal.

The country is the heart of the ancient Maya world: around 3,000 Mayan structures still rise from the Peten rainforest at Tikal, one of the largest and most complete Maya sites anywhere. Elsewhere, the colonial city of Antigua sits ringed by three volcanoes, cobblestone streets and Spanish Baroque churches intact since the 16th century; Lake Atitlan's Tzutuhil and Kaqchikel villages carry on Maya weaving and ceremonial traditions around a volcano-ringed crater lake; and active volcanoes like Pacaya and Fuego draw hikers close enough to watch eruptions after dark from Acatenango's slopes.

One Voyzo route makes a single overnight crossing into Honduras to visit the Copan ruins — that itinerary discloses the night spent across the border, with a confirmed hotel wherever the group is actually staying. Every other Voyzo Guatemala route stays entirely within the country, run with a private driver and vehicle for the full trip.

1 Tikal National Park Tikal National Park Guatemala A UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the largest excavated cities of the ancient Maya, with roughly 3,000 structures — including the 65-meter Temple of the Great Jaguar — rising from the Peten rainforest, home to spider monkeys, toucans, and howler monkeys. 2 Antigua Guatemala Antigua Guatemala Guatemala The colonial former capital of Central America, a UNESCO World Heritage Site of cobblestone streets, more than 30 monasteries and convents, and a grand cathedral, ringed by the Fuego, Agua, and Acatenango volcanoes. 3 Lake Atitlan Lake Atitlan Guatemala A volcanic crater lake ringed by three volcanoes at 1,600 meters above sea level, bordered by small Tzutuhil and Kaqchikel Mayan villages often reachable only by boat, including Santiago Atitlan and the weaving town of San Juan La Laguna. 4 Chichicastenango Market Chichicastenango Market Guatemala One of Latin America's largest indigenous markets, held twice weekly as Kaqchikel and K'iche' traders descend from surrounding villages to sell textiles, produce, and crafts, while shamans purify the church steps with incense in ongoing Mayan ritual. 5 Semuc Champey Semuc Champey Guatemala A series of turquoise limestone pools and small waterfalls formed atop a natural 500-meter land bridge over the Cahabon River in the jungle highlands of Alta Verapaz, with the flooded Kan-Ba caves nearby explored by candlelight. 6 Pacaya Volcano Pacaya Volcano Guatemala An active volcano near Antigua and one of Guatemala's most-visited, where a hiking trail leads across recent lava fields, sometimes close enough to roast marshmallows over residual heat. 7 Acatenango Volcano Acatenango Volcano Guatemala A 3,976-meter volcano near Antigua, climbed overnight by trekkers who camp partway up for the view of neighboring Fuego volcano erupting after dark. 8 Yaxha Archaeological Site Yaxha Archaeological Site Guatemala A Maya ceremonial center in the Peten jungle near Tikal, with over 500 structures around a lake, far quieter than its famous neighbor and known for sunset views from its tallest temple. 9 Rio Dulce Rio Dulce Guatemala A jungle-lined river connecting Lake Izabal to the Caribbean coast at Livingston, navigated by boat past the Castillo de San Felipe fortress and hot springs along its banks.

Plan Your Visit

Know Before You Go — Guatemala

Best Time to Visit

November through April, the dry season, brings the most reliable weather across the highlands, the Peten jungle, and the Caribbean coast. May through October is rainy season, with regular afternoon downpours.

Getting Around

Antigua, Lake Atitlan, and the highlands connect by road. Reaching Tikal and the Peten region in the north typically involves a domestic flight from Guatemala City or Antigua to Flores, since the overland drive is long.

Weather & What to Pack

The highlands around Antigua and Lake Atitlan stay mild and spring-like year-round thanks to elevation, while the Peten jungle and Caribbean coast run hot and humid — pack layers if your trip combines both.

Money & Tipping

Guatemala uses the quetzal (GTQ), though US dollars are widely accepted in tourist areas. Tipping around 10% at restaurants and for guides is customary and appreciated.

Local Tips

Acatenango's overnight volcano hike to watch Fuego erupt is genuinely strenuous, at high altitude and often cold overnight — it's worth being realistic about fitness level before booking it as part of a trip.

Safety

Guatemala City and some rural areas warrant normal travel caution, but the main tourist circuit — Antigua, Lake Atitlan, Tikal — is well-established and, on a private tour with a driver, straightforward to navigate safely.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions About Guatemala

A focused Antigua-and-Lake-Atitlan trip works in 5 days; adding Tikal and the Peten pushes most itineraries to 8–10 days, and a full circuit including the Alta Verapaz highlands or the Caribbean coast runs 12–13 days.
Ancient Maya ruins, above all Tikal, alongside the colonial architecture of Antigua, the volcano-ringed Lake Atitlan, and a living indigenous Maya culture that's still central to daily life in the highlands.
For travelers who want an active, physically demanding experience, yes — watching Fuego erupt from a campsite after dark is a genuinely rare thing to see. It's not for everyone, though, given the altitude and overnight cold.
Most itineraries fly from Guatemala City or Antigua to Flores, the gateway town near Tikal, rather than making the long overland drive.
Yes — one Voyzo route makes a single overnight crossing to see the Copan ruins in Honduras before returning to Guatemala, with the border crossing and hotel fully disclosed in the itinerary.
The established tourist circuit (Antigua, Lake Atitlan, Tikal) is well-traveled and generally safe, and a private driver removes much of the uncertainty around getting between towns, though normal travel precautions still apply as they would anywhere.
