Frequently asked questions about hotels in Guatemala
What are the best landmarks to visit in Guatemala?
For iconic landmarks, you absolutely have to see Tikal, a magnificent Mayan city in the Petén Basin, and Antigua Guatemala, a stunning colonial city with beautiful architecture and cobblestone streets. Lake Atitlán, with its volcanoes and charming villages, is another must-see. Don't forget the vibrant capital city, Guatemala City, with its own historical sites and museums.
What are the most popular 2, 3 and 4-star hotels in Guatemala?
Exploring the Mayan ruins at Tikal is a top priority. Then, there's hiking volcanoes around Lake Atitlán, perhaps climbing San Pedro or Atitlán itself. A visit to Antigua Guatemala allows for exploring its colonial architecture and taking a Spanish cooking class. For something different, consider visiting a coffee plantation and learning about the process from bean to cup.
The best time to visit is during the dry season, from November to April. This period offers the best weather for exploring the country's diverse landscapes and participating in outdoor activities. However, bear in mind that this is also peak tourist season, so you might encounter higher prices and more crowds.
What are the best family friendly hotels in Guatemala?
Which neighbourhoods or areas are best for spending a week in Guatemala?
Antigua Guatemala is perfect for a week, offering a blend of history, culture, and activities. Lake Atitlán provides a more relaxed atmosphere with opportunities for hiking and exploring the surrounding villages. If you want a more urban experience, Guatemala City offers a glimpse into modern Guatemalan life, although it's less tourist-focused than the other two.
What are the best pet friendly hotels in Guatemala?
Which parts of Guatemala are perfect for a weekend getaway?
Antigua Guatemala is easily manageable in a weekend, allowing you to explore its main attractions. Alternatively, a weekend trip to Lake Atitlán lets you experience the lake's beauty and one or two of the villages. Semuc Champey, with its stunning natural pools, is also a good option for a short break, though it requires more travel time.
What are the best hotels with jacuzzi in Guatemala?
Is renting a car recommended for exploring Guatemala?
Renting a car can be convenient for exploring certain areas, but it's not always necessary. Public transport, such as chicken buses, is readily available and affordable, especially for travelling between towns and cities. However, driving in Guatemala can be challenging due to road conditions and traffic, so consider your comfort level before renting a car.
What are the best hotels with a swimming pool in Guatemala?
Credit card acceptance varies. Larger hotels, restaurants in tourist areas, and some shops accept them, but it's advisable to carry sufficient Guatemalan Quetzales (GTQ) for smaller establishments and local markets. ATMs are widely available in cities and towns.
What are the largest airports in Guatemala?
La Aurora International Airport (GUA) in Guatemala City is the main international airport. There are also smaller airports in other parts of the country, such as Mundo Maya International Airport (FRS) serving Flores, near Tikal.
Are there any unwritten rules of behaviour visitors should know about Guatemala?
It's polite to greet people with a handshake or a 'buenos días/tardes/noches'. Learning a few basic Spanish phrases is appreciated. Bargaining is common in markets, but do it respectfully. Be mindful of local customs and traditions, showing respect for the culture.
What local specialties should you try in Guatemala?
Pepián is a rich and flavorful stew, a must-try. Try also Kak'ik, a Mayan turkey stew. For something lighter, there are delicious fresh fruit juices and elotes (grilled corn). And don't forget the coffee – Guatemala is known for its high-quality beans.
Where are the best shopping spots in Guatemala?
Antigua Guatemala offers a variety of shops selling handicrafts, textiles, and souvenirs. The markets in Chichicastenango and Guatemala City also offer a wide selection of goods, though bargaining is expected. For unique items, explore smaller artisan workshops in various towns and villages.
What signature events or festivals take place in Guatemala?
Semana Santa (Holy Week) is a significant religious event with elaborate processions in Antigua Guatemala and other cities. The Fiesta de Santiago in Santiago Sacatepéquez is a vibrant celebration with traditional dances and costumes. Rabinal Achi, a Mayan dance-drama, is a UNESCO Masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity.
What’s the best place in Guatemala for mild and comfortable weather?
Antigua Guatemala generally enjoys a pleasant climate year-round, although it can get cooler in the evenings. The higher elevations around Lake Atitlán also offer comfortable temperatures, but it can be cooler at night.
What are the most common travel mistakes tourists make in Guatemala?
Not exchanging currency before arrival can lead to difficulties, as not everywhere accepts credit cards. Underestimating travel times between destinations is another common mistake. Failing to learn basic Spanish phrases can also create communication barriers. Finally, neglecting to take necessary precautions against altitude sickness when visiting higher elevations is another frequent error.
What are some hidden gems to explore in Guatemala?
Semuc Champey, with its stunning natural pools and waterfalls, is a relatively less-visited natural wonder. The Rio Dulce, a navigable river with impressive canyons and the Castillo de San Felipe, is another hidden gem. Consider also exploring the smaller villages around Lake Atitlán beyond the well-known tourist hubs.
