Welcome to our Guatemala travel guides- everything you need to plan your perfect trip to Guatemala. 

One of the most beautiful countries in Central America, Guatemala is a small country with a lot to offer. From stunning lake and volcano scenery to ancient Mayan ruins and culture, Guatemala is a culturally rich country with many natural wonders. 

You want to begin your trip in Antigua Guatemala, Guatemala’s beautiful old capital that’ll transport you back a few hundred years with its cobblestone streets, beautiful colonial architecture and exquisite cafe scene. 

From here it’s an easy ride to Lake Atitlan, Central America’s deepest lake, an expanse of blue surrounded by green volcanoes that look like they’re rising out of the lake. Village hop your way around, connecting with the indigenous communities that live here and perhaps do a yoga class or two. 

If you’re a beach person, head to the coast, to Le Paredon for surfing and some of Guatemala’s most exquisite beachside accommodation. 

In the hard-to-access north of the country get some adventure in and explore Tikal, Guatemala’s most revered Mayan Ruins and Semuc Champey, a series of slow flowing waterfalls in the middle of the jungle. 

Guatemala is also a great spot for the wellness focused traveller. Find yoga studios, a like-minded community and health-focused cafes in the wellness hot spot San Marcos de la Laguna on Lake Atitlan. The lake itself is also brimming with wellness-focused resorts and eco-friendly stays.
