Answer:
Guatemala is a wonderfully beautiful country with beautiful and colourful colonial cities featuring detailed architecture, tropical jungles, active volcanoes, gorgeous lakes, impressive and fascinating Mayan Ruins and traditional indigenous villages.
Guatemala is still considered a somewhat off-the-beaten-path destination in Central America and there just isn’t the same volume of information about travel there as there are for other countries in the region like Mexico or Costa Rica.
I spent two and a half weeks backpacking around the country in November 2016 and learned a lot of tips and interesting insights along the way and thought that it might be helpful to share these with others.
Here are some useful things to know before you travel to Guatemala based on my experiences and observations during my two weeks traveling around the country. I hope you enjoy reading and if you are planning a trip to Guatemala, I hope that these are helpful to you!
