Best time to travel to Guatemala

While the perfect time to visit Guatemala is during the dry season that runs from November through April, the country boasts warm temperatures year round, making it a great place to sightsee and explore at any time of the year.

The wet season lasts from May through October, but the rain doesn’t fall for more than a few hours per day. This is an ideal time of year to check out cities, such as Antigua.

The highlands and lowlands both experience warm temperatures during the day, but the highlands will cool down at night.

The dry season is a great time to visit the archeological sites through trekking and camping, but the drier weather brings more tourists and higher prices.
