I am traveling to Guatemala. Any advice on must do activities?

Question

We are going during the "winter" season... so it will be rainy.

Answer 1

Guatemala is a beautiful country, with great people, i would say go to Antigua, tikal,and panahachel, when your in panachacel take the boat ride to another island its breath taking being there in  that beautiful green water , and your boat passing by beautiful volcano's, and they have alot of art on sale there Mayan warrior carving out of lava rock, and try this candy that is tamanido it looks like a red ball of sugar , but it has fruit inside its so good, have fun

Answer 2

Go to el Peten it is very beautiful there

Answer 3

Check out the videos at http://www.atitlan.net . They give a good overview of things to do and see in Guatemala.

Answer 4

If you go to Quetzaltenango  (sp), locally known as Xela, ask the locals about hot springs about 45 min. outside of town. There is a wonderful hot springs near Xela in the mountains. It is warmed by the volcanos. Picture perfect! Absolutely wonderful.

Answer 5

Depends on how long your visit is.   Antigua is a must.  Skip anything in capital city, it's dirty and not that safe.   If you must stay there, check out Museo Ixchel and Museo Popul Vuh.  Also if you have time go to Lake Atitlan, its beautiful.

Answer 6

Just like going to any other coutry!

Your values, your passport, yourself!

Rain starts in two weeks was told in TV.

Answer 7

go to TIKAL THAT IS A BEAUTIFUL PLACE

Answer 8

Ok, first check out the official site of the country:

www.visitiguatemala.com

I recomend that you should go first to Antigua. Panajachel, Guatemala City and Chichicastenango it´s not far from there.

Then, you can go from Guatemala City to Rio Dulce, Livingston and then to Tikal. Near TIkal there is Peten Itza lake (beautiful place).

After Tikal, you can go to Coban, and visit Semuc Champey and Lanquin caves (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/co...

Before you go, you MUST go to Pacaya Volcano and see the lava rivers.

Antigua and Rio Dulce could be your ¨headquarters¨.

Answer 9

Even in the Rainy season it is usually only showers in the morning.  

My list...

Antigua Guatemala,

Tikal,

Panajachel,

Chichicastenango,

Rio Dulce,

Guatemala City.

Antigua makes a great base of operations and you can do day or overnight trips to all the places listed.
