Nestled in Central America, Guatemala is a country brimming with an infectious vitality that captures the spirit of its rich and multifaceted past. With a populace approximated at 17.6 million, this nation stands as the most populous in Central America, its heart beating in the throbbing pulse of Guatemala City, the capital. One cannot venture into Guatemala without crossing paths with its extraordinary history, shaped by the Maya civilization that holds an enduring influence over its landscapes, architecture, and traditions.

Witnessing ascension in 1821 from the shadows of Spanish and Mexican rule, modern-day Guatemala treads a challenging path towards stability and progress. Its journey marked by upheaval and conflict carries a stark contrast to its serene ecology, a veritable haven for nature enthusiasts. Derived from the Nahuatl language, the name Guatemala, meaning "place of many trees," lives up to its promise, harbouring some of Mesoamerica's most biodiverse ecosystems within its borders.

When to visit Guatemala

Destined to charm visitors year-round, Guatemala showcases two distinct seasons - the dry period and the rainy spell. Tourists looking to soak in the radiant sun prefer visiting between November and late March, marking the first high season. Alternatively, the summer vacation months favoured in the U.S., Canada, and Europe, present another window to experience Guatemala in all its glory. For those eager to delight in tropical fruits, timing your visit in June or July is sure to titillate your taste buds.

That being said, gallivanting around Guatemala during the low seasons, following the Holy Week until the end of May or between September and October's end, comes with its own perks. Not only can you find accommodations at more budget-friendly rates, but it also offers the added benefit of less-crowded attractions, turning an already enchanting holiday into an even more serene and tranquil getaway.
