About Guatemala - Chapter 5 - Travel Considerations
What to wear in Guatemala?
Guatemala is a country with a little climatic variation. If you travel from November to February, the weather is a bit cold, so long-sleeved sweatshirts are recommended. During the summer from March to June, it is recommended to bring fresh and light clothes to enjoy the hot weather at noon. Most of the time you will wear sports shoes or hiking boots during walks or climbing volcanoes.
Cameras and phones
They can be used in the central areas of the most popular touristic places in Guatemala, but you must be alert at all times. Caution is always important when visiting popular destinations.
