When to Go
There’s no bad time for visiting Guatemala, however the rainy season makes travel on unpaved roads more difficult from mid-May to mid-Oct, and into Nov and Dec in the north and east. The height of the foreign tourist season is from Dec to Feb when you can expect some cool nights and mornings. Weather-wise. March and April are the hottest and driest months.
