Guatemala is quickly becoming a popular tourist destination—and for good reason! The country is full of unique adventures, ranging from exploring ancient Mayan ruins and swimming through turquoise rivers flowing through the jungle to falling asleep on top of a volcano, as you watch another active volcano spew lava less than a mile away. For such a small country, Guatemala has SO many adventures to get up to—so, if you have a short amount of time to explore this incredible place, it can be hard to know how—and where—to spend your time.
But, not to worry—my husband, Justin, and I have spent over a month exploring this beautiful country and have put together the perfect Guatemala itinerary over the course of nine days (i.e., two weekends and five days of your precious PTO!) to make the most of your time here, including where to stay, how to get around, and exactly what adventures you should get up to.

How to Get Around Guatemala
Most travelers that are visiting Guatemala spend time in a variety of different towns spread across the country, like Antigua or Flores.
And, while Guatemala is on the smaller side, it actually takes quite a while to get around the country, due to its mountainous terrain and bumpy roads. For example, Flores is only about 92 miles away, as the crow flies, from Semuc Champey, the aforementioned turquoise river through the dense jungle—however, it takes about eight and a half hours to drive between the two towns.
Luckily, there’s several ways to get around Guatemala.
Getting around Guatemala by tourist shuttle
I personally think the best way to navigate around Guatemala are the affordable shuttles that you can easily take to get between all of the most popular destinations. That’s how Justin and I have gotten around Guatemala on multiple trips here and have always found it super straightforward to navigate.
In the itinerary below, I’ll suggest some shuttle options that you can take to get around Guatemala.
Getting around Guatemala by rental car
Alternatively, some travelers opt to get rental cars.
I personally wouldn’t recommend this— drivers, especially in Guatemala City, can be quite aggressive; some of the roads are not particularly well-maintained; and there are destinations, like Lake Atitlan, where you won’t be able to bring your vehicle. Still, if you prefer total flexibility and are a pretty confident driver, we’ve certainly seen worse driving conditions elsewhere (I’m looking at you, India).
Getting around Guatemala by chicken bus
If you’re on a shoestring budget and are a more adventurous traveler, you can also get around by using “chicken buses.” This form of transportation, which are essentially souped up old school buses, are the closest thing Guatemala has to public transit and are what locals use to get around.
They’re usually very affordable (typically costing under $10 USD to travel between destinations), but are quite uncomfortable, with crowded seats and no air conditioning. Additionally, they’re not the easiest to navigate—they often require several transfers to get between destinations, so unless you speak fluent Spanish and have plenty of time, it may be a bit of a struggle.
How Many Days Do You Need in Guatemala
While Guatemala is a small country, there’s a LOT to see, spread across its almost 110,000 square kilometers. Accordingly, you could easily spend a month in the country and still not see all the highlights.
However, if you’re like the rest of us and don’t have unlimited time, I’d suggest trying to aim for at least nine days, which allows you to see most of Guatemala’s major highlights (with a jam-packed itinerary!).
If you have less days than that, I’d suggest just focusing on the destinations in the country’s western side, like Antigua and Lake Atitlan, so you’ll have more time to spend enjoying this incredible country and not just spend your entire vacation sitting on a shuttle bus.
9 Day Guatemala Itinerary
Now, on to the good stuff—how to actually spend your time in Guatemala!
If you don’t have a full nine days in Guatemala, not to worry—as mentioned above, I’d just suggest focusing on Antigua and Lake Atitlan (i.e., Days 1 through 5 in the itinerary below) instead of trying to squeeze everything in.
One final note—Justin and I are definitely more on the adventure-lover side and tried to squeeze as many hikes and volcano-y things into our Guatemala itinerary as we possibly could. If you’re slightly less keen on outdoor adventuring than we are, it would be very easy to dial back the mountain climbing and increase the time spent exploring the local cities or enjoying some sweet pool time at your hotel.
Day 0: Guatemala City to Antigua
Fly into Guatemala City and transfer to Antigua
Guatemala has two major airports, Guatemala City and Flores. I’d suggest flying into Guatemala City, given its proximity to Antigua and the fact that you’ll probably be able to get a better deal on airfare there, as compared to flying into Flores.
From Guatemala City, you can take a shuttle directly to the charming colonial city and UNESCO World Heritage Site of Antigua. For example, you can grab this shared shuttle or, for just a few dollars more, get a private shuttle instead. The ride typically takes about an hour and a half, but traffic in Guatemala City is CRAZY, so it may take a while longer.
It’ll likely be quite late by the time you get to Antigua, so I’d suggest simply checking into your hotel and resting up for your future Guatemala adventures.
Most of the shared shuttles stop running around 7:30 to 9 PM so, depending on when your flight lands, you may need to stay the night in Guatemala City and get shuttled to Antigua early the following morning.
Where to spend the night
Consider a stay at the Hotel Casa Santa Domingo, a hotel built in a historic convent, with a pool that offers killer views of the towering Agua Volcano, hot tubs, and an awesome location near downtown Antigua.
Alternatively, if you need to spend the night in Guatemala City, I’d suggest staying at the Hyatt Centric, which is located pretty close to the airport and in one of the safest neighborhoods in the city.
Day 1: Get pizza cooked over a volcano and explore Antigua
Hike the Pacaya Volcano
Start off your trip with something you’re sure to lava (get it?! Volcano pun!)—climbing Pacaya, one of the four active volcanoes near Antigua.
The Pacaya hike is steep, but on the shorter side, climbing 1,500 feet in about 1.7 miles (one-way). At the top, you’ll be rewarded with jaw-dropping views over Antigua and the surrounding volcanoes, PLUS you’ll get the opportunity to roast marshmallows over volcanic steam vents.
But what REALLY makes Pacaya special is something quite unique—Pacaya Pizza, the world’s only “pizzeria” on top of a volcano!
Several days a week, Pacaya Pizza’s founder, Mario David García Mansilla, hikes to the top of the volcano with 60 pounds of ingredients on his back, ready to bake up some seriously tasty pies for visitors over the steaming vents.
There’s only one important catch—there’s no set schedule for Pacaya Pizza!
As far as I can tell, Mansilla only makes the trek up to the summit of the volcano when people book private tours to the pizzeria, like this option or this option, which include transportation from your hotel, a guide, and, of course, a pizza!
When we visited Antigua, we REALLY wanted to get some pizza at the volcano, but these private tours were a bit outside of our budget. So, after LOTS of digging around, I found one tour company, Voyageur Tours, who actually helped us figure out when Pacaya Pizza was open, so that we could book a group tour during one of those timeframes.
So, if you have a bit of luck (or flexibility in your schedule), you can book a more affordable group tour with Voyageur when Pacaya Pizza is open. If you’re not quite as lucky, you’d need to book a private tour to ensure you can get your pie near the volcano’s summit.
I actually surprised Justin by taking him here for Valentine’s day lunch. Check out our full YouTube video about the experience below.
Explore Antigua
If you book the morning Pacaya tour, you’ll get back to Antigua by early afternoon, with plenty of time to wander around and explore the city’s beautiful cobblestone streets for the rest of the day.
Some of our favorite things to do in Antigua include:
- Stopping at the Santa Catalina Arch, the most iconic structure in the city that dates all the way back to 1694
- Learning about the history of chocolate—and, of course, doing some serious taste testing, at the ChocoMuseum
- Taking in the views of the Agua Volcano while enjoying craft beer at the Antigua Brewing Company
- Taking a walking tour of the city to learn more about its impressive history and culture
- Admiring some of the historic churches in the city, such as Iglesia de La Merced or Iglesia Católica San Francisco el Grande, both of which date back to the 1760s
- Trying your hand at salsa dancing or just enjoying the live music at Las Palmas
Grab dinner and drinks
There are countless restaurants in Antigua, but a few of our favorites are 27 Adentro, which is the CUTEST restaurant in the city with an incredible fusion of Guatemalan and Caribbean food, and El Criollo, an authentic Guatemalan restaurant tucked away in a pretty courtyard.
If you’re up for a nightcap, Wisdom Cocktail Bar is one of the best speakeasies we’ve been to. It actually can be a bit difficult to find, but trust in Google Maps and you’ll eventually be rewarded with some seriously tasty cocktails! But practice moderation, because tomorrow is gonna be a workout!
Where to spend the night
Day 2: Hike up Acatenango
Join a tour to climb Acatenango
The highlight of most travelers’ Guatemala itinerary is hiking up Acatenango, a massive volcano that happens to overlook Fuego, a neighboring volcano that spews molten lava into the air every 15-20 minutes.
Acatenango is typically done over the course of one and a half days.
On the first day, you’ll be picked up in Antigua very early in the morning and driven to the base of Acatenango. You’ll then start your climb up to your company’s base camp near the volcano’s summit.
Justin and I hike a LOT and we still found Acatenango to be pretty intense, between the high altitude, the loose volcanic soil you’re hiking up, and the incredibly steep elevation gain, climbing 5,269 feet in just 4.2 miles (one-way). Still, most people in relatively good shape should be able to make it up to base camp—just be prepared to get your butt kicked!
Tour companies’ base camps vary, but usually offer some kinda basic accommodations, like wooden A-frame shelters or tents, and picnic tables. They also usually (but do not always!) have incredible views of Fuego’s eruptions.
From here, you’ll have the option to add on an extra hike to climb up the ridgeline of Fuego, to get even closer to the lava (which is at an additional cost), or, if you’re totally pooped from the climb up to base camp, like we were, you can simply watch the sunset from a viewpoint on Acatenango.
Back at base camp, you’ll sit around a fire, eat dinner as you watch the fiery lava shoot out of Fuego, and then immediately pass out from sheer exhaustion. Just don’t expect to get super good sleep—it’s COLD and Fuego’s eruptions are super loud every 15-20 minutes!
It’s worth mentioning that you’re actually required to do Acatenango with a guide.
We went with this company and, while we had some hiccups with their pre-hike communications, we actually LOVED our experience with them—the guides were awesome (one of them actually helped me carry some of my water, because I was having such a hard time on the hike) and their base camp has the best view of Fuego out of all of the companies.
Ox Travelers was another company that we were considering. We actually probably would have booked with them, given their responsive pre-hike communications. However, we made the mistake of waiting until a few days before our hike to book and they were already booked out for weeks and weeks. Whoops!
It may be all for the best—their hiking tours are typically on the larger size (with up to 30 travelers at a time) and we really enjoyed the smaller size of our group—we still stay in contact with some of the other people in it to this day!
There’s a LOT to know about Acatenango, including why you should absolutely rent trekking poles, must-pack essentials like a buff, and exactly what to expect along the way. We wrote an entire article about the Actenango hike on our sister site, Uprooted Traveler, so if you want the full scoop on the trail, be sure to check out the post!
Where to spend the night
Your base camp, of course!
Day 3: Return from Acetango and explore Antigua
Complete Acetanango and return to Antigua
If the weather cooperates, your guides will lead you up to the summit of Acetango to watch sunrise. This is actually the steepest part of the hike, but it’s totally worth it to see the first glowy rays of the sun light up Fuego.
You’ll return to base camp and, after an early breakfast, make your way back to the trailhead, where you’ll be shuttled back to Antigua.
Explore Antigua
After a long and glorious hot shower (trust me, you will have volcanic dust in nooks and crannies that you didn’t realize existed on your body), spend the rest of the day hitting any of the remaining attractions in Antigua that you may have missed on the first day.
If you have boundless energy and feel like you’ve exhausted your exploration of the city, you might want to consider heading to the very quirky theme park of Hobbitenango, which is located high in the mountains outside of the city. It’s a Lord of the Rings theme park, with the largest tree swing in North America; games, like archery or ax throwing; and lots of beautiful lookouts over the surrounding green fields and volcanoes.
You can visit during the day for Q50 (around $6.50 USD) or, alternatively, you can actually stay the night in one of the hobbit holes. We did just that and, even as not super huge fans of Lord of the Rings, had SO much fun—you basically get the entire park all to yourself once it closes!
Where to spend the night
Hotel Casa Santa Domingo or, for those with lots of energy left over after Acetango, consider a stay at Hobbitenango.
Day 4: Head to Lake Atitlan
Leave from Antigua to head to Lake Atitlan
If you aren’t already in Antigua, head back there and catch a morning shuttle, like this group option, this group option, or this private option, to Panajachel in Lake Atitlan. The ride should take about two and a half hours.
Lake Atitlan is one of the largest lakes in Guatemala, surrounded by massive volcanoes, and its shores are dotted with 11 Mayan communities, each of which have their own distinct personality. For example, San Marcos is known as the hippie community, with tons of yoga studios and reiki healing workshops, whereas San Pedro is known for having a party vibe.
Regardless of which of these towns you want to explore, you’ll need to start in the largest town of Panajachel, where you can catch a lancha (or boat) from the main dock to the smaller villages, spread across its shores.
Explore San Pedro, Lake Atitlan
While you can’t go wrong with any of the towns here, I’d personally recommend heading to San Pedro. The guys at the dock in Panajachel will ask which town you’re headed to and direct you to the right boat. The ride takes about 45 minutes from Panajachel and should cost no more than 30Q.
We’ve visited Lake Atitlan a few times and my favorite town on its shores, by far, is San Pedro. We liked it so much that we actually lived with a local family here for two weeks (see our video below) ! As mentioned above, the town is known for having something of a party vibe, but it has SO much more to offer than that (Justin and I are frankly well past our partying days).
There’s tons of shops and restaurants; a hidden gem called Los Termales, with hot tubs overlooking the lake; and outfitters where you can rent kayaks or stand-up paddleboards to get out on the lake. There’s actually so many cool things to do in San Pedro we wrote a whole article about it!
I’d definitely recommend grabbing food at Pita Sabij, which not only has incredible views over Lake Atitlan, but also has the BEST falafel I’ve had anywhere in the world.
Where to spend the night
Casa Lobo offers a slightly more upscale experience than most of the backpacker hostels in San Pedro, with cute bungalows and an EPIC infinity pool that overlooks the town of San Pedro and Lake Atitlan.
Day 5: Lake Atitlan
Hike Indian Nose for sunrise
One of the main reasons we originally opted to stay in San Pedro is that, because of its location, it’s one of the only towns where you can join a tour, like this private option or this private option, to hike up and see the famed sunrise from Indian Nose, a summit of a mountain near the town of San Juan and Santa Clara.
The wake-up time is kind of brutal (usually departing around 3:45 AM) and the hike up to the summit is steep, gaining 951 feet in under a mile (hey, at least it’s short!). Still, at least on the tour I went on, the guide was patient and made lots of stops whenever the group needed it.
At the summit, you’ll usually be given a warm drink, like hot cocoa or coffee, and a pastry as you watch the sun eclipse the surrounding mountains and volcanoes. Lake Atitlan is always stunning, but getting a birds eye view of its landscape as it’s lit up by the soft, glowy light of the rising sun is absolutely next level!
Explore Lake Atitlan
Most Indian Nose tours are finished by around 8 AM, so you’ll have the rest of the day to explore more of Lake Atitlan.
Here’s some of our favorite spots around the lake, which you can easily get to from the lanchas that depart from San Pedro’s dock. Just talk to the guys at the pier that are helping people get in and out of boats and they’ll direct you to the right one.
San Marcos
In San Marcos, book a class at the Instagram-famous Eagle’s Nest Yoga studio, where you can take an aerial yoga or breathwork class from an enormous wooden platform, perched high on a mountaintop, overlooking Lake Atitlan. Afterwards, head to Reserva Natural Cerro Tzankujil, a nature reserve with some short hiking trails and platforms for cliff-jumping into the lake.
San Juan
San Juan is a colorful town right next to San Pedro and actually, there’s really no need to get a boat there—it’s a short 20 minute walk between the towns.
Consider going on this tour of a coffee plantation in town, where you’ll learn about the production process, from the planting of the seed all the way through the brewing process. You, of course, will get the opportunity to taste a cup of some fresh brews. Afterwards, stop by TinteMaya, a collective of artisans that are focused on empowering local women through Mayan weaving.
Casa del Mundo
If you’re looking for some relaxation, consider heading to Casa del Mundo, a TikTok-famous hotel by the tiny town of Jabilito. The property is absolutely gorgeous, with perfectly manicured tropical gardens, secluded swimming spots, and quirky rooms built into a hill.
While spending a night or two at the hotel is always an option (you can read our full review of Casa del Mundo here), you can also just purchase a day pass here for 50Q which gives you unfettered use of its swimming platforms, countless hammocks and lounge chairs, and even a wood-fired hot tub (the latter of which is at an extra cost!).
Where to spend the night
Casa Lobo or, if you’re looking for a change of scenery, Casa del Mundo
Day 6: Transfer to Semuc Champey
Grab a shuttle from Panajachel to Lanquin
From San Pedro, jump on an early morning lancha back to Panajachel. The boats typically start operating at 6 AM.
From here, grab the earliest shuttle you can to Lanquin, like this option, which departs at 7:30 AM. Lanquin is the closest town to Semuc Champey, a natural limestone bridge that’s known for its stunning series of tiered turquoise pools, located deep in the Guatemalan jungle.
The ride to Lanquin should take somewhere between 9 and 10 hours, with a few stops for the bathroom and food breaks.
Head to your hotel in Lanquin
The bus will drop you off in Lanquin in the late afternoon.
With respect to where to stay in Lanquin, you have two options—either a hotel that’s close to Semuc Champey, deep in the jungle, or, alternatively, a hotel in the town itself.
If you choose to stay near Semuc Champey, you have the benefit of being able to walk to the pools as soon as they open at 8 AM, well before the camionetas (i.e., a pickup truck that’s been retrofitted to have benches in its bed that can typically fit around 20 people) from Lanquin arrive. Plus, the properties here tend to be beautiful ecolodges that allow you to immerse yourself in the lush landscape.
On the flip side, because of their remote location, you’re basically going to be stuck eating at the onsite restaurant of whatever hotel you wind up choosing.
Alternatively, you can stay in the town of Lanquin. The benefit of staying in town is that there’s a handful of restaurants and shops here for you to enjoy. As for the downside, you’ll have to take a public camioneta to Semuc Champey, meaning you’ll have to arrive with all of the rest of the crowds by mid-morning. And, to be honest, Lanquin felt a bit on the sketchy side to us.
So, if you couldn’t tell, I’d personally recommend staying at one of the hotels near Semuc Champey. We stayed at Greengos Hotel, which is one of the closest properties to Semuc Champey and offers a mix of private and dorm rooms on a beautifully lush property. We wrote an entire review of Greengos Hotel, but in short, we REALLY enjoyed it and would definitely recommend staying there.
Spend the evening getting settled in, relaxing by the pool, and resting up for your adventures the following day!
Where to spend the night
As mentioned above, I’d recommend staying at a hotel near Semuc Champey, like Greengos. However, if you’d prefer to stay in town, I’d recommend staying at El Retiro, an adults-only property that is inarguably the most modern and well-equipped property in the area.
Day 7: Semuc Champey
Explore Semuc Champey
First thing in the morning, walk to Semuc Champey—or, if you stay in Lanquin, catch one of the first camionetas that leave from the town to the park. Tip—if you see locals selling small foil disks of homemade chocolate in its parking lot, just give them your money and thank us later!
Semuc Champey is a limestone platform that actually serves as a natural bridge over the Cabahón River. Over the millenia, runoff from the river has carved a series of tiered pools into the rock, which have filled with stunningly clear, turquoise water. Between the pools, waterfalls, and unique limestone formations, this area is absolutely STUNNING—so much so, that it was named a Natural Monument of Guatemala in 2005!
While swimming at Semuc Champey is the main highlight (at least, to us!), there’s TONS of other stuff to do in and around the park—hiking up to a mirador, overlooking the pools below; tubing down the river; exploring the nearby caves; and admiring some of the massive waterfalls.
You can either explore Semuc Champey on your own or, alternatively, go with a guided tour.
If you just plan on swimming and hiking around the park, I don’t really think it’s necessary to go with a guide—those activities are pretty straightforward and easy to figure out.
However, if you’re looking to enjoy all of the activities the park has to offer, I’d suggest joining a tour. The area is not well-signed, so it’s confusing to figure out where the various activities are (most of which are actually located outside of the park that you swim at), especially if your Spanish isn’t great. You can book a tour through your hotel or, if you’re visiting during a particularly busy period, like December through April, you might want to consider booking a tour online, like this option, ahead of time.
Spend the afternoon relaxing
If you do ALL the things at Semuc Champey, you could easily spend all day here.
However, if you happen to have some downtime in the afternoon, enjoy it! Most of the hotels in the area, including Greengos, have pools or even small beaches along the riverfront to enjoy a nice, cold cerveza by. This Guatemala itinerary is pretty adventure-packed, so enjoy the afternoon off from climbing up a volcano!
Where to spend the night
Day 8: Transfer to Flores
Grab a shuttle from Lanquin to Flores
Book a shuttle, like this option, from Lanquin to the town of Flores in northern Guatemala, which is known as the gateway to the ancient Mayan ruins of Tikal, located about an hour and 15 minutes away. These ruins, which date all the way back 1000 BC, are arguably the most popular attraction in the entire country and have the impressive title of a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
If you’re staying near Semuc Champey, your hotel will offer a camioneta or other form of transport back to the Lanquin bus stop, where you can get on your shuttle.
The shuttle ride should take between 8 and 9 hours, with stops for snacks and food.
Grab dinner and drinks in Flores
You should get to the colorful Mayan city of Flores by late afternoon, with at least a couple of hours to mosey around its candy-colored buildings and cobblestone streets. Flores is pretty unique—it’s actually located on a small island on Lake Petén, the largest lake in all of Guatemala.
One of my favorite things to do in Flores is head to one of its many rooftop bars, like Terrazzo, Ristorante E Bar, to have a cocktail and watch the sunset over Lake Petén. Afterwards, I’d suggest heading to the Nativo Restaurante—it was one of the best meals we had in Guatemala!
Head to bed in the earlier—you’re going to have a VERY early wake-up call for your last day in Guatemala!
Where to spend the night
Hotel Isla de Flores is an excellent value, with super comfy beds, an awesome rooftop pool, and our favorite coffee shop in Flores on the ground level.
Day 9: Sunrise tour of Tikal and fly home
Head to Tikal on a sunrise tour
This is your last day in Guatemala, but not to worry—we’re still going to squeeze in as much adventure as possible!
Join a sunrise tour to Tikal, where you’ll get to hear the sounds (and, hopefully, spot some critters!) of the jungle waking up and watching the first glowy rays of the sun light up what was once one of the most important cities in the Mayan civilization.
I’d suggest purchasing a tour online, like this option, ahead of time. In full transparency, you will absolutely get a better rate by purchasing a tour from one of the many tour agencies that line the streets in Flores. However, given how late the tourist shuttles get to Lanquin, there’s a significantly possibility that the sunrise tours may be sold out by the time you get to the town—or, if your shuttle is randomly super delayed, like ours was, the tour agencies may even be closed before you get to Flores. And you actually won’t be able to visit Tikal at sunrise without being on a tour—being with a guide is required as of the time this article is published.
Tours typically include transportation to and from your hotel in Flores and a certified tour guide to explain the history and culture of Tikal and the people that once lived here. It’s important to note that most tours, including the one linked above, do not include your park entrance fee (150Q for foreigners) and additional sunrise ticket fee (100Q) you’ll need to pay to enter the park, which you should purchase online ahead of time.
Justin and I have visited a fair number of Mayan ruins, but, in my opinion, Tikal is the most impressive we’ve been to (even beating out Chichen Itza, one of the Wonders of the World!). Not only is the site absolutely MASSIVE, with over 3,000 buildings scattered across its footprint, but there’s actually several temples and pyramids that you’re allowed to climb up, providing an excellent vantage point of the surrounding jungle and ruins. It makes you feel like you’re straight up in Indiana Jones!
There’s actually a ton to know about exploring these ancient ruins—like, you need to take your passport—but, luckily, we wrote a whole guide with everything you need to know about visiting Tikal.
Catch your flight home from Flores
You should get back to Flores around noon.
If you have some time before your flight, you can soak up the sun on one of the docks sprinkled around the city or, alternatively, pay one of the water taxis a few dollars to shuttle you around Lake Petén to enjoy views of the small islands, dotting its waters.
Otherwise, you can flag down one of the many tuk-tuks to drive you to the Mundo Mayan International Airport to catch your flight home.
When to Visit Guatemala
The best time to visit Guatemala is its dry season, from November through April, when the skies are typically clear and the temperatures are pleasantly warm. For reference, Justin and I have visited Guatemala in November and February and had pretty lovely weather during both of our visits.
You can definitely visit Guatemala during its rainy season (May through October), but, between the humidity and the heat, it may not be too comfortable for outdoor adventures. Plus, cloudy skies and intermittent rain showers can unfortunately put a damper on outdoor activities, like the Indian Nose or Acatenango hike (I’d be MAD if I climbed up that intense incline and didn’t get to see Fuego erupt!).
There you have it—the perfect Guatemala itinerary if you have nine days (or less!) in this beautiful and colorful country. Do you have any questions about visiting Guatemala? Let us know in the comments below!
