Guatemala Top Tips From Our Travel Experts
Michelle Tachon
Rise early to be one of the first visitors into the Mayan site of Tikal in northern Guatemala. The early morning mists and the roars of the howler monkeys in the trees above add to the atmosphere of this fascinating site.
Paul Taylor
It's worth spending a few days exploring beautiful Lake Atitlan. Surrounded by striking volcanoes, use the local shuttle boats to reach the surrounding villages which each have their own unique flavour.
Pete Waters
Sitting in the shadows of three volcanoes, the World Heritage Site of Antigua is packed with beautiful colonial buildings and atmospheric churches.
