When is the best time to visit Guatemala?

The best time to visit Guatemala is during the dry season, from November to April, when weather is sunny and ideal for exploring. Temperatures are pleasant, and rainfall is minimal, making it perfect for hiking, visiting Mayan ruins, and enjoying festivals like Semana Santa (Holy Week) in April. The wet season (May to October) brings heavy rains, especially in the afternoons, but landscapes are lush and crowds thinner. For beach trips, February to April offers the best coastal conditions. Avoid peak tourist times (December and Easter) if you prefer fewer crowds.
