When is the best time to visit Guatemala for photography?

The best time to visit Guatemala for photography is during the dry season (November to April), when clear skies and vibrant light enhance landscapes, colonial cities, and cultural events. December to February offers crisp air and stunning views of volcanoes, while Semana Santa (Holy Week, March/April) provides dramatic processions and colorful street scenes. For lush greenery, late May to early June (start of the rainy season) brings vibrant foliage with fewer crowds. Avoid peak rainy months (July-October) for consistent outdoor shooting, though occasional storms can create dramatic skies. Sunrise and golden hour are ideal year-round for soft, warm lighting.
