Tips

  • Watch your step while exploring the ruins as there may be missing steps, uneven ground or tree roots on the way.
  • Keep your eyes open for the rare red and green quetzal which is Guatemala's national bird. You won’t find them in zoos.
  • Remember to carry an insect repellent as sand fleas and flies can be a bother in the jungle.
  • Guatemalans are polite and quite reserved, so avoid being aggressive, loud or rude.
  • Always ask permission before you photograph the Mayan people, especially the children.
  • If you pass a street performance on a marimba; stop, listen and offer a tip. Tips are their livelihood.
  • Try and read up on Mayan history before you visit the sites as it will enhance your experience.
  • Guatemala doesn’t encourage begging, so avoid giving money to people who approach you.
