A First Timers Guide To: Guatemala

Guatemala is one of those countries that you will always dream of going back to. It has landed itself in my top 3 favorite countries of all time!! Guatemala has everything you could want in a destination: Rich culture, incredible nature, wild nightlife, unique food, and friendly locals. What more could you ask for?!

I traveled for two months in this incredible country and have gathered up all of my top personal recommendations. I give you the best hostels/hotels, cafes, restaurants, hikes, national parks, beaches, parties, lakes, yoga studios, and even cliff jumps.

I focus this guide on all the popular tourist hot spots such as Antigua, Lake Atitlan, El Paredon, Flores, and Lanquin.

I promise this guide has absolutely all you need to get THE most out of your Guatemala adventure. So what are you waiting for?!
