We recommend to bring…

Guatemalans are very catholic and conservative and in some way a macho country, if you don´t want un-wanted attention please do not wear provocative clothes. We also suggest that you do not wear any expensive jewelry while traveling in Guatemala and certainly do not bring any piece with a sentimental value in case of loss or theft. When walking on markets or crowded places wear your backpack, camera in front as you walk and wallet on your front pocket. – as any other market in the world you will find pick pocketing a popular sport.

In Guatemala City, Antigua and Atitlan wear spring clothing during the day and a sweater (November also a scarf) at night. Comfortable walking shoes are recommended for your tours. At archaeological sites, beaches and rainforest areas light colored, lightweight, cotton clothing, sunglasses and a hat are recommended.
