When to go Guatemala ?
Because of its changes in altitude and the orientation of its reliefs, it is difficult to define the same climate for the whole of Guatemala. Moreover, if it is possible to travel all year round, it is more pleasant to discover it during the dry season, from November to April. This is also the period with the most famous cultural and religious mobilizations, such as Semana Santa, Día de Todos los Santos and Virgen de Candelaria.
With a tropical climate that includes two seasons, a dry season (November to mid-May) and a wet season (mid-May to October), Guatemala's weather varies greatly. September and early October are the rainiest time of the year, while the hurricane season (Caribbean area) runs from July to October. The temperature in Guatemala also depends on the area where you are located: while it is hot all year round on the coasts, winters are cold in the mountains.
