Guatemala, GTM Accommodation

Guatemala stands as an historical centre of Latin American history and culture. With many long-observed traditions and an ever-evolving arts scene, Guatemala showcases the best of the region’s old and new. And by “old,” we mean ancient. Spend your next holiday wandering through Mayan pyramids, touring 16th-century cathedrals and browsing artefacts from civilizations past. Return to the present with festivals, nightlife and natural beauty. Book flights to Guatemala and get ready to explore “The Land of Eternal Spring.”

What to Do in Guatemala

You’re probably wondering where to stay in Guatemala. That depends on your itinerary. Tikal National Park in northern Guatemala certainly won’t “ruin” your holiday—it’s home to the country’s most famous Mayan ruins. The surrounding area is gorgeous, too. Near the Mexican border, El Mirador ruins are thought to be significantly older, give or take a millennium or two. With a name that hints at nostalgia, Antigua Guatemala does not disappoint. Colourful Spanish-influenced houses line cobbled streets and grandiose columns mean the buildings make an impression. For a taste of modernity, head to the many museums in the capital, Guatemala City. When night falls, the restaurants and bars in Zona Viva near the city centre come alive—it is literally the “lively zone,” after all. Time-travelling can tire a person out, so relax in Guatemala accommodation and call it a day.

Getting To & Around Guatemala

Touch down at La Aurora International Airport (GUA) in Guatemala City and catch a tuk tuk—a three-wheeled taxi—to your Guatemala hotel. Wotif’s car hire options are another efficient mode of transportation, if you don’t mind occasional traffic. Although buses of all shapes and sizes are available throughout the country, ride with a good sense of humour.
