  • What currency do you need for Guatemala?

Chicken buses are inexpensive but can be crowded and slow. Shuttles offer more comfort and speed, but at a higher cost. Renting a car is possible, but requires a good understanding of driving conditions and a willingness to navigate challenging terrain.

    Respectful travel involves learning a few basic Spanish phrases, dressing modestly when visiting churches or more conservative areas, and being mindful of personal space. Bargaining is common in markets, but always do so politely. It's crucial to be aware of and sensitive to the Mayan culture and traditions, which are deeply rooted in the country's identity. Asking permission before taking photographs of people is always a good practice.

    For medical emergencies, dial 126. For police emergencies, dial 110. It's always advisable to have travel insurance that covers medical evacuation and other emergencies. The US Embassy and other embassies can provide assistance to their citizens in emergencies, but they are not a substitute for local emergency services.

    A week allows for a more in-depth exploration. You could explore Antigua, Lake Atitlán, and Tikal, experiencing colonial history, stunning lake views, and ancient Mayan ruins.
