What To Wear In Guatemala
To sum it up - An amazing experience
- Guatemala, whilst a small country, is amazingly diverse. If you're travelling, it's best to dress in layers that can be shed as the day really heats up.
- Essentials include light-coloured trousers and shirts (leave your shorts at home), swimming costume, and a light raincoat or windbreaker.
- At high altitudes the temperature often plummets at night, so a fleece is an absolute must.
- The rainy season is from mid-May to mid-October, so make sure you pack a waterproof if you are planning on travelling then. However, if you're planning on trekking around the country then our advice would be to take a waterproof jacket whatever time of year you travel.
- If your trip includes lots of walking be sure to carry good, rubber-soled walking shoes.
- Leave all of your jewellery at home - you really won't need it.
- Once you are outside of Guatemala City you really need to be sure you take everything you need including sun cream, Insect repellent, adapter plugs and converters for electrical appliances.
- If you are in Guatemala on business then for women knee length skirts rather than trousers and blouses with sleeves will help you fit right in.
