We recommend visiting Guatemala during the dry season, which spans from November to April, when the weather is warm, pleasant, and generally free of rain. This makes ideal weather for exploring the country’s diverse landscapes and archaeological sites. Temperatures range from about 72°F to 90°F, with cooler evenings in the highlands and consistently warm conditions in the lowlands like Tikal.
