Hi Pat, How wonderful your granddaughter is planning to celebrate Guatemalan holidays and festivals next year! The website http://www.timeanddate.com has the ability to print a calendar with national holidays of a selected country printed on it. However it doesn’t have much information about the festivities themselves. Food is a major part of every Guatemalan celebration and she might enjoy trying some of the traditional dishes. Did you subscribe to our newsletter? We send out seasonal information monthly and always include information on Guatemala and easy recipes. In the meantime, I’ll check with our designer and see if there is a way to create a PDF of this post.

Hi Nancie! Glad to hear you liked the food tips! Guatemala is known as the Land of Eternal Spring as in the capital and highlands the temperatures rarely rises above 25C. Late summer and early fall are the rainy season and March – May can be very hot at the beaches and in the lowlands so it really depends where you are planning to go. Overall Guatemala is a year round destination so you can choose your travel dates based on what you want to experience. Like other destinations, holiday periods are the most expensive.
