Going on a mission trip to Guatemala in March. Any travel tips? |
Travel Info I'll be in the Highlands staying at San Lucas Toliman, it will be my base. Going to nearby mission sites each day. Need tips on clothing for day and night. If insects a problem that time of year. Etc. Travel Tips San Lucas Toliman is right on Lake Atitlan, 1 mile above sea level. It is also the gateway down to the Pacific coast. On the coast, insects are always a problem. It will be hot and sticky, and March is the start of the rainy season. Up around the lake, insects won't be a problem. Jeans and a t-shirt during the day. It will be sunny every morning. Even in the rainy season it rarely rains before noon. Add a sweater in the evenings, or if you go up out of the caldera, to Chichicastenango for example. When you come up from Guatemala City to San Lucas, try to come on the "old back road", thru Patzun. The scenery is spectacular! Source(s): I live on <a href="http://www.atitlan.net">Lake Atitlan</a>. Other Travel Tips check to see if the water is drinkable and wear a shirt. way up in the mountains it gets very cold. down into the 20s. Spiders in Guatemala can grow to be the size of small cats. Keep your eyes peeled for them.... pack a tooth brush and some deo for that BO cause none of those people want to smell you stinkin up the place!!! (Trust ME) One thing - check WHO site (World Health Organization) for any warnings concernings diseases/vaccinations... |
