What Can I do to Minimize My Impact in Guatemala?
There are several things you can do to minimize your impact while traveling in Guatemala. Whenever possible, reuse your water bottle and take short showers to save electricity. Don't buy any souvenirs that are made with endangered animal products. These include jaguar teeth, turtle eggs, and jewelry made from coral. Supporting Guatemala’s national parks and reserve system is important, as is staying at hotels that have sustainable practices.
Guatemala Hotels
No matter how deep in the jungle or high in the mountains you go, the perfect room is waiting for you in Guatemala. Want to save money? Dorm-style accommodations at surfing beaches and top attractions make traveling here a backpacker’s dream. Boutique, homey rooms are perfect for staying cozy in the Andes. For a more luxurious retreat, get a corner of Lake Atitlán to yourself in an upscale ecolodge. Every budget has its place, not far from some of Guatemala’s must-see landscapes, cityscapes, and Maya ruins.
We believe travel is more than ticking destinations off a list – it’s about discovering new places deeply, feeling connected wherever you go, and knowing you have a trusted team behind you every step of the way.
