Guatemala information and travel advice from Smart Traveller 

Exercise a high degree of caution in Guatemala because of the risk of serious criminal activity and incidents of local unrest. 

Pay close attention to your personal security at all times and monitor the media for information about possible new safety or security risks.

Guatemala has one of the highest crime rates in Central America. Criminals have targeted tourists arriving at the international airport and travelling to hotels in Guatemala City and Antigua.

Tensions remain in Rio Dulce, Livingston, Lake Izabal and Puerto Barrios in Izabal Department. If you intend to visit this region, we advise you to check with local authorities and monitor the local media for developments.

The hurricane season is June to November when landslides, mudslides and flooding may occur. In the case of a hurricane, monitor local media reports and follow the instructions of local emergency officials.
