If you are like the typical Gringo who goes to Guatemala for the first time, you are expecting hot, muggy days and sticky nights. A quick tip – look at www.weather.com before you leave. We are talking 4,000 foot elevations here. 70′s (f) is normal daily temperature with night requiring a light jacket and that is in August in the states.
To complete the cerebral understanding, ask a cab driver to take you to a unique attraction called Mapa en Relieve Guatemala. It is a topographical model of Guatemala and it will make your brain finally understand why the weather is so pleasant and cool most of the time.
It costs about $5 to get in (less for locals) and is well worth the 15 minutes it takes a a self guided tour.
Carmelo – our guide who speaks ENGLISH and works outside the Camino Real hotel in Zona 10 in Guatemala did an excellent job at explaining everything.
The entire tour cost 300 Quetzals (about $26) and lasted 2.5 hours throughout Guatemala City. The Guatemala Gringo strongly suggests that you find a guide such as Carmelo to help you.
