Rules in force · 6Cobbled streets and high kerbs
- Guatemala ↗Check entry rules for your passport with Guatemala's Migration Institute or a Guatemalan consulate. Guatemala shares a Central America border agreement (CA-4) with El Salvador, Honduras and Nicaragua, so your permitted stay may count across all four.
- Guatemala ↗Hike volcanoes (Acatenango, Pacaya) only with registered guides and check eruption alerts; Fuego is highly active.
- Guatemala ↗Avoid public chicken buses between cities: they are frequent targets of robbery. Use tourist shuttles or private transport.
- Antigua and the central highlands ↗Check volcano alert levels for Fuego before any hike or road trip; Fuego is highly active.
- Antigua Guatemala ↗Cobbled streets and high kerbs: bags go from the shuttle to the door, never on a walk.
- Antigua Guatemala ↗Volcano hikes (Acatenango, Pacaya) and the Cerro de la Cruz viewpoint: go with a registered guide or a tour, and check eruption alerts for Fuego first.
