📣 Hinweise für Reisende

Guatemala is a culturally diverse destination, blending Spanish settler and indigenous Maya cultures. It features varied scenery, including dense jungles, mountains, and volcanic areas, and is susceptible to seismic activity and hurricanes.

• Dress respectfully and observe local customs.
• Be aware of the natural volatility (seismic activity, hurricanes).
• Use formal language and greetings with strangers.
• Always ask for permission before photographing people, especially indigenous individuals.
• When addressing strangers, use formal titles (Señor, Señora, Usted) and formal greetings, particularly in rural areas. **Photography:** Always obtain explicit permission before photographing children or women, especially in indigenous communities, to protect privacy and avoid misunderstanding.
