According to travel websites such as Solo Traveler World and The Broke Backpacker, Antigua Guatemala is one of the most solo-traveler-friendly destinations in Central America.

From my own experience interacting with travelers in Antigua, I've noticed that a large percentage of visitors arrive on their own. The city's walkability, traveler community, cafés, hostels, and tours seem to make it easy for solo travelers to connect with others.

Have you visited Antigua solo? What was your experience?

Yes — rainy season in Guatemala is still worth it.

During rainy season, Guatemala is greener, and most days are usually sunny and fresher in the morning. Rain usually starts later in the afternoon, often around 3:00 p.m., unless there’s a tropical storm or hurricane.

Best things to do in the morning:

- Pacaya Volcano hike

- Hobbitenango

- Antigua

- Chichicastenango Market

- Lake Atitlán: visit San Juan, San Marcos, San Pedro, walk around Panajachel, visit the Nature Reserve, take a boat between villages, enjoy lake views, coffee shops, and local markets.

Tip: plan outdoor activities early, carry a light rain jacket, and leave extra time for transportation, especially in the afternoon.
