Guatemala Maya Route

Motorbikes
For this trip we use Honda Tornado 250cc engines

Difficulty of the trip
During this trip through Guatemala we do not travel to high altitudes or through extremely deserted areas. The daily distances are not long, so there is plenty of time and opportunity to stop along the way to take photos or visit villages.

Off Road
Only a small part of the journey is on unpaved roads and/or paths. These routes are not very difficult and very easy to do without any off-road experience or off-road training in advance. If the weather is worse than expected, these off-road days can become very difficult.

Clothing
A helmet, motorcycle jacket with protective gloves, good sturdy (motorcycle) trousers with protection or with loose knee protection and sturdy high (mountain) shoes are mandatory. It can get very hot in the lower parts of the journey. A summer motorcycle jacket with protection is therefore recommended. On colder parts of the mountains you can wear extra clothing under your jacket if necessary. Good sunglasses are also useful and a helmet with a visor that protects against dust. The dry season is from November to April. And on the coast, temperatures of 35 degrees are very common all year round. However, in the mountains it can cool down considerably, especially in the evening. We plan our trips at the beginning of the rainy season. It is therefore possible that there will be some rain here and there, so you should take into account a possible rain shower.

Visa
You do not need to arrange a Visa in advance for Guatemala. Upon arrival you will receive a stamp in your passport that gives you permission to stay in the country for three months.

More details about the trip and what to take with you can be found in the travel manual that you will receive approximately one month before departure.
