Flights to Guatemala from the UK require connections, typically taking 12-16 hours. Most routes go via Miami, Houston or Madrid, with American Airlines, United and Iberia offering the best connections.
La Aurora International Airport in Guatemala City serves as the main gateway. From there, domestic flights reach Flores near the famous Tikal ruins in around an hour.
UK citizens can stay in Guatemala for up to 90 days without a visa, shared across the CA-4 region. The Guatemalan Quetzal is the local currency, though US dollars are widely accepted.
