Some Information to Consider
Every journey begins with a single step, and you’ve just taken yours.
Thank you for taking it hand in hand with We Go Guatemala. Together, we’ll make sure your trip to Guatemala meet—then exceeds—your expectations.
Before taking off, you’ll need to provide us with colored copies of your passports and some additional information.
Make Sure Your Information Is Correct
It’s important that you look over your confirmation form and make sure the information is correct.
You probably know how to spell your name, but typos are known to plague the work of even the most skilled writers. You’ll also want to make sure the name you’re using on your documents is your legal name. Be sure to double check your date of birth, as well. There’s no fibbing allowed (your secret is safe with us).
For international travelers, you’ll want to make sure your passport is valid for at least six months after you return home. It should also have two or more empty pages.
Travel Insurance Is a Must
Insurance is generally a wise investment, and it’s no different for traveling.
Whether you need to cancel the trip or get sick and need medical attention, travel insurance can save the day—and your wallet. As the Chicago Tribune’s Jane Wooldridge explains, “any time you're putting up a substantive amount of money in nonrefundable expenses, you need to take insurance.”
Because we have your best interest in mind, we ask that you send us a copy of your travel insurance policy, so we know you’re protected.
In specific situations, such as pre-existing medical conditions, your travel insurance will need to be purchased within a set amount of time after you book your trip, depending on the insurance vendor.
Helpful Information for International Travelers
This isn’t a Sunday drive to the amusement park or a two-hour flight to Vegas. This is international travel, which requires its own set of preparations.
Along with a valid passport, U.S. travelers may need to meet other requirements. Here’s a couple of things you’ll need to keep in mind before traveling to Guatemala.
1. Vaccinations
Every country is different in the vaccinations it requires, if any. For traveling to Guatemala, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention suggests all travelers should receive their routine vaccines. This includes the MMR vaccine, the chickenpox vaccine and the polio vaccine, among others. It’s best to check the official website for details.
2. Visas
Many countries require visas to gain entry. For Guatemala, U.S. citizens do not need a visa for a stay of 90 days or less. So, unless you’re taking an unusually long trip, you won’t be needing a visa for your Guatemalan vacation.
3. Children
Children who are traveling with only one legal parent or no legal parent may need to present custody documents or written consent from both legal parents. Even though the requirements vary by country, it’s best to have the documents on hand, just in case.
