Resource Hub

Everything you need before, during, and after you book.

Get Registered

Two separate steps — registration and waiver are two different forms. Both are required to hold your spot alongside your deposit.

Entry Requirements

For U.S. passport holders traveling to Guatemala. Confirm against current guidance before you fly — requirements can change.

Visa

Not required for U.S. citizens for stays under 90 days.

Passport Validity

Guatemala's own rule is 6 months' validity from *entry*, but many airlines enforce 6 months' validity from your *return* date at check-in — renew with margin to avoid boarding issues.

Arrival / Entry Form

No pre-arrival digital declaration required (unlike Belize's iDeclare) as of this writing — [CONFIRM closer to departure, entry rules can shift].

Vaccinations

No mandatory vaccinations for entry from the U.S. [CONFIRM with a travel clinic — routine + any destination-specific recommendations].

Getting There

Fly into Guatemala City; Eve's team handles the ground transfer from there.

Airport

La Aurora International Airport (GUA), Guatemala City.

Transfer to Antigua

Under 25 miles, but figure 1–3 hours depending on traffic. Group transfer is included — details and pickup windows in your welcome packet closer to departure.

Flight Timing

Currency & Money

Quetzal (GTQ) is the official currency. USD is widely accepted at tourist-facing businesses (not local markets); card surcharges are common. ATMs are available in Antigua.

Travel Insurance

Required for every guest — proof due within 7 days of booking. We strongly recommend a Cancel For Any Reason (CFAR) add-on. These are a starting point, not an endorsement — shop around for what fits you.
