Bistro Puertas del Cielo

In Guatemala, every day is a new adventure. Picture yourself working from a cozy café in the colonial city of Antigua, surrounded by cobblestone streets and colorful facades. On weekends, you could be hiking up active volcanoes, exploring chaotic local markets, or diving into crystal-clear waters. The country’s diverse landscapes—from rain forests and serene lakes to rugged mountains and black beaches—offer endless opportunities for exploration and inspiration. This guide is a 1-month itinerary for digital nomads, taking you from Xela, to Lake Atitlán, to El Paredón, and Antigua where you can hike the volcano Acatenango, then pursue your journey north to Semuc Champey and Flores. I did this trip in May 2023 and would recommend it to everyone. Just an insight in how I build this guide. It is based on my experience, I was traveling with my partner. We were working from Monday to Thursday and would travel in the weekends. I will add the following sign 🏠, to the places we stayed but I will also add a cheaper option and a more expensive option, that I found either on hostelworld, booking.com or Airbnb with good reviews.

Thank you in advance and I hope you will enjoy Guatemala as much as I did.

Flores, a charming island town on Lake Petén Itzá, is the perfect base for exploring northern Guatemala. Wander its colorful streets, enjoy delicious local food, and relax in cozy lakeside accommodations. From visiting the ancient ruins of Tikal to kayaking and sunset boat rides, there’s no shortage of adventure!
