Guatemala Travel Diary | Solo trip to Guatemala (Antigua)

05/01/2026 | Reageer

Hi everyone 🤍Welcome back to a new travel diary. This time I’m taking you with me to a destination that had been high on my list for a very long time: Guatemala. And honestly? Now that I’ve been there, I don’t understand why it took me so long. Antigua is also a UNESCO World Heritage city, and you really feel that when you’re there. The colorful colonial buildings, cobblestone streets, historic churches, and the surrounding volcanoes give the city a timeless atmosphere, as if the past and present exist side by side. It’s a place that invites you to slow down, look around, and really take it all in.
Hi allemaal 🤍 Welkom terug bij een nieuwe travel diary. Dit keer neem ik jullie mee naar een bestemming die al zó lang hoog op mijn lijst stond: Guatemala. En eerlijk? Ik snap nu niet waarom ik hier niet eerder naartoe ben gegaan. Antigua is daarnaast een UNESCO Werelderfgoedstad, en dat voel je in alles. De kleurrijke koloniale gebouwen, de kinderkopjes, de historische kerken en de vulkanen die de stad omringen geven Antigua een tijdloze sfeer, alsof verleden en heden hier moeiteloos samenkomen. Het is een plek die je uitnodigt om te vertragen en echt om je heen te kijken.

Day 1 ( 10/30) – Cancun, Guatemala City & Antigua – 20-11-2025

Guatemala is relatively close to Quintana Roo in Mexico, yet it wasn’t until my ninth (!) trip to that region that I finally made my way there. Every time before, it stayed a plan for “next time.” Until now. This time, it simply felt right. Because I couldn’t IPB this flight (use crew tickets), I flew fully paid from Cancún to Guatemala City. And yes, even though the flight is just over an hour long and didn’t include checked luggage, the tickets were quite expensive. But some trips instantly feel worth it. This was one of them.

Although the trip itself only lasted eight days, I decided to divide it into three parts. Each part felt so different, so unique, that it deserved its own story.

The journey started with a night in Cancún. Leaving Tulum that early would have been too intense. Funny enough, Cancún is a place I had skipped on all my previous Mexico trips, and only now truly discovered. It felt like an unexpected little surprise, and I already know I want to come back.

Around noon, I flew from Cancún Airport to Guatemala City with Volaris. The flight took about 1 hour and 10 minutes. Upon arrival, you need to fill out a form, which takes a bit of time, but fortunately there’s no need for a separate visa. At the airport, shared shuttles to Antigua were announced. I paid around €18.50, and after about an hour and a half we arrived. During the ride, I met Berith, a German traveler. One of those effortless connections that happen while traveling. We stayed in touch and decided to meet up right after checking in.

I stayed at Ojalá Hostel, a beautiful place in a great location, with a lovely breakfast included. Unfortunately, my room was right next to the café, so a good night’s sleep wasn’t really possible. I genuinely think my experience would have been very different with another room. That said, the hostel itself is warm, stylish, and definitely worth considering.

Through the group chat Dutchies in Mexico, I also met Ella, a Dutch girl. Together with Berith, we decided to find a cozy coffee spot. Antigua is known for its great coffee and charming cafés, and you feel that immediately. We quickly realized that Antigua is quite small; you can see most of it within a few hours. But that’s actually part of its charm. My advice? Slow down. Take your time hopping from café to lunch spot, without rushing anywhere.

After wandering around and taking some photos, Berith and I grabbed another coffee in the early evening at Fat Cat – without a doubt the best coffee in Antigua, in my opinion. Small tip: pay in cash whenever possible, as paying by credit card was almost always more expensive.

In the evening, Ella, Berith, and I met up again, and they brought along some people they knew. We started at Sky Bar Antigua, where we repeatedly saw the Fuego volcano erupt. Truly magical. Watching nature quietly remind you of its power was something I won’t forget. Later, we visited a few more bars, including Café No Sé. With a big mix of Australians, Canadians, Germans, and Dutch travelers, we laughed so much. One of those evenings that perfectly captures why I love traveling – because, for a moment, you get to be part of each other’s stories.

Guatemala ligt relatief dichtbij Quintana Roo in Mexico, maar toch ben ik er pas tijdens mijn negende (!) reis in die regio naartoe gereisd. Elke keer bleef het bij “volgende keer”. Tot nu. Deze keer voelde het gewoon kloppend. Omdat ik deze vlucht niet kon IPB’en (crew tickets gebruiken), vloog ik volbetaald van Cancún naar Guatemala-Stad. En ja, ondanks dat het maar iets meer dan een uur vliegen is, zónder ruimbagage, waren de tickets behoorlijk duur. Maar sommige reizen voel je meteen: dit was het waard.

Hoewel de reis in totaal maar acht dagen duurde, heb ik hem opgesplitst in drie delen. Elk deel voelde namelijk zo anders, zo eigen, dat het zijn eigen verhaal verdiende.

De reis begon met een nachtje in Cancún. Zo vroeg vertrekken vanuit Tulum zou simpelweg te intens zijn geweest. Grappig genoeg is Cancún een plek die ik in al mijn Mexico-reizen altijd heb overgeslagen, en nu pas écht heb ontdekt. Het voelde als een kleine verrassing, en ik weet nu al: hier wil ik nog eens terug.

Rond het middaguur vloog ik vanaf Cancún Airport naar Guatemala City met Volaris. De vlucht duurde ongeveer 1 uur en 10 minuten. Bij aankomst moet je nog een formulier invullen, wat even tijd kost, maar gelukkig is er geen visum nodig. Op de luchthaven werden shuttles naar Antigua omgeroepen, gedeelde taxi’s met andere reizigers. Ik betaalde hier ongeveer €18,50 voor en na zo’n anderhalf uur rijden kwam ik aan. In de taxi raakte ik aan de praat met Berith, een Duitse reiziger. Eén van die ontmoetingen die zó vanzelf gaan. We hielden contact, en besloten na het inchecken meteen samen op pad te gaan.

Ik verbleef in hostel Ojalá. Een prachtige plek, sfeervol en centraal gelegen, met een fijn ontbijt inbegrepen. Helaas lag mijn kamer direct naast het café, waardoor echt goed slapen er niet in zat. Ik denk oprecht dat mijn ervaring anders was geweest met een andere kamer. Maar los daarvan: de plek zelf is warm, mooi en absoluut de moeite waard.

Via de groepsapp Dutchies in Mexico leerde ik ook Ella kennen, een Nederlandse meid. Samen met Berith en haar besloten we een koffietentje op te zoeken. Antigua staat bekend om zijn goede koffie en gezellige cafés — en dat voel je meteen. We kwamen er al snel achter dat Antigua best klein is; binnen een paar uur heb je de stad grotendeels gezien. Maar juist daardoor voelde het fijn. Geen haast, geen must-sees. Gewoon dwalen, zitten, praten, kijken.

Na wat rondslenteren en foto’s maken, dronken Berith en ik aan het begin van de avond nog een koffie bij Fat Cat – voor mij zonder twijfel de beste koffie van Antigua. Kleine tip: betaal zoveel mogelijk contant, want met creditcard was het vrijwel overal duurder.

’s Avonds kwamen Ella, Berith en ik weer samen, en zij namen ook mensen mee die zij kenden. We begonnen bij Sky Bar Antigua, waar we meerdere keren de Fuego-vulkaan zagen uitbarsten. Dat moment… magisch. Alsof de natuur even liet zien hoe krachtig en levend dit land is. Daarna gingen we langs verschillende barretjes, waaronder Café No Sé. Met een grote mix van Australiërs, Canadezen, Duitsers en Nederlanders hebben we zó veel gelachen. Zo’n avond die precies laat zien waarom ik zo van reizen houd,  omdat je even deel mag zijn van elkaars verhalen.

Day 2 ( 11/30) – Antigua – 21-11-2025

Day two was my one full day in Antigua. Very early on day three, I would be starting the Acatenango overnight hike — an experience I’ll be sharing much more about with you soon.

The night before, I met my roommate: Lea from France. A girl with the same dream of becoming a flight attendant, and someone I instantly clicked with. It’s funny how traveling brings the right people together at exactly the right moment. Lea decided to join me for the day.

After enjoying the included breakfast at our hostel, we headed out together. With my camera in hand, we took photos of each other, wandered through the streets, and explored the city at a relaxed pace. No rush, no plan, just soaking it all in.

We eventually went to Garden Café, a cozy spot that kept being recommended to us. And honestly, it really does feel like you’re having coffee in someone’s flower garden. Such a lovely atmosphere, definitely a must-visit.

For lunch, we went to Rincóncito Antigüeño, a popular, very local restaurant with a huge line outside. The menu is full of traditional Guatemalan dishes, and the prices were unbelievable. I think we paid under 40 quetzales total for food and drinks, insanely cheap. A small side note though: the rest of Antigua wasn’t nearly as cheap as I had been told, and I definitely went over my daily budget almost every day. Worth it, though.

Later that afternoon, we grabbed another coffee at La Parada, another spot that’s well-known and loved by locals.

I ended my time in Antigua by joining Berith again, along with a group of Germans, the perfect moment to practice my German and enjoy one last evening together.

Dag twee was mijn enige volledige dag in Antigua. Heel vroeg in de ochtend van dag drie zou ik namelijk beginnen aan de Acatenango overnight hike, een ervaring waar ik jullie binnenkort veel meer over ga vertellen.

De avond ervoor leerde ik mijn kamergenootje kennen: Lea uit Frankrijk. Een meisje met dezelfde droom om stewardess te worden, en iemand met wie het meteen klikte. Zo’n ontmoeting die vanzelf gaat. Lea besloot deze dag met mij mee op pad te gaan.

Na het inbegrepen ontbijt in ons hostel trokken we samen de stad in. Met mijn camera bij de hand maakten we foto’s van elkaar, slenterden door de straten en verkenden Antigua op een rustig tempo. Geen haast, geen vast plan, gewoon kijken, voelen en genieten.

We belandden bij Garden Café, een plek die ons door veel mensen werd aangeraden. En terecht: het voelt echt alsof je koffie drinkt in iemands bloementuin. Warm, groen en gezellig. Absoluut een aanrader.

Voor de lunch gingen we naar Rincóncito Antigüeño, een populaire en lokale hotspot waar altijd een lange rij staat. De kaart staat vol traditionele Guatemalteekse gerechten, en de prijzen waren bijna niet te geloven. Volgens mij betaalden we nog geen 40 quetzales voor eten en drinken samen, bizar goedkoop. Kleine sidenote: de rest van Antigua vond ik eigenlijk helemaal niet zo goedkoop als vooraf werd verteld, en ik ging bijna elke dag over mijn budget heen. Maar eerlijk? Dat was het waard.

Later op de middag dronken we nog een koffie bij La Parada, ook een bekende plek onder locals.

Ik sloot mijn tijd in Antigua af door nog één keer aan te sluiten bij Berith en een groep Duitsers, een perfect moment om mijn Duits te oefenen en samen nog even te genieten.


Thank you so much for reading 🤍Antigua is a truly beautiful city. I’d recommend it for a short stay, but it’s definitely not a place you should skip when traveling through Guatemala.
Dank je wel voor het lezen 🤍Antigua is een prachtige stad. Ik raad deze bestemming aan voor een kort verblijf, maar je moet haar zéker niet overslaan tijdens een reis door Guatemala.

(Swipe) The Souls of Guatemala & Mexico Nov/Dec 2025 🪽🐦‍🔥 I’m beyond grateful to have a lot of close and also new friends and acquaintances from around the world and can call Tulum my second home.

If I didn’t go to México on my own back in May 2022, my life would have been completely different. 

I’m extremely grateful (and privileged) to be able to travel the world as a WOMAN on my own. Although I still live with my parents as in my country it’s hard to afford housing as a single person - I count my blessings and use that form of ‘space’ in my favor as a form of freedom.

The more I travel, the more gratitude I preach and feel, but also realize how only a small group of people (mainly women) is able to go out and explore. 

I started solo travelling back in 2017, and after 8 years, I and have a big worldwide group of close friends and lifechanging experiences. 

One of the first things I have learned from travelling is that your soulmates don’t need to have a similar zipcode. 

Thank you all for existing 🤍🪽

(Swipe) The Souls of Guatemala & Mexico Nov/Dec 2025 🪽🐦‍🔥 I’m beyond grateful to have a lot of close and also new friends and acquaintances from around the world and can call Tulum my second home. If I didn’t go to México on my own back in May 2022, my life would have been completely different. I’m extremely grateful (and privileged) to be able to travel the world as a WOMAN on my own. Although I still live with my parents as in my country it’s hard to afford housing as a single person - I count my blessings and use that form of ‘space’ in my favor as a form of freedom. The more I travel, the more gratitude I preach and feel, but also realize how only a small group of people (mainly women) is able to go out and explore. I started solo travelling back in 2017, and after 8 years, I and have a big worldwide group of close friends and lifechanging experiences. One of the first things I have learned from travelling is that your soulmates don’t need to have a similar zipcode. Thank you all for existing 🤍🪽 Haven’t been able to take pics or tag everyone!

UNESCO world heritage surrounded by Volcanoes 🌋🇬🇹 Antigua - Guatemala

Solo in Guatemala 🇬🇹✨
I started my journey in the beautiful colonial city of Antigua, and it instantly stole my heart.

After a one-hour flight from Cancún and a short drive from Guatemala City, I arrived in a place full of colorful streets, historic architecture, lush gardens and the cutest coffee spots.

It felt surprisingly social for solo travellers, with boutique hotels and hostels everywhere. I felt safe walking around on my own, even early in the mornings and evenings, and everything is close enough to explore on foot.

I spent about three days here, spread out over my trip. Two nights at the beginning and one night at the end. The perfect place to slow down, recharge, and meet people along the way.

Would you add Antigua to your solo travel list? 🤍 #guatemala #antigua #laantigua #solotravel

I almost gave up during the first hour of this volcano hike, but what I saw at the top changed everything 🌋 90 second vlog! ⏰

One of the hardest yet most rewarding things I’ve ever done while traveling.
A few weeks ago, I hiked a volcano, and it pushed me far outside my comfort zone, physically and mentally.

We started the day slow, with breakfast in beautiful Antigua, before being transported to the headquarters to gear up and mentally prepare. The first hour was brutal: steep, cold, and way less oxygen. I was close to quitting. But with lots of breaks, support from the group, and a porter for my backpack, it slowly got better.

This hike is no joke. Bring plenty of water, snacks, layers, walking sticks, and altitude pills; the climate and altitude differences really test you. At basecamp there was no water or electricity, so you truly go back to basics. Cold nights, thin air, and warm cacao shared with people from all around the world after a 4–5 hour climb.

I was completely exhausted, so the only extra hike I did was a short 20-minute climb to the viewpoint, and it was more than worth it. Seeing the volcano erupt every 10 minutes was unreal. One of the most mind-blowing experiences of my life. Even at night, waking up in our shared cabin, we could see it glowing in the dark.

The next morning, after coffee and breakfast, we started the descent. About 2.5 hours down - fast, music in my ears, and honestly… pure fun.

This hike reminded me that the hardest paths often lead to the most unforgettable moments.

Would you try this? 🌋✨
Let me know in the comments.

(Swipe and read) This took me hours to create today ⏰ - 2025 in monthly flashbacks.

2025 was a year of growth, a year where I told myself after a big setback in 2024, to do everything I love. And even though it did not give me the results I wished for. I am proud of the things I did and those who I met along the way. 

2025 was a year that looks perfect on the instagram feed (and nothing I post is fake!) - but never forget instagram is a highlight reel. Beyond a lot of beautiful highlights, there were a lot of equally deep lows. 

I am far from where I want to be in life. I am still not out of a very toxic environment, I still don’t have my dreamjob, and I still live with my parents - single (which I enjoy very much)

But one day it will reveal why life happened this way. Setbacks are often stepping stones for bigger things coming. I learned that the environments I was in, are not the ones I should be in. Pageantry and carreer wise - it opened my eyes in how hard it is to fight a system which is politic and not made to be beaten. 

I deserve to thrive in an environment with people that appreciate authenticity, people are respectful to each other and want to see each other win, instead of trying to destroy everything that mirrors their inner insecurities 🪞

May 2026 - a Leo year ♌️ - bring the change I am praying for. 🧿

(Swipe and read) This took me hours to create today ⏰ - 2025 in monthly flashbacks.

2025 was a year of growth, a year where I told myself after a big setback in 2024, to do everything I love. And even though it did not give me the results I wished for. I am proud of the things I did and those who I met along the way. 

2025 was a year that looks perfect on the instagram feed (and nothing I post is fake!) - but never forget instagram is a highlight reel. Beyond a lot of beautiful highlights, there were a lot of equally deep lows. 

I am far from where I want to be in life. I am still not out of a very toxic environment, I still don’t have my dreamjob, and I still live with my parents - single (which I enjoy very much)

But one day it will reveal why life happened this way. Setbacks are often stepping stones for bigger things coming. I learned that the environments I was in, are not the ones I should be in. Pageantry and carreer wise - it opened my eyes in how hard it is to fight a system which is politic and not made to be beaten. 

I deserve to thrive in an environment with people that appreciate authenticity, people are respectful to each other and want to see each other win, instead of trying to destroy everything that mirrors their inner insecurities 🪞

May 2026 - a Leo year ♌️ - bring the change I am praying for. 🧿

Most incredible moment of 2025, and actually one of the most incredible of my life. Hiking the Acatenago volcano in Guatemala was one of the most challenging things I have ever done in my life, but the reward of pushing my own limits felt unreal. This climb and activity was on top of my bucketlist and for sure one of the most rewarding things of the year! 🌋

80 second solo travel vlog of Lake Atitlan in Guatemala - I had an incredible 3 night stay at @freecerveza - the best place to stay if you search for a social place around Lake Atitlan. 🇬🇹

Waking up to volcanoes on the horizon, vibrant villages by the water, and mist slowly rising from the lake… was pure magic 🌋

Every boat ride felt like a dream, every sunset a reminder to slow down. Guatemala surprised me, but Atitlán left a mark on my soul. 🌋💙

Missing my morning coffee’s in Mexico ☕️ One thing I love very much about Tulum - is the great amount of good brunch and coffee places. A lot of people think Tulum only exists of the city centre ‘Pueblo’, Tulum Beach and the hotel zone. While there are so many more places to explore like La Veleta and Aldea Zama - where you can find some of the cutest spots in town.

Embracing Authenticity | Defending Truth on my Miss World (Netherlands) journey in 2021, my core values and mission

Dutch version below – Hello everyone, I would like to share my truth, vision, and story with all of you, including the beliefs I stand for.

Nevertheless, I want to […]
