Helmet fit and briefing
Wear a helmet properly and pay attention to the safety briefing—handlers will adjust helmets and explain basic ATV controls before you go.
Closed-toe shoes only
Sturdy, closed-toe shoes provide ankle support and protect against mud or gravel on farm tracks.
Bring water and snacks
Carry at least 1 liter of water and a small snack—stops are educational not long rest breaks, and Guatemala’s higher elevation can dehydrate you faster.
Choose the right vehicle for you
If you’re inexperienced with off-road driving, opt for a buggy or join as a passenger; ATVs require basic handling and balance.
DOT-approved helmet
Provided by the operator but bring your own if you prefer a personalized fit and hygiene.
Sturdy closed-toe shoes
Protects feet from mud, rocks and the ATV’s footrests during off-road sections.
Sun protection (sunscreen, hat, sunglasses)
High-elevation sun is strong; protect skin and eyes during exposed stretches.
