Lake Atitlan now - in February > Are there Mosquitos??

Country forums / Central America / Guatemala

We will be at Lake Atitlan next week = February. Are there mosquitos now??

Same question for Antigua, please?

Haven ever notice any in either place. It is usually bedbugs and fleas that you have to loo out for.

Was at the lake this past Sunday through Tuesday and there were a few. Here in Antigua they're starting to come out now as well as Sancuros.

When I was camping last summer up at Road America for the races, it was raining very heavy, and the mozzies still were flying around and killing small farm animals...Wisconsin and Minnesota have HUGE Mozzies compared to Central America...they look like F-14's...
