Guatemala

Conditional

Issuer: No permit for casual public photography; CONAP and IDAEH for commercial shoots at archaeological parks like Tikal; municipal permission in Antigua's historic center

Personal photography needs no permit, including visitor photography at Tikal. Commercial and production photography at archaeological and protected sites requires authorization from the managing agencies; fees and terms vary by site.

Regulated by the DGAC with registration for drones over 100 g; drones are banned at Tikal without explicit CONAP authorization, and Antigua restricts flights over the colonial core

Standard limits: 120 m altitude, line of sight, no night flights without lighting, no flights over crowds. Declare drones at customs. For depth, see Drone Authority.

Yes to photograph in public; consent norms are strong in Maya communities

Street photography is lawful. Ask before photographing people, especially children, in highland markets and villages; photographing children without permission is a serious local sensitivity.

Full, with conditions

Decree 33-98 Art. 64(d) permits reproducing artworks permanently exposed in public places, and building exteriors, when done in an art form distinct from the original and with the author, title, and location indicated. Photography of public sculpture and architecture qualifies. Wikimedia Commons classifies Guatemala as FoP OK.
