A review of this place — 2 years ago
Antigua is a nice little town only about an hour from Guatemala City and the airport. It seems to be a hven for expats and college students wanting to travel and spend some time learning Spanish. Many others simply pass through. The accomodations are nice and cheap, too. There is also plenty to do – you can trek on a volcano, take kayaking or mountain bike tours, it is also a great place to set your “home base” while seeing other places in the country. Most places will arrange an airport shuttle for you for just a few bucks if you ask.
