Nice City.... by Ardillon86

I really enjoyed going to Quetzaltenango (Xela), because of the climate and the old Spanish architectural influence. If you want a nice place to visit, without traveling in “fear,” then this is a good place to hgo in Guatemala.

Xela! by Kenny Peere

I stayed here for one night. And by coincidence, that night was the finals of the guatemalan football league. Xela won 4-1. At first we didn’t know what was happening, but it sure was fun to see all these people go crazy. Then I asked them what was happening, and it made a lot clear to me. I was invited by a couple of locals to join them, as they were going to continue celibrating in the pub where che guevara apparently planned the cuban revolution. although i had to get up at 4am the next morning, it was completely worth it.

A magical night with lots of friendly people!

Quetzaltenango (Xela) is a nice little city… people told me not to go becuase it would be cold and there was nothing to do there. I found it convenient to a lot of the volcano tours and a nice little town to spend about 2 or 3 nights. The bus trip there and back from Guatemala City can be a bit long – normally 4 or 5 hours but with recent construction may take longer. If you are continuing your journey to a place like Huehuetenango or even onto Coban or Tikal, it’s worth stopping in.
