- Shop for textiles and handicrafts - Local women in their embroidered huipiles (blouses) are walking advertisements for Guatemala’s textile heritage.
- Caoba Farms - Just 15 minutes from Antigua is Caoba Farms, an organic farm with a café serving up mouthwatering local Guatemalan fare, often with live music.
Places of Interest
- Cerro De La Cruz (20 mins) - This quaint city was rebuilt after the earthquakes of the 18th century on a grid pattern inspired by the Italian Renaissance.
- El Arco de Santa Catalina (5 mins) - Its arabesque-patterned stucco is evidence of the Moorish design trend in Spain at the time. The attached former monastery is also worth a look.
- Parque Central (10 mins) - Buzzing with activity, and bordered by cathedrals, fountains, trees and colonial buildings, the plaza is the best place to get a feel for the town.
- Church of San Francisco (15 mins) - Its spectacular colonial architecture, grand courtyard and ruined monastery make it an incredibly photogenic place to visit.

August 2021Beautiful Apartment - Great Location
We stayed in this beautiful 2 bed 2 bath apartment in Antigua in August and absolutely loved it. It is located about 10 minutes outside of the main square and is super accessible walking or taking a 2 dollar uber to anywhere you want to go! It is in a part of the town that is more local but super awesome to explore with yummy street food on the corner almost every night! The patio had a great view of the volcanos! The kitchen was well stocked with spices and olive oil which made it easy to cook a few things when we needed! I would highly recommend a stay here and our group will definitely be returning! ”
