About La Antigua Guatemala
Your trusted guide to exploring one of Central America's most beautiful colonial cities
Our Mission
La Antigua Guatemala was created with one simple goal: to help US travelers plan unforgettable trips to Antigua Guatemala with honest, practical, and up-to-date information.
We know that planning a trip to a new destination can be overwhelming. There's so much conflicting information online, outdated blog posts, and generic travel advice that doesn't actually help you make decisions.
That's why we built this guide. We wanted to create a resource that answers the real questions travelers have: How many days do I need? Where should I stay? Is it safe? What's the best way to get there? Should I hike Acatenango?
Our content is based on real experience, local knowledge, and honest recommendations. We don't sugarcoat things, and we don't recommend places or activities we wouldn't do ourselves.
