Our commitment to accuracy, transparency, and editorial independence

Our goal is to be your most trusted resource for Antigua Guatemala travel planning, and we take that responsibility seriously.

Our Mission

We exist to help travelers—especially those from the United States—plan memorable, safe, and authentic trips to Antigua Guatemala. We provide practical, honest, and up-to-date information based on real experience and thorough research.

We believe travel guides should be useful, not promotional. Our content is designed to answer your questions, solve your problems, and help you make informed decisions.

How We Create Content

Research & Experience

Our content is based on firsthand experience in Antigua Guatemala, combined with extensive research. We visit the places we write about, test the routes we recommend, and verify the information we share.

Local Knowledge

We maintain relationships with local guides, hotel owners, tour operators, and residents to ensure our information reflects current conditions and local perspectives.

Practical Focus

Every guide is written to answer specific questions travelers have. We focus on actionable information: how to get there, what it costs, what to expect, and what to avoid.

Honest Recommendations

We recommend only what we genuinely believe is worth your time and money. If something isn't worth visiting, we'll tell you. If there are downsides to a popular attraction, we'll mention them.

Fact-Checking & Accuracy

Verification Process

Before publishing, we verify key facts including prices, opening hours, contact information, and travel logistics. We cross-reference information from multiple sources when possible.

Regular Updates

Travel information changes. We regularly review and update our content to ensure accuracy. When we learn of changes, we update our guides promptly.

Corrections

If we make a mistake, we correct it quickly and transparently. We welcome feedback from readers who notice outdated or incorrect information.
