This Central America gem offers beautiful rainforests, live volcanos, and timeless adventure. It is the perfect budget friendly backpacking destination for friends or solo travelers with countless activities! Keep reading for a few of our recommendations in Antigua, Guatemala.

Acatenango Volcano

This volcano is notorious in volcano for its loud and bursting live eruptions, shooting stars, and heavenly sunrise. This trek is a must on any trip to Guatemala. Lucky for you, if you’re unable to do the 6-8 hour hike up the mountain, you have the option to book a tour with a jeep up the mountain and meet your friends at the top! This turns the hike into a 45 minute walk on a flat surface up to the mountain where you will have no shortage of amazing views!

Hobbitenango

Fans of “Lord of the Rings,” will love this Hobbit themed park with many view points of the mountains, hobbit holes, swings, and archery. This the perfect place to enjoy a drink, take pictures, and enjoy the scenery in a creative way!

ATV and Coffee Tour

Book an ATV tour through local villages and up to a coffee farm. Explore the cultural side of Guatemala as your ride through small villages surrounding Antigua, trek up the mountain, and end your journey at a coffee farm where you can sip delicious coffee with a view and learn about coffee cultivation in Guatemala!

]]> While the era of colonization left a lot of painful scars in Central America, what is undeniable is that a wealth of architectural treasures remain behind from this period of Spanish rule in the region. Still today, some of the cities and towns built hundreds of years ago during this time stand.

Check out these three beautiful colonial cities in Central America for a taste of a time long gone.

Granada, Nicaragua

On the shores of Lake Nicaragua sits Granada, a small city of just over 100,000 people that is often considered the country’s most beautiful municipality. The dramatic orange and yellow Granada Cathedral towers above colorful buildings in the city’s old town, showing off the city’s beauty.

Antigua, Guatemala

In the volcanic mountainous region of southern Guatemala stands Antigua, the country’s best-preserved colonial town. The 17th-century Santa Catalina archway, as well as the city’s numerous religious buildings, have all been preserved immaculately despite earthquakes and other natural disasters.

Leon, Nicaragua

Leon’s colonial area might not be as big as Antigua and Granada’s, but its centerpiece, the dramatic Assumption Cathedral, is worth the trip alone. Built in the late 1700s, this is one of the best still-standing examples of colonial baroque architecture.

]]> Guatemala is a small Central American country located just to the south of Mexico. Although the country as a whole isn’t particularly popular with tourists, the city of Antigua Guatemala is one of the most unforgettable visits for any traveler to Latin America.

Antigua Guatemala is a small city of only 45,000 people, but the treasure that it possesses is some of the most well-preserved Spanish colonial architecture in all of Spain’s former colonies.

Antigua Guatemala, in fact, has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage site due to the amazing state of conservation of the Baroque colonial architecture that is located there.

As we all know, many of the buildings that the Spanish built in their colonies were cathedrals and churches. One can visit many stunning examples of missionary cathedrals in Antigua Guatemala, including the colorful Iglesia de la Merced.

Nearly all of the center of the city’s architecture is protected and dates back to the days of Spanish rule, and its tapestry of bright colors and ornate facades are truly a sight to behold.

Antigua Guatemala’s natural setting makes it all the more beautiful, as it’s located in the scenic central volcanic highlands of the country.

Visitors will never forget their trip to Antigua Guatemala and the feeling of traveling back in time.
