Touring the Antigua Guatemala Villages
I am glad to see more tours around the villages of Antigua Guatemala where visitors get a change to observe and experience the #RealGuatemala.

Sheltering from the Rain at the Muni
What to do while it rains? Here are some of the suggestions by our loyal readers. NYChapin: I don’t do much when it rains, but I am often overwhelmed by a sensation that all things dear to my heart, from which I have been separated either by time or distance, are as close to me … Read more
North by Northwest
Often I see visitors to Antigua Guatemala getting lost or asking for directions. It’s kind of interesting since La Antigua Guatemala is such small town, smaller than many neighbourhoods in the large metropolis, less than a 10-block grid. I imagine that if one was using Google Maps or Apple Maps on a smartphone it would … Read more
Walking Is Still The Best Way to Get to Know Antigua
As I mentioned in “Nobody walks in LA…” in Antigua Guatemala is the opposite. People enjoy walking and with such small grid (about 10×10 block), you can certainly do just about all your chores faster by walking than by driving. Besides many blocks are one-way only which means you have to drive four to six … Read more

Surely enough, riding bicycles is quite possibly one of the best ways to get to see all of Antigua Guatemala and its villages.

Asian Tourists Have Arrived to Antigua Guatemala
…it feels sooo good to know that I’ll be back in one of my favorite cities in the world !! ( though for me it’s more like a nice little village actually, cause people are so kind and open, everyone says hello, you can always find strangers to chat with in Parque Central and when you’re there for two weeks, you always seem to meet the same people all over town almost every day. I so love
Take My Photo or Simple Rainy Season Vista
Call it synchronicity or better yet, serendipity because that’s the story behind this simple rainy season vista. For a while now I have decided I wanted to take a photograph of a corner while leaving enough of the perpendicular street and the next block on the frame to make an interesting composition. Think of it … Read more
