Quetzaltenango

Quetzaltenango is Guatemala's second largest city.
In the city center we admire a beautiful plaza surrounded by numerous neoclassical buildings which remind us of the golden years in the beginning of the 20th century when the production of coffee was predominant in this region.

Apart from being the agricultural heartland of the entire country, it's also of vital importance to the commercial activity in the Highlands.

Xela is a good base for exploring the region and some of the Indian Highland villages as Zunil, San Pedro el Alto and the hot springs of Fuentes Georginas.
