Discovering Guatemala's second city, Quetzaltenango (aka Xela)

Harry D. You've of course heard of Tikal, Antigua, and Guatemala City. But 2,330 metres (7,644 feet) up in the western highlands just two or so hours from the capital, this country’s second largest city (pop. around 225,000) is a dynamic, untouristy trove that not only has a lot to offer on its own terms but is also a great jumping off point for other attractions, including Lake Atitlán and several of Guatemala's awesome ecotourism wonders. read post read post

Chichicastenango in '4 of Latin America's Most Fascinating Festivals'

If you’re planning on choosing a holiday with a whole new sense of adventure, there seems to be a huge number of places still available to surprise - even shock and stun - the most jaded traveler. Yet while the temples of southeast Asia, vast canyons of North America, and unmistakable coastlines of Europe are all fantastic places to lose yourself for a week or two, one continent stands out from all the rest as a partygoer’s dream: Central and South America. We’ve all heard of the blowouts that…

Antigua/Lake Atitlán cited in 'Romantic Valentine's Day Activities In/Near 26 Iberia Destinations'

Sure, going out for an intimate dinner à deux is pretty much everyone's default on this day for lovers. But to make Valentine's Day extra special, seek out an experience that will make it truly memorable for years to come. High and low, on land and water, laid-back and high-adrenaline; simple and elaborate; cheap and pricey - there's something here for every couple! read post

Livingston cited in '12 Top Destinations for African-Diaspora Travel'

Welcome to February! Since 1970, it's also been Black History Month in the USA, and since 1995 in Canada, as well (whereas it's observed in October in the United Kingdom, Ireland, and the Netherlands). And though the reason for the African diaspora was tragic and horrific - the brutal, centuries-long trafficking of human slaves - it has also enriched many parts of the world, and indeed, world culture as a whole. So what better way to kick BHM off than with a look at a dozen of the most…

Looking for a reasonable winter rental

We are looking for place to spend Jan.-Feb. Expat community or typically local environment. Ideally, a property we can take care of in exchange for reduced rent, but all offers welcome.

Just got back yesterday from Guatemala, and it was an amazing experience -- some expected (like magical Tikal) and some unexpected (the food!). I'll be blogging about it soon. But in the meantime, let me say that anyone reading this who hasn't been to Guatemala should put it on his or her bucket list immediately!
David Paul Appell October 14, 2010 at 11:17pm

I'm going to be in Antigua and Guatemala City for Central America Travel Market next week (flying down there Sunday), as well as visiting Tikal, and would love suggestions on what's new or what's not to miss. And if any of you living in-country want to meet up, that would be great, please do give me a shout...

I want the Guatemalan Tourism Institute to start responding to emails from visiting journalists. I had an assignment from a major airline magazine last year and couldn't get a response despite numerous efforts to set up a press trip!

The Guatemalan Tourism Institute wants more tour ships to stop at Guatemala. Do you?
