Most first-time travellers who are backpacking Guatemala will start their trip in Antigua. This is a classic colonial town with beautiful neighbourhoods to stay at, and a great place to kick back or wander around the cobblestone streets. You’ll find quite a few hostels in Antigua as well, which makes it a great hang out spot for backpackers from all over the world.
I was looking forward to visit this place for quite a bit. I knew it’s the starting point if you want to climb Acatenango an inactive volcano next to El Fuego, the most active volcano in whole Americas.
