The open road is calling, and Amatitlan is an awesome base to kick-start your journey. Situated 4 miles from downtown, the first thing you’ll need to pick up is the key to one of our superb rental vehicles. A full-size car will get you around Villa Nueva in total comfort — or perhaps you want to head off the beaten track and explore lesser-known areas with a powerful four-wheel drive. If you want to easily zip around the city, we’d recommend going for an economy car. They might not be as spacious, but they’ll be wonderful at gliding into those tight parking lots.
