If you’re looking for a day-trip destination, we’ve got a couple of tips. Located 25 miles away, Quetzaltenango is worth jumping in the car for. Quetzaltenango Central Park, La Democracia Market and Monumento a la Marimba alone justify the drive out here. The locals will also probably point you toward Santiago Atitlan, 30 miles away. If you can only find time for one attraction here, let it be San Pedro Volcano. (But we’re also big fans of Santiago Atitlán and Atitlan Volcano.)
