If you’re after day-trip inspiration, we’ve got a couple of ideas. Situated 19 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. Don’t forget about Santiago Atitlan either! Just 25 miles away, San Pedro Volcano, Santiago Atitlán and Atitlan Volcano are non-negotiable stops here.
