You can still see the Mayans in Antigua, Guatemala

#2月好去处2025 #Guatemala #Antigua Antigua in Guatemala is a must-visit for tourists. It is the ancient capital of Guatemala and was damaged by an earthquake. The whole city is paved with cobblestones, so you should wear appropriate shoes. December to April is the dry season, so the chances of seeing the volcano are higher, but it is inconvenient to travel when it rains. In fact, the city is not very big. If you don’t go shopping and just walk around, you can finish the tour in half a day. The houses throughout the city are colorful, so they look very photogenic. In my mind, the most special thing is not the colorful houses or volcanoes, but the Mayans. Because we used to think that the Mayans had disappeared, but that is not the case. Guatemala is the place with the largest Mayan settlement in the world (other places include El Salvador, Mexico, and Belize). Antigua and the shores of Lake Atitlan are places with relatively large Mayan settlements. At first I thought the Mayans here wore their own costumes just for tourists to see, but later as I traveled to other parts of Guatemala, I found that they really liked wearing their own costumes. The prices in Antigua are the highest in Guatemala, basically the same as in Hong Kong. What I remember most about this place is the fruit, because no matter whether it is the fruit cut on the street or bought in the market, none of them is rotten or not sweet. The strawberries here are only as big as a finger and are dark red in color, but they are not only sweet but also have a very special aroma. 🗓️Itinerary: You can take a taxi from the Capital Airport, the journey takes 1 and a half hours, if there is no traffic jam
