1. This tour will start by meeting with one of our expert tour guides in the Central Park of Xela, right in front of the Cathedral. Please meet each other at 9:45 AM so that you can be on time to get the trolley bus that will depart just a few blocks away from that point. This is the best meeting point as it is the central area of Xela and is very easy to get there from any point. Happy travel!

About Quetzaltenango

Quetzaltenango, known as Xela, is Guatemala's second city, a highland K'iche' Maya centre with a neoclassical square, volcano views and hot springs.

Quetzaltenango, shortened by locals to Xela, lies at about 2,300 metres in Guatemala's western highlands, ringed by volcanoes. It is the second-largest city in the country and a centre of the K'iche' Maya, with a calm, cool, provincial feel. The Parque Centroamérica, the main square, is framed by neoclassical buildings and a cathedral whose old colonial facade has been kept.
