Day trips from Antigua.
I'm staying in Antigua, GUA january 12 thru January 17. Is a day trip to Chichicastenango doable from Antigua?
How about day trip to Lake Atitlan from Antigua? I appreciate your advice. |
This is very doable from Antigua. There are tours that combine both destinations, if that is your desire. You will have a wonderful trip.

Thanks for response. Do you know how long does it take to get to Chchi or Lake Atitlan one way?
Thanks |
I did this trip some years ago and it was part of a tour. The bus stopped for breakfast, since it was an early start. I am thinking it was about 3 hours to Chichi with the stop (but I may be inadvertently lying).
The usual recommendation is that you go to Chichi on a market day. |
I did the Chichicastenanago trip in a private van, very interesting. The driving in those hillsĦĦĦĦ Our driver was a genious but I was scared all the way, ......

Graziella5b,
Thanks for your response. Did you have enough time to spend at the market in Chichi? I heard it does not go beyond a.m. hours. If it is, then I would only have a couple of hours for the market which may not be enough. Also, did any one venture to Lake Atitlan and back from Antigua in one day? Thanks. |
Antigua to Atitlan is about 2-1/2 to 3 hours so you could do it... Although overnighting there would be best to really appreciate the area.
I had some business appointments so I did Antigua - Panajachel - Xela - Panajachel in a day - definitely not recommended!!!! Cheers Andrew |
Hi Oleg, plenty of time in the market. Had lunch in a nice old colonial hotel, then came back to Antigua.

Thanks everyone

There is a very good article on towns near Lake Atitlan,on the website of the New York Times.
