5 Best Performing Arts Venues in Quetzaltenango (Xelaju), The Highlands

The Buddha screens indie films many evenings (no fixed schedule) to the accompaniment of coffees and smoothies.

Enjoy a coffee, log on with your laptop, and enjoy the occasional movie night at Cinema Coffee Shop.

Cinema Paraíso is a small café that screens artsy films.

Cubatenango screens Latin American films on DVD each Tuesday and Thursday at 7 pm, and serves two-for-one Cuba Libres (rum and cokes) each evening from 6 to 8 pm.

We like cozy El Cuartito for its coffee and veggie snacks. It has an outdoor patio, but the inside is a lot warmer. Tuesday's "Alternative Film Night" gets underway at 7 pm.
