Dive into Guatemala with this guide to Antigua! In this guide, I'll share some of my favorite restaurants, activities, cafes to work from, shops, and more. This is from my perspective as a digital nomad living in and exploring Guatemala. In addition to the classic restaurants and activities, I love finding places to shop local artisans, unique wellness experiences, and veggie-friendly eats. You can find all of that and more in the guide below! Also included are a couple hotels that I've stayed in myself or friends stayed in and highly recommend. I hope this helps you plan an epic trip to Antigua!
