While you could easily spend days on end wandering the cobbled streets of the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Antigua Guatemala, it also worth venturing outside of the city to explore the surrounding area. Our top picks for what to do outside of the city itself include a visit to Chichicastenango, or 'Chichi' as it's known by the locals, which is a mountain village that has a brilliant traditional market twice a week; and Iximche archaeological site which is best seen on a helicopter trip from the city to admire these pre-Colombian ruins in all their glory.
