La Antigua, Guatemala
As the gateway between Mexico and Central America, Guatemala is a portal to another world. The lush countryside is dotted with timeless architecture, cobblestone streets, archeological ruins, and impressive volcanoes. Guatemala was home to the classic Mayan civilization, and the remains of this powerful empire can be seen throughout the country. TEFL trainees based in La Antigua will have plenty of opportunities to explore the best of Guatemala, from the beautiful Lake Atitlan, to the Mayan ruins of Tikal, to the relaxing beaches of the Pacific coast.
La Antigua is located in the central highlands of Guatemala at an elevation of 5,000 feet above sea level. Characterized by Spanish colonial architecture and surrounded by volcanoes, La Antigua is considered Guatemala’s most popular tourist destination. The central plaza is located in the heart of the city, and its tree-lined park offers plenty of benches and pleasant places for watching the constant bustle of locals and international visitors. TEFL trainees will enjoy exploring La Antigua’s shops, boutiques, and handicraft markets during their free time. The city also offers a lively nightlife, and traditional or modern music can be enjoyed in numerous bars and cafes.
