QUETZALTENANGO aka XELA IS GUATEMALA'S 2ND CITY LOCATED IN WESTERN GUATEMALA AMONG THE HIGHLANDS, A NICE CITY TO VISIT. IT IS ALSO HOME TO A LARGE K'ICHE' MAYA COMMUNITY.

THE AREA AROUND PARQUE CENTROAMERICA KINDA REMINDS ME OF AN ITALIAN CITY.

OUT IN THE DISTANCE THE SANTA MARIA VOLCANO TOWERS OVER THE SKYLINE.

Your climb up the volcano sounds like a real experience! You certainly managed to move around Guatemala and took in a lot of interesting sights on your trip!
