Antigua, Guatemala

Safety

Due to a high amount of robberies in the city take necessary precautions
(Brian Reski, L Squad 2012)

  • In Antigua, the most important thing you have to remember (per past teams) is to stay together as a group. There is very little violent crime, you just need to watch out mostly for pick-pockets. Also, be sure to keep your electronics, money, passport, etc in the lockers at the facility as the main doors are unlocked during the day. Don’t carry a large purse with you to the market. It is easy for things to get stolen in the large crowds.

Safety in Antigua, Guatemala
What do other Racers need to know in order to be safe? Current safety protocols/precautions in place? Any relevant issues/concerns? Any precautionary suggestions?

People’s Opinions

  1. Good Info to know. Thanks
  2. thank you for your comment, this is great to know when i will be in Guatemala this year
  3. Antigua was safe entire time our team was there, most people were friendly enough and wanted to help you out especially if you got lost like we did a couple if times.
  4. Thank you for your update!
  5. Was actually in the city Xenacoj for the month, but we went to Antigua on weekends for our off days, really cool city. Stayed at Hostal Antigueño (Christian and Iris are great). BIG WARNING though, 3 squadmates and I went to the cross park on the mountain (yes the famous spot overlooking the city) early one morning around 6 for sunrise worship and we were mugged. Hit with sticks by 3 creepy dudes in masks and bandanas covering their faces. Not hurt but had our iPhones stolen and my iPad taken. They ran off immediately after. I was on edge the next few weeks and we were shaken up for a little while. so be careful and just go during the designated park hours. We didn’t notice the sign with the hours on it.

  6. As mentioned above, Antigua is generally rather safe. We had two women have their purses sliced open in crowded locations, so it is best to keep a cross body bag in front of you or in your lap when crowds are heavy. Our host asked us to always be in our gated property by sunset, and asked that we do not go to Antigua when its dark. In a large group, evenings in Antigua would likely be safe, but out of respect for our host & a commitment to safety, we are always on our property by sun down!

  7. Heads up. If the ATM eats your card- DO NOT LEAVE. Its a scam. They put a cover over the actual ATM slot, so that it looks like any other internal ATM slot, then it eats your card, and a really nice person comes up and calls the bank for you, which in hindsight was kind of weird cause there is no phone number on the ATM. Hmmm. The person (in my case a lady) will pass the phone to whoever speaks spanish in your group and they will tell you to enter a bunch of numbers into the ATM so it will spit your card out. Then they will tell you to enter your pin number. Please don’t fall for it! Rookie mistake! They will then point you to the next block and tell you to go to the bank and file a report. STAY WITH YOUR GROUP. DO NOT FALL FOR IT. I denied my instincts and as soon as I left, I regretted it. I went back almost immediately, and the box over the slot was gone, as was my card. Don’t fall for it. Be wise. AND LISTEN TO YOUR INSTINCTS.

Ministry Summary

People’s Opinions

  1. We were at the Adventures Base here in Antigua. The staff are wonderful and really care about investing into us however they can! Take advantage of their wisdom! They are more than willing to hang out and do one on ones, as well as talk about their passions. It’s exciting to see all that God is doing through the base here, as they mobilize Guatemalan churches to go out and make more disciples! Because it’s an Adventures Base, there are lots of different opportunities for ministry! They partner with many different ministries, and the number is always growing. We were the first racer team to work with our host, Emilio. He is an amazing man who is a dreamer who takes action to change the problems he sees around him. He has many different projects he has started and is working on, and we got a taste of them all! One is a school that he started in his neighborhood because there was no school for the children. It’s a private school that offers scholarships or reduced prices for the families that cannot afford it. We helped out in the classrooms, assisting the teachers with lesson prep and doing whatever they needed. We only were asked to teach once, but always be prepared to teach on the spot or lead the kids in a song or game. The school is currently kindergarten through 4th grade, but it is constantly growing, as it has only been in operation for 4 years. Another project is an organic farm that Emilio has inherited from his family. He took us on a tour where he linked the bible to organic farming and how he came to the Lord through nature. It was AMAZING!!! Future teams will help on the farm with weeding, etc. Make sure he does the tour for you. We also went to a yoga class to help take photos to promote the program. He wants to incorporate the gospel into these classes, as this is the central reason he wants to do so many things, to reach people for Jesus. He is a great leader and super open to feedback, as he always desires to do better. He is inspiring because he isn’t just a dreamer who talks, he makes things happen, like starting a restaurant/park/farm to show people his dream of organic farming and healthy eating spreading around the world. By the time the next team goes to work with him, this should be done! I would rate this as a 4!!!!!
  2. Ministry included : teaching values and principles in various schools in and around Antigua, a fundraising project, and teaching English courses. We also did a little manual labor in some of the more poor areas.

Lodging

Even the most basic hostels in Antigua are still outside of the World Race budget.  In the past, WR teams have stayed with ministry partners that gave a more affordable rate:

  • YWAM Antigua is the best option.  Teams will sleep on the floor but will have access to a kitchen and American/Western hosts. Update August, 2008: We slept in bunks for a week. The cost was $10 per night,which was too expensive, so we moved to an apartment (see below).A
  • Spanish church called Vida y Fe let teams sleep on the floor for an affordable rate.  Facility does not have a kitchen.
  • A Lutheran Retreat center is located on the edge of town.  A deal was negotiated to tent camp on their property.  Teams will have to pay for a single room if they wish to have access to toilet/shower facilities.  No kitchen is available.
  • August 2008, team G Racers stayed at a rented apartment on the corner of 1st avenida and 1st caille.  We found out about the place from CasaNova real estate located near the Casa Santo Domingo (the 5 star phenomenal hotel in Antigua) real estate agent was Elizabeth Falla.  It cost $525 for the month including utilities, cable, internet, washing machine, and gas for the kitchen stove. This comes to about $3.50 per person per night.

      1. We stayed at Casa De Fuego, a hostel run by the Adventures Base in Guatemala. It is located on the outskirts of Ciudad Vieja, which is 3 and a half miles from Antigua (a 3 Q chicken bus ride into Antigua). Craig and Carol run the hostel and are in charge of hospitality for the Adventures Base. They are incredible hosts, true parents at heart in every way. This hostel is great! Nice beds, hot showers, toilets, a full service kitchen, lots of open community space, and wifi! Plus a friendly golden retriever named Barley. We had our LDW here, so they are able to accommodate entire squads for debriefs, etc. Also, it’s only 7 miles from Volcan Fuego, and you might get to see the volcano erupt, even possibly during a lightening storm….
      2. My team bunked with another team at a pastor Luis’ ministry house- included 4 rooms with bunk beds – enough for entire squad, hot showers, toilets, WIFI, a living room, full kitchen, and front yard. Located in a very secure area of Antigua. At the beginning of the month our squad stayed at Mochileros Hostel for 6-7$ per night
      3. We stayed at Casa Luis which is a youthcenter. It’s in San Pedro, a 15 minute bus ride from Antigua. Most of our time there we had the house for ourselves. Sometimes other Teams came to serve, they had their own rooms, but we shared the common area and kitchen with them. The house has 5 rooms with bunkbeds, 3 bathrooms, living area, kitchen, balcony, wifi, washing machine and a backyard to put hammocks up. The location is very safe, the house is gated in and it’s in a gated community as well.
      4. While serving with New Generation, our host Luis Castillo invited us to stay in his youth center on the outskirts of Antigua in San Pedro las Huertas. It is a 15 minute chicken bus ride into the heart of Antigua, which was easy, cheap, and painless. We paid $6.50 per night per person, and the house had wifi, a full kitchen, bunk rooms that sleep 30+ people, 3 bathrooms, a common area, a washing machine, and more. It is in a gated community & the property is also gated in. We felt very safe here. Be aware that Luis & his wife are VERY strict with their policy of “you break it, you buy it.” Wether something breaks and its your fault or not, chances are you will be paying for it. Just something to be aware of. Overall, a great and very safe location to stay.
      5. Mochileros (hostel) – $6-7ish per night, Wifi, great atmosphere, 502-7832 0520, http://internacionalmochilero.com/
      6.

      Food / Meals

      Food is an expensive item in Antigua.  There are many restaurants (everything from street vendors to 4-Star restaurants).  Teams will have to shop frugally to stay within budget

      • Go to the market to get fruits and veggies! Bargain with the people at the market. The best days to go are Mondays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. This is when the new shipments come in and you can get the best deals. Don’t carry a large purse with you to the market. It is easy for things to get stolen in the large crowds. Take small bills with you as many of the vendors don’t have a lot of change, and if they see you have a lot of money, they may charge more.
      • Try these places: Los Palmas, Cafe Condessa, Sabe Rico, Bagel Barn, Cafe Sky. 
      • Higher Grounds has excellent coffee and desserts (try the peanut butter chocolate cake!). 
      • Cafe 2000 is the most awesome location – they show movies at all times during the week for free as long as you order something from the menu. You can pick up the schedule at the beginning of the week and see what’s playing. We saw lots of new releases. They serve meals, salads, appetizers, cocktails, desserts (try the brownie with ice cream), and really good coffee (bring your own Splenda).
      • Comedor Antigua (Local No. 1-13) located at Mercado Municipal – This place has great hospitality and delicious local food for a great cheap price.

      1. fat cat coffee has free wifi & yummy cookies basil cafe also has free wifi! bakerys and coffee shops around every corner so if you have time to explore there are plentyyyy of places!
      2. Thanks for the info!
      3. Our team and squad ate a lot at Taqueria Doña Lupita! It’s cheap, fast food and the owner is super friendly. I had a veggie burrito for 35Q. 3 Tacos 20Q, Quesadillas 25Q, Gringas 30Q and Nachos were 25Q. It’s located off of 7 Calle between 5 &6 Avenida. Also, inside the food market you can get 4 fresh corn tortillas for 1Q! I also recommend finding the woman who sells tamales de elote. They were delicious and cost only 5Q.
      4. My team cooked for ourselves – we had access to stove and oven – so it was easy. We had $5 per person per day but we also ate out a lot , especially on off days, in Antigua.
      5. We did most of our grocery shopping at the la bodegona grocery store in Antigua. For produce and meat we usually went to the local market it’s a lot cheaper. There are lots of great coffee shops everywhere in Antigua. Some of our favorites are: Cafe Boheme, Barista, Cafe Condesa and Cafe Estudio. Definitely try to check out Mono Loco. Their food is delicious.
      6. Santa Clara Panaderia is hands down the best kept secret in Antigua. It’s a small bakery with an attached cafe near the Hermano Pedro hospital. It’s also the best bakery you’ll ever visit in your life. They not only have breads, but also sandwiches and other foods you could easily make a lunch out of. Basically, no matter what you get will be delicious. And everything is super cheap, with the most expensive items being maybe Q15. Definitely check it out.
      7. We did all of our produce shopping at the local market, located next to the bus terminal, on Monday mornings. Way cheaper and fresher than the grocery store, & such an awesome atmosphere. We bought produce, beef, chicken, and eggs here every week. Grocery shopping was done at La Bodegona, a grocery store located a block or two from the local market and bus terminal. This is where we bought staples that we couldn’t get from the market, like butter, peanut butter, bread, noodles, rice, cereal, milk, etc. Antigua is FULL of awesome food and coffee. Our squad has many favorites. For a delicious, authentic, and cheap Guatemalan meal, Rincon Tipico was perfect. Awesome atmosphere, food, and price. 15Q for breakfast and 25Q for lunch/dinner. Cafe Sky is a bit pricey but has an incredible roof top dining option for an occasional special meal. They also have great coffee and wifi, so we would go here for a Saturday afternoon for a coffee and facetime! Tretto is our all-time favorite coffee shop. The owner has won international awards for his coffee, they have great wifi, and they have an awesome upstairs with couches and books and a tv. Favorite Antigua coffee shop, hands down. Sabe Rico has incredible food for a middle of the road price. It is a garden cafe, with sweet bird cages all over & delicious food & beverages. If you’re looking for a beautiful atmosphere, this is a great option. They also have a cafe in the front for the restaurant, which has awesome drinks and the fastest wifi we’ve found in Anitgua. One of our favorite Antigua finds. Rainbow Cafe is a great option for an intimate setting. This is a perfect spot for a smaller group going for drinks, or a friend date over coffee! The front of the cafe is a book store with english books, as well!
      8. In the back of the market, across where the bus station is, there is a delicious SAFE taco stand called Taquiera Tapachula. The Gringa is what I’d recommend. 11 Q’s for one! My favorite meal in Guatemala!
      9. Mono Loco!! This awesome American-like restaurant/bar is just a block down from the town center. They have amazing dessert nachos, a must get while in Antigua! Also if it is football season, it is a great place to have a drink and watch the game!
      10. Check out Cafe Inc! It is only a block or two down from Mochileros, before you get to the arch. They have great coffee drinks and yummy panini’s. There is also a delicious corn dessert, that may seem weird…but it is just great!

      Transportation

      • Transportation won’t be necessary in Antigua as everything is within walking distance.  Buses can be taken anywhere in the country from Antigua.The bus costs 3Q. Tuk-tuks cost about 10Q.

      1. we used uber alot in antigua, but just be aware that often times (happened soo many times for us) the uber drivers will wait around the corner until you decide to cancel, and then charge you a cancellation fee. just something to be aware of if you see on your map that the drivers not moving. something i never experienced in the states so just a headsup, it only happened when in antigua, we didn’t have this problem in the other areas.
      2. We used chicken buses to get around everywhere. They are super cheap. I always don’t think they’re unsafe. Still keep an eye on your belongings. It costs only 2 Q to get into Antigua and it’s 15 mins away from our place in San Pedro El Alto. You can always use Tuk Tuks – 35 Q one way
      3. We used the chicken bus to get into Antigua and sometimes also ministry site. San Pedro – Antigua, one person, one way is 1.5Q.
      4. We set up travel from Antigua to Honduras with “A Viajar Guatemala”, it was a bad decision. This guy is located 2 doors down from to El Refugio, the Christian owned coffee shop. They suggested him probably not knowing much about him. We were told it would be a 10 hour bus ride, it was 22. We were told we would get one big tourist bus, we got 2 little dinky things, one of which broke down 2 hours from our destination and we had to pay for other transportation.
      5. Rosamaria Ponciano Driver – First Class Antigua 50249575250.0 joseurquizu@hotmail.com Not much is known about this company or driver. May or may not be a good lead.

      1. We used Claro SIM cards for our local number. They had places to buy minutes ALL over Antigua. Make sure to not overpay for minutes. La Bodegona (the grocery store) charges 2Q per minute. This is a rip off. Smaller tiendas charge 1-1.5Q for minutes. Be sure to check the price per minute before purchasing! We made this mistake!
      2. Claro had the best deals. Q.20 per sim card.

      1. Iglesia del camino – a bilingual church we attended. our ministry host actually played bass on sunday there so that was a fun coincidence. super friendly people and many involved in Worship Room; one of the antigua ministries! Volcan acatenango – truly worth it. i second the statement below lol.

      2. Volcan Acatenango hike, WORTH IT! We went with Gilmer Soy Tour, couldn’t have asked for a better experience. He was so kind and laid out in full detail what to expect and what we needed to do this hike! He also had hiking pole rentals, jacket rentals, hats rentals, and glove rentals. They also provide you with lunch, and you get dinner when you get to base camp. They also gave us hot chocolate and breakfast in the morning after you summit. The tour guides that went with us were the kindest people I had ever met. They were so patient with us and did make us feel rushed. High recommend that you do it if you have the time!
      3. Lake Atitlan – 100% worth doing a two-day trip. Expect to spend between $50-$75 depending on your food/shopping, but it’s so worth it to get away and have a beautiful, relaxing, fun weekend with your team.Travel: Atitrans Antigua; 6a Ave Sur No. 8; 90Q/$12 USD one way. They will pick you up at your hostel/hotel/residence for no additional charge and they speak English in the office. If you can, get the 5:30am shuttle. It’s so worth it to get there as early as possible (aka like 8:30am). Antigua to Panajachel Info: http://atitrans.net/index.php?route=product/product&path=25_67&product_id=42. You can book your return shuttle when you get to Panajachel.We stayed in Santiago, on the far side of the Lake from Panajachel; Pana is very touristy and Santiago is very quiet.Lodging: Posada de Santiago: http://www.posadadesantiago.com/reservations.php; when you get to Santiago, go up the hill then down the hill, turn left at the dead end, turn right at the dead end, turn right at the dead end, bear right at the fork, walk past the dueling serpents, and Posada is on your left; $100 USD total (~102Q per person) for 4-person house for one night – ask for “La Casita.” It had one queen bed, two twin beds, a futon, full kitchen, clean water, and full bathroom. There’s a 5% discount on the room if you pay in cash. Posada has a pool, hot tub, sauna, private lakefront access, lounge chairs, a dock, kayaks/canoes/paddleboats, bicycles, and restaurant (really pricey – around 80-90Q for a meal). Incredible if you want a beautiful view, peace and quiet, and quality time with your teammates. It’s a very private location with not a lot of other guests. Wake up before sunrise to see the fishermen cast their nets in the fog of the morning in their homemade boats – very reminiscent of Lake Galilee.Transport around lake: public boats. Note – they will overcharge you. Typically 20Q per person; they will ask 25Q. Don’t be afraid to negotiate and ask around to different drivers for better prices.Things to do:-The market in Santiago has beautiful clothing and goods for competitive prices and the shop-owners are always willing to negotiate.-In San Marcos, for a one-time 15Q entrance fee, you can jump off of a 30 foot platform into the lake, use kayaks and canoes, swim, sunbathe, jump off a trampoline into the water, and more!-Best breakfast ever is at Fe restaurant in San Marcos. Get the Huevos Rancheros; you won’t regret it. They take credit/debit – PTL.-Also in Santiago: beautiful architecture.
      4. If you want some EPIC boots then go to Pastores.1. Look up books or any leather shoes (a teammate made the CUTEST sandals)2. Take a chicken bus from the bus station to Pastores for 2.5 Q.3. It’s a super small town. I got my boots done in this SWEET woman’s shop. They charged 350Q ($50) to make my stinkin adorable boots.4. GO ASAP. It took two weeks to make.5. You can also go pick some up whenever that are already made.DO IT
      5. Volcano Pacaya: An active volcano that you can hike and roast marshmallows. Our Team had so much fun doing that! Luis our host organized transportation for us. You have to book a tour to hike the volcano. Overall cost was about 130Q.=Panajachel: A great weekend trip. We took the 3 hour bus ride which again, our contact Luis set up. We stayed at a hostel at Lake Atitlan, rented a boat, went cliffjumping and spend the next day at the market in Panajachel.Antiuga: Antigua is a beautiful town and definitely worth spending an off day in.
      6. Antigua is a beautiful city! You’ll find lots of great coffee shops, restaurants, and souveniers. There will be a lot of tourists, and the locals will try to sell you all kinds of scarfs and jewelry and things. Watch your step with all those pretty cobblestones! And keep an eye on those awesome volcanos!Some of our favorite coffee shops with WiFi were:El Refugio (The Refuge) — Christian coffee shop with a prayer room in the back. If you walk from central park, turn right on the street before McDonalds. It will be on the left side.Tretto Cafe aka Los Encuentros — Super awesome cafe with cheap and delicious smoothies, good food, and super cool atmosphere. The seats are bus seats and the tables are suitcases. From the entrance it looks small, but it’s actually really big. They have weird hours that we never quite figured out. It is a few blocks behind the catholic church in central park on First. (Same street as Domino’s Pizza)Estudio Cafe — The best coffee in town. Super nice employees. It’s on the same street as The Refuge, but it is the opposite direction. Turn left before the McDonalds when coming from Central Park.Y Tu Pina Tambien — Good food! One day the waiter brought us free orange juice and coffee. The next time we went the service wasn’t as extraordinary. Nice Atmosphere. Located one or two blocks up from Iglesia San Francisco on 1st. It’s on a corner on the left side. (Down the street from Tretto Cafe or Los Encuentros).Angie Angie — Expensive, but good food. Beautiful garden!! Good & friendly service. Located on 1st. Between Tretto Cafe and Y Tu Pina Tambien, but on the opposite side of the street.Other cool places that may or may not have WiFi:La Pena — Tasty food. Live Music. Kind of expensive.Kafka — Bar & restaurant with a really awesome terrace that has beautiful views of Antigua. Friendly owner.Mono Loco — Huge, delicious, and reasonably priced nachos!Salsa Place Next to Mono Loco — Fun place to dance! Ladies get in for free on Tuesdays. Sorry, don’t remember the name of it.
      7. There some interesting architecture, Cathedral de Santiago,Convento de las capuchinas, church of san Francisco(not the san fran we know) and Hill of cross has a tourist police escort(due to high amount of robberies in the city) take precautions seems to be the theme for the whole cityVolcan Pacaya – Active volcano day trips through local travel agents 60-80Q plus 50Q park fee. Drive most the way and then a moderate hike for 2 hours.El Hato is a small village in the mountains 20 min and 6000 feet above Antigua where you can hike around through the forest and coffee plantations. 40 min 4QThe mercado The “mercado” is located about 3 blocks directly west of the northwest corner of the town center. The market is opened every day, but is largest on Saturday, Monday, and Thursday.

      1. Luis Castillo with Nueva Generacio is a super awesome contact! Luis and his family are wonderful! He treated us like daughters! He was sure to educate us on Guatemala and show us around. He is also a great man of God and a go getter! Location had beds, lovely yard, balcony with pretty views, gated community, hot showers, WiFi. You can get into the center of town on a chicken bus for just 1.50Q or it is a 30 minute walk.
      2. Alex at the Mochileros Hotel is an ideal contact. He’s been working with Race squads for years. He can set up transport for your, suggest areas to go, provide a place to stay, or do just about everything you need!
