A Guide to Studying Abroad in Guatemala
Where to Study in Guatemala
Guatemala screams diversity in every aspect of life. Travel west into the highlands to experience the land of eternal spring in some of the more modern big cities, or travel east to wander through indigenous villages. Embrace the Rasta-inspired coasts while chilling beachside in a hammock, or dive deep into the jungle for an adrenaline rush. Here are the best places to study abroad in Guatemala.
Guatemala’s heart lies within Guatemala City. This city, known as “Guate” by the locals, is full of contrasts. Wander the streets that are filled with broken down buses next to shiny new BMWs, and gaze up at modern skyscrapers next to tiny dilapidated villages. Guate can be dirty and dangerous at times, but other times is absolutely fascinating. Dangerous areas have been redeveloped into pedestrian-friendly streets filled with hip bars, cafes, and restaurants.
Head straight for Antigua, the heart of the Mayan civilization. While Guate radiates a big city vibe, Antigua emanates picturesque Guatemala. Streets are painted bright colors, covered in local artwork and flower petals, and lined with old colonial buildings. Students feel as if they’ve traveled back in time. Spend your free time exploring markets full of indigenous artwork, relaxing in charming plazas, or trekking through dormant volcanoes.
To get more off-the-grid while studying in Guatemala, consider Quetzaltenango. Some say it’s the perfect Guatemalan town: big enough to keep students busy, but small enough to feel like home. There are enough international visitors to support the tourism industry, but not enough to take away the genuine feeling of a Guatemalan village. The German-influenced gothic architecture is stunning, with glorious town halls and cathedrals contrasting crumbling ruins. Awesome!
