A Guide to Language Programs in Guatemala
Locations
There are numerous Spanish language schools in Guatemala, many located in the top cities of the country. Students and travelers will be pleased to know that several are accredited by international universities and colleges, while others are developed in union with American university study abroad programs. Three of the most common cities for language programs in Guatemala are Antigua, San Pedro La Laguna, and Quetzaltenango, the country’s second largest city, where the nation’s top language schools are located.
Antigua. Rich in history and architectural charm, the colonial city of Antigua is a vibrant area that takes students back in time. Designated as an UNESCO World Heritage site in 1979, the city dates back to the early 16th century and today still boasts fantastic characteristics of the time, with cobblestone streets, decorative fountains, colorful massive buildings, and fantastic baroque-style churches. Antigua has a population of roughly 35,000 and was once the capital of the Kingdom of Guatemala. Aside from enjoying the city’s natural beauty, viewing the Spanish Baroque architecture by visiting the ruins of old San Jose or the Santo Domingo Monastery, language students should visit St. John’s Saturday morning market to buy local produce and the Jade museum shouldn’t be missed either.
San Pedro La Laguna is a beautiful destination located on the southwest shore of Lake Atitlan. Although one of the smaller towns in the area, that has a population of roughly 13,000, the town’s nightlife has become increasingly popular. Students flock to this location as it is well-known for Spanish language schools, and is close to San Pedro volcano (a nice day hike). The town itself can be reached by regular boats that cross Lake Atitlan or directly by bus from Guatemala City. Students can see the east side of the lake easily and enjoy snorkeling, canoeing, and kayaking, while studying Spanish in Guatemala.
Quetzaltenango (Xela) is the second largest city in Guatemala with a population of roughly 225,000. Located in a mountain valley close to 8,000 feet above sea level, temperatures are fairly chilly (it is known for being Guatemala’s chilliest major city). Rainy season generally runs from late May through October, while warmer, drier months are between November and April. The Santa Maria Volcano is located near Xela, and is a one hour climb that boasts fantastic views. If staying in the city is preferred during a language program in Guatemala, the Central Plaza is a nice place to people watch and is home to the local cathedral and museum. A micro-bus or large van stuffed with seats is available to get around the city, although bicycling is a great option as well.
