Hotel Ruinas Resort

Huehuetenango lies at the base of the Cuchumatanes Mountains in Guatemala’s Western Highlands. This midsize town is a hub for trade in the region and has a fairly lively atmosphere. Travelers can explore the central square and the adjoining neoclassic cathedral, which was built in 1874. The Mam ruins of Zaculeu are a few miles outside town. This site, which dates back to 400–700 AD, is thought to have served religious and administrative purposes.
