After living in Antigua for over 3+ years, this is a staple for special occasions, when friends visit, or just needing some solo time. There's a bustling energy about the ground on Saturday's when Caoba throws their famous farmers market, although they're open Wednesday - Sunday and hosts various events throughout. Make sure to bring a camera and enjoy a walk around the property. From the beautifully presented snacks to the farm, it's a photographers dream full of color, life, and the beauty of nature all around. Your visit can be a short stop into the artisanal tienda, although you'd be selling yourself short. If you have time, settle into the restaurant for a full meal, straight from the farm, or just a liquado. There's plenty to do for the entire family if time allows - farm tour, workshops, mariposa garden, succulent plant garden, play area for the kids, live music, and much more. They conveniently offer shuttle service from Parque Central, but it's also a very enjoyable 15min walk from town. Uber is also available if a private ride is more your style.

We visited during a free tour of the town. Juan explained the Mayan calendar and showed me my birth sign and what it meant. He took the time to explain painting techniques and was so friendly. I love the painting I bought and was so glad to have met the artist.

Galeria de Arte Chiya

Reviewed By Lynn_TerraExperience

I return year after year to visit Galeria de Arte Chiya to see and buy the work of Angelina Quic and her husband Antonio Coche Mendoza and their extended family. I first met Angelina and Antonio in 2007 or perhaps a few years earlier when their daughter was a young girl. Angelina was one of the first woman painters in San Juan La Laguna, if not the first. Her husband Antonio Coche Mendoza is a oil painter of Mayan Naïve art and she learned from him but created her own style. I was especially attracted to the overhead "bird's eye" view of coffee picking, markets and other traditional San Juan La Laguna scenes, that were fairly unique when I first met her. The style has been widely copied, but I still like her work the best. There are other styles of oil paintings in the gallery painted by Antonio, and his brothers,Julian, Domingo, Gregorio and other friends and neighbors who are painters. I saw Angelina's daughter again today, she has grown up and now is studying industrial design at the university. I can't wait to see what kind of things she will design, coming from such an artistic family. I hope you will enjoy visiting their gallery as much as I have over the years.

Mercado Central

For really good deals on Guatemalan handicrafts, especially leather goods, woolen blankets and masks, check out the underground stalls here, where fresh produce is also available.

Reviewed By tg0mide - Westbury, United States

Right behind the Metropolitan Cathedral, the Mercado Central is a must. You can get lost in it. Wonderful crafts to delight your eyes and a great place to shop. Prices are incredible, but never pay what the sellers are asking for. Bargain, bargain and bargain. Things are much cheaper than Antigua. If you don't intend to shop, do not skip it. It is a wonderful experience!
