Rent a vacation apartment in Chimaltenango – Iximché and Kaqchikel heritage

If you would like to rent a vacation apartment in Chimaltenango, the selection begins with the planned mix of regional experiences: should a cultural day centered around Iximché be the main focus, or should the accommodation primarily support getting around the department? Chimaltenango is a department of Guatemala; the capital of the department is the city of Chimaltenango. The department is associated with the culture and traditions of the Kaqchikel.

Iximché and the landscape as a travel concept

Around Iximché, rolling hills and vegetation complement the cultural site with a natural dimension.

Cultural anchors for planning your trip
