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 wandered into this store, which has a small storefront, just intending to look around. We were greeted by Berny, who could not have been more helpful without being at all pushy. Occupying a large portion of the ground floor of a restored large casa, spanning several interconnecting rooms that go deeper into the former house, the jewelry store offers a dazzling array of jewelry, specializing in all colors of Guatemalan jade but also having other semi-precious and precious stones available, often in distinctively designed pieces. At the back of the store is a museum with a well-mounted display of Olmec and Maya artifacts with clear explanations of their provenance. Fort the serious shopper (not us), there are pieces in every price range, all of them attractive. Included in the inventory are pieces made by co-ops supporting the local people. In the courtyard were a couple of Maya women selling their textiles. Berny helped with translations, and with his assistance, we were able to get a better understanding of the techniques used. One of the lovely women demonstrated how she used her hip-strap loom for us. We are so glad we stopped in Casa del Jade and grateful for Berny's assistance.
