Things to do in Western Highlands, Western Highlands: The Best History Museums
Guatemalas spectacular Western Highlands run from Antigua to the Mexican border. Pines blanket misty hillsides, rivers cascade through sliver-thin ravines, volcanoes rumble overhead. Catch market day or witness offerings to drinking, smoking St. Maximon, in Chichicastenango. See traditional life in the Ixil Triangle. Clamber the Cuchumatanes Mountains. Mayan dialects and ceremonies are still part of everyday life for the majority of Guatemalas indigenous population, living where their ancestors trod.

A place to enjoy the Rum of Guatemala in the cold mountains of Quetzaltenango, a place where it houses an unmissable legacy and an experience that must be lived. Take the Rum Tour of Guatemala!

This is a small, interesting museum about the geology, history, and Mayan culture in the area around San Pedro and Lake Atitlan. The museum is well organized and the guide was knowledgeable and presented things clearly. I assume that they have tours in English, but I took one in Spanish, which was a great exercise. The guide spoke very clearly, so it's easy to follow along if you have about intermediate-level language skills.
