Good Luck

Hi there: I recommed you visit www.guatemalaturistica.com. On the home page, where it says Guatemala Turistica, click on hoteles. That takes you to a general list of hotels, which includes, rates, telephone numbers and e-mail addresses in some cases. For some reason its only in spanish. Antigua can be found under "Sacatepequez". Also www.enjoyguatemala.com has several pages on mountain bike tours. horse back riding tours,volcanos etc.

Good luck.

Thanks so for your input, the web sites were good links to research.

Additonal input welcome!!

I am going to San Jose el Viejo (www.sanjoseelviejo.com this summer to study Sapnish. I have had several friends and profs go there because it is geared more to families and adults rather than back packers. You can rent casitas by the week - which we are doing because we have heard such great things. They have a pool and tennis court too. Students can also opt for home stay, or stay in another hotel. This school is so well known that you need to call before hand and book - they will also pick you up in Guatemala City and take you to the school! The school will also tell you where to get a cell phone, get your laundry done, rent bike, and book tours.

They have been GREAT to deal with - we are going for 7 weeks!
