So what is it about this Central American gem that\u2019s got everyone talking? Let\u2019s start in the colourful colonial streets of Antigua, a UNESCO listed city defined by its cobble-stoned pathways and surrounding volcanoes. The less touristy capital, Guatemala City, has an exciting live music scene and raucous nightlife. When you\u2019ve had your fill of city life, head to the island town of Flores or the shores of Lake Atitlan for swimming, sunning and serious chilling. And if you want to come off the grid completely, you\u2019ll even find towns (and hostels) hidden within the jungle.<\/p>\n

Best hostels in Antigua, Guatemala<\/h2>\n
Most travellers first stop in Guatemala, Antigua is a vibrant, pastel-hued city filled with colonial buildings and surrounded by towering volcanoes. There’s no shortage of amazing hostels here, but below are a couple of our favourites.<\/p>\n
Purpose Hostel<\/a><\/h3>\n
This eco-friendly, socially conscious hostel is a little out of the city centre, but the incredible surroundings and the warm fuzzy feeling you\u2019ll get from staying here more than make up for it. They support the local community by growing crops for the elderly, and guests are invited to roll up their sleeves and pitch in. The hostel\u2019s biggest draw is its incredible rooftop garden with unparalleled views of Antigua\u2019s three volcanoes. Whether you\u2019re enjoying a cold beer, a morning coffee or a zen yoga session, you\u2019ll do so in total serenity.<\/p>\n

Best hostels in Flores, Guatemala<\/h2>\n
A tiny town on a picturesque island in the middle of a crystal-clear lake. Flores is popular with backpackers thanks to its proximity to the Mayan ruins at Tikal National Park.
