Nestled in the middle of three towering volcanoes, Antigua has some stunning views especially during sunset. If you are looking for a hotel room with a view then it is probably a good idea to stay away from cheap hotels and opt for a luxury hotel. There are many hotels in Antigua Guatemala as well as guest houses, bed and breakfasts and hostels with terraces where you can enjoy the view and relax with a nice glass of red wine enjoying the lovely scenery.
Being a colonial town full of rich houses that descended from the Spanish conquerors, most houses within the center of Antigua have extravagant terraces. This means that unless you are very unlucky you are likely to end up with a terrace of some description to watch the sun go down.
Although there are some 5 star resorts on the outskirts of town you will probably want to stay in a central place that offers both comfort and style.
Why are Antigua’s sunsets so glorious? Well, geographically Antigua is located in the middle of a kind of valley/bowl is surrounded by lush green countryside and dramatic 4000m meter high volcanoes. The sun always sets over Volcan Fuego and Acatenango coloring the sky with all sorts of crazy rainbow colors making for an amazing spectacle – almost like a laser show!
This laser show can be amplified by the weird patterns of cloud that congregated in the sky and the puffs of smoke that are periodically released by the affectionately known Fuego.
