Chimaltenango
About 120 thousand people.
Chimaltenango is a highland city sitting almost exactly between the capital and the colonial town of Antigua. It is a busy crossroads for trade and travel in the mountains.
You can browse colorful highland markets, taste fresh mountain vegetables, and use the city as a gateway to nearby volcanoes and Lake Atitlan.
