Mixco
About 470 thousand people.
Mixco is a large city that touches the western edge of the capital, so it almost feels like one big town joined together. It has deep roots going back to an old Maya settlement.
You can visit the historic old town of Mixco Viejo ruins, explore shopping centers, and enjoy views over the valley from its hilly streets.
