Villa Nueva
About half a million people.
Villa Nueva sits just south of the capital and has grown into one of the largest cities in the country. Many families live and work here as part of the big Guatemala City area.
You can relax by Lake Amatitlan nearby, shop at bustling markets and malls, and enjoy the busy, friendly neighborhoods full of local eateries.
