Posada de Quiriguá

Central & Eastern Guatemala


The Posada de Quiriguá gets high marks, not only for lovely rooms and a gracious owner, but also for delicious Japanese food that's served there. There are only a few rooms, and when the owner is traveling the posada is closed, so advance reservations are essential.
