Quetzaltenango

So next semester we are planning an amazing mission trip to Guatemala with AMSA students at Baylor. Specifically we are going to Quetzaltenango, which is the second largest city in the country. Quetzaltengango is a very nice place, located in the west part of the country, characterized for its chilly weather (usually around 40-50F) and colonial architecture. 


Quetzaltenango is believed to mean place of the ten deer. It is usually referred as Xelaju or Xela (pronounced sh-eh-lah). Looking forward to be in this amazing place next Spring and to be able to help people over there!
