Puerto Quetzel is Guatemala's largest Pacific Ocean port. The nearest city is Puerto San Jose; Antigua, another popular destination in Guatemala, is about 90 minutes away.
Adventure, Shopping, and Sightseeing in Guatemala
In Guatemala we looked forward to zip-lining at the Filadelphia Coffee Plantation and to shopping in the portside market where I wanted to purchase an extra or two of a very useful iPhone bag/wallet that I first obtained here a couple of years ago. An Antigua stop was part of the zipline adventure.
There is a separate page for each of these activities; look in the menu bar under "Puerto Quetzal." The photos on this page are of scenic views along the routes traveled to reach the coffee plantation and Antigua.

In a single-day stop, we wanted a zipline opportunity that was both safe and possible in the limited time we had. Nothing is really very close to this port.
