In the nation's Southwest, extending from the cold altiplano to the hot Pacific Coast is the department of Quetzaltenango, famous for having the oldest colonial buildings in the nation, as
it was here that the first conquistadors settled. This lovely department also stands out for its impressive and varied geography; numerous volcanoes, hot springs, valleys, mountains, and rivers allow for the
production of an assortment of crops like coffee, wheat, and vegetables as well as for cattle and sheep raising.
