Hobbitenango
An eco-park on a hilltop northeast of Antigua, styled after the Shire, with round hobbit-hole cottages, a giant swing and panoramic views of the volcanoes.
Hobbitenango sits on a hilltop about 20 minutes' drive northeast of Antigua. Inspired by the hobbit village in The Lord of the Rings, it features half-buried cottages with round doors, giant swings, archery and viewing platforms. On a clear day you can see Volcán de Agua, Volcán de Fuego and Acatenango at the same time, and you can even stay overnight in one of the cottages. Admission is about 50 quetzales. The last stretch up the hill is a steep dirt road, so most people take the park's four-wheel-drive shuttle from the foot of the hill. Visibility is usually better in the morning.
