Antigua is recognized world wide for its beauty and charm. Authentic colonial architecture, cobblestone streets and traditional craftsman have earned Antigua titles like "Colonial Monument of America" or "City of Perpetual Roses"

Enjoying a warm and pleasant climate all year round, Antigua's temperatures average 75ºF. Cool breezes combined with the high altitude, (5,000 feet above sea level), make this town rather cool at night, so sweaters and light jackets are advisable.

The rainy season starts around May 15 and lasts until October 15, with brief but strong afternoon showers.

Within 20 minutes (by bus) of Antigua, lie two Indian villages renowned for their weavings, and within a 70-mile radius are various lakes, ocean beaches, archeological sites, open markets and Indian communities
