The western highlands
Arrival
The bus terminal is two blocks southeast of the plaza. Getting to Nebaj is straightforward, with hourly microbuses from Santa Cruz del Quiché (2hr 15min) until 7pm. The El Descanso centre on 3 Calle is a one-stop shop for Nebaj visitors and easily the best place to go for information on local activities and an internet connection. The Descanso team operates the very informative websites,
www.nebaj.org (in Spanish) and a basic English version
www.nebaj.com , and is affiliated with the Nebaj Language School, which is based in the same building; a week of one-on-one tuition and a family homestay with meals is just US$120.
