"Antigua Plaza" Spanish School

We asked our good friend Ana Diaz to send us information to promote her Spanish School, located in Antigua Guatemala, which, we are sure is going to be very interesting for the visitor to come!

She sent us the following information and we are more than glad to post it for you!

"Our interest to start a Spanish school in La Antigua Guatemala came from the need to offer a more personalized service to students which are people that come to our country as tourists, volunteers and visitors in general. Our priority is to customize the Spanish programs to the needs and interests of each of our students.
We are a Guatemalan family that also offers Hostal Plaza in Guatemala City close to the airport where we also focus on personalized service and friendly environment for a delightful stay.
Antigua Plaza is a Spanish school that also brings a friendly approach to students that are looking for a cultural experience in Guatemala, they can be sure they will have lessons adjusted to them, home stay accommodations that will let them enjoy Guatemalan ways of life, trips and activities to have a great time while practicing another language.
Our goal is to introduce in Guatemala a customer service that leaves unforgettable memories to our students and guests building a long lasting friendship."

Laguna Lachuá

Is a Karstic lake in Guatemala. It is located in the middle of a national park covered with tropical rain forest, northwest of Cobán, near the border between the departments of Alta Verapaz and El Quiché. The lake is near circular in shape and is probably a cenote or doline. The lake water has a slightly sulphurous smell, which may explain the origin of its name: "Lachuá" is derived from the Q'eqchi' words "li chu há" which means "the fetid water". The water contains a relatively high degree of calcite and tree branches fallen into the lake are quickly covered with a white calcite layer.[1][2]
The Peyan river forms the principal water inflow and the Lachua river its main outflow.[1]

In 1976 an area of 145 km² around the lake ( 15°55′09″N 90°40′23″W / 15.919074°N 90.673084°W) was designated a national park.[3] Laguna Lachuá and its buffer zone were also declared a Ramsar site in 2006.[4]
The park and adjacent buffer zone (known as "Eco-región Lachuá") is noted for its high biodiversity. With 120 species of mammals (50% of mammal species found in Guatemala), 30-40 species of reptiles, 177 bird species (40% of bird species in Guatemala), it is a sanctuary for a varied fauna population. These include reptiles like Morelet's Crocodile (Crocodylus moreletii), Orangebelly Swamp Snake (Tretanorhinus nigroluteus); and mammals, like the Jaguar (Panthera onca), Cougar (Puma concolor), Baird's tapir (Tapirus bairdii), the White-lipped Peccary (Tayassu pecari), Spotted Paca (Agouti paca), Red Brocket (Mazama americana), and Spix's Disk-winged Bat (Thyroptera tricolor), and various monkeys species including the endangered Guatemalan Black Howler (Alouatta pigra).[1][5]
Waterbirds found in the park include the Wood Stork (Mycteria americana), Blue-winged Teal (Anas discors), Black-bellied Whistling Duck (Dendrocygna autumnalis), Muscovy Duck (Cairina moschata), Pied-billed Grebe (Podilymbus podiceps), Brown Pelican (Pelecanus occidentalis), Bare-throated Tiger-heron (Tigrisoma mexicanum), Snowy Egret (Egretta thula), Little Blue Heron (Egretta caerulea), Tricolored Heron (Egretta tricolor), Green Heron (Butorides virescens), Sungrebe (Heliornis fulica), Limpkin (Aramus guarauna), and Black-necked Stilt (Himantopus mexicanus), [1][4]
