la azotea cultural center印象

I was going expecting the coffee tour - I didn't expect the music museum, too. It was a fascinating history of local music as well as the history of coffee and how it's made in Guatemala. And the coffee is great, too. Well worth a trip there if you're near Antigua.

Interesting, well-presented history to present day production of coffee in Guatemala, combined with museums of musical instruments and traditional clothing. Though not advertised when we bought our tickets, a woman found us when we entered the music museum and gave us a guided tour, demonstrating all the different instruments. Very interesting. Took a Tuk tuk there, much cheaper than a cab. Is about a 15 minute drive.

What a pleasant surprise to find such a well-done museum neighboring Antigua. It was great to read about the history of coffee and the processing of coffee (in English for me and Spanish for my wife) and then see the coffee being processed right there and seeing the coffee trees as well. The museum of Mayan music was really more than just that, as it involved aspects of history and culture as well. We were very happy that we made the time to visit La Azotea and will recommend it to others.

Great gardens and a lot of information about coffee. Nice place to take a quiet walk and enjoy the beautiful well kept gardens. We spend some time watching a horse back riding lesson at the stable and talking to the instructor.

I read about this place in a guidebook, so hopped a tuktuk from Antigua and went. Entry fee is 50Quetzales, and I found it quite worthwhile. It's like a little haven in the middle of a town... there is an equestrian center next door or connected??? and fields of horses greeted us after coming in the front gate. There is a nice Coffee museum with diaramas, and displays in both english and spanish...plus videos with additional languages. And the coffee plantation is right there, and working,,,so you can actually see some of the work...including how they bag it. You can wander into the coffee fields as well! And, of course, there is a gift shop for coffee...prices not much different than elsewhere.In addition to the coffee museum, there is an outdoor exhibit of some of the regional areas of Guatemala with lifesize samples of how the people in those areas live.There is also a music museum, with a video of local festivals....quite extensive! With another giftshop as well.All in all , a lovely afternoon there! Very peaceful and interesting. They are supposed to have a free shuttle from the Parque Central, but never found it... so, make sure you have a ride back...or wander into the little town.

My only negative is the cafe was not open, so we couldn't enjoy a restful lunch there. Otherwise, the museum centers continues to improve. It is a must when visiting Antigua.

Very good exhibition. The place is well-preserved, the signs are clear and interesting. There is several unique pieces of coffee pots and spoons - very nice collection of the owner.

Very pleasurable walk into the center. The gardens are very pretty. They explain the coffee processing in clear placards. The museum is interesting with old musical instruments, some Native garb, and artifacts. You can sample the coffee- and it is delicious! I'd give it a "thumbs up".
