My friend and I are going to Guatemala next week for 10 days. We are staying in Antigua and at Lake Atitlan. Any suggestions for must sees? Also going to the market in Chichicastenanga. Doing a village and art tour in Antigua and indigenous tours around the Lake.

Lucky you! It sounds like you have a great itinerary planned already. I sadly never made it to Lake Atitlan. Another popular activity is to do one of the volcano hikes. You probably already have planned your accommodations but I highly recommend Casa Santo Domingo — if not to stay at least for a meal: http://lavieoverseas.com/2013/01/15/antigua-where-to-sleep-eat/ (I did not stay there on my first and second trips but finally made it on the third: http://lavieoverseas.com/2013/09/10/antigua-tercera-parte/).

Also a coffee tour at Filadelfia Resort (http://lavieoverseas.com/2013/04/16/filadelfia-coffee-resort/), a tour of Valhalla Macadamia Nut Farm (http://lavieoverseas.com/2013/01/29/antigua-valhalla-macadamia-nut-farm/), and hiking up to Cerro de la Cruz, which gives you a beautiful view of Antigua and the Volcán de Agua (http://lavieoverseas.com/2013/01/10/antigua-things-to-see/).
