Get around Cantel
Much of the commercial life of Cantel is located along the CA2 highway in the valley below the centre of the village.
The official centre of the village is located on a hilltop west of the highway, with fantastic views across the valley. The centre is fairly sleepy, has an early Colonial Catholic church, the temporary municipal offices and the burnt out ruin of the Municipal Palace (destroyed in a fire in 2002) and not much else.
Guides to various attractions in and around Cantel can be organised by the "Muni" (Municipal offices). These are currently (as of October 2010) located in a dead-end side street to the right of the Catholic church. Upon entering the community hall, turn right and up the stairs and along the walkway to the last office, ask for Emanuel, a young man responsible for economic development and tourism.
Buses to Quetzaltenango leave from the central park by the Catholic church and also pass frequently on the highway below the centre, where buses to Zunil and Pacific coastal cities also pass.
In October 2010, buses were Q2.50 to and from Quetzaltenango.
