San Juan del Obispo

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

San Juan del Obispo is a small village (pueblo) in Guatemala. It is located in the department of Sacatepéquez, close to the departmental capital Antigua Guatemala.

Famous for holding one of the first Catholic churches in Guatemala, and the first bishop of Guatemala resided in San Juan del Obispo (hence the name). A long string of overseas volunteers have lived and worked voluntarily here for some time, providing education and a safe environment for children from poor homes in the areas surrounding the volcano side.
