The next stop along Highway CA-10 is the departmental capital of Zacapa. Its redeeming quality is the award-winning Ron Zacapa Centenario rum, sold in a festive woven-straw bottle holder.
You don’t have to go all the way to Zacapa to pick up a bottle, as it’s available from its own duty-free shop at Guatemala City’s international airport. You can pick up a bottle before your flight home.
