San Juan del Obispo is a small town on the slopes of Volcán de Agua, a few minutes from Antigua. Its name comes from Francisco Marroquín, Guatemala's first bishop, who built his residence here in the 16th century. The palace and the town church are still standing, and from the upper part of town there is a wide view over the Panchoy Valley.

The town is also known for níspero (loquat), a fruit grown in the area, and for its artisanal chocolate workshops. It is a nice getaway to see everyday life in a Sacatepéquez town just minutes from the city.
