NEBAJ & SALQUIL
Nebaj Salquil Light and Life Christian Bilingual school
Nebaj Ixil Area

Salquil and Nebaj lie in the northwestern highlands of Guatemala slightly northeast of the town of Huehuetenango. Nebaj is about 150 miles from the capital, Guatemala City. The condition of the roads makes it approximately a 6-hour drive. Salquil is 12 miles northwest or one hour further up the mountain from Nebaj.

Boasting a population of 65,000, Nebaj is the largest of the three Ixil municipalities. Nebaj Ixil is the name of the language spoken in Salquil and Nebaj.

On the road from Nebaj to Salquil Grande a short detour at the Acul turnoff will take you to the
Hacienda San Antonio. There you can enjoy a beautiful view of the northwestern highlands and
cheese made from a 100-year-old recipe.
