Activity itinerary

Guatemala
  • 2h
We'll start this experience from your hotel in Guatemala City. So sit tight and enjoy the views from the city until we arrive to Antigua Guatemala.
Iglesia de La Merced
  • 1h
  • Admission ticket included
This is a beautiful yellow church and the best example of Baroque Guatemalan architecture. The church dating from the 18th century is one of the most beautiful in Antigua Guatemala. It is surrounded by a beautiful garden, handicraft sales, and great cafes that offer authentic "Antigüeño" coffee (coffee from Antigua Guatemala) that has chocolate notes due to its roasting process.
Arco de Santa Catalina
  • 30m
  • Admission ticket included
Standing above the cobbled streets and in front of the hulking Volcán de Agua, this saffron-yellow arch has become the symbol of Antigua and the central image on most postcards.
The Plaza Central Park
  • 30m
  • Admission ticket included
In Antigua Guatemala, you will feel that you go back in time, observe and contemplate the majesty of the Water Volcano looming in the background of the city, and the old cobbled streets, and the more than 500 years of architecture. We begin our walking tour from the Central Park of the Plaza de Antigua Guatemala, which is the centre of the city, also surrounded by the most important buildings.
Catedral de San Jose
  • 30m
  • Admission ticket not included
Is a Roman Catholic church in Antigua Guatemala. The original church was built around 1541 but suffered several earthquakes throughout its history, and the first church building was demolished in 1669. The cathedral was rebuilt and consecrated in 1680. By 1743 the cathedral was one of the largest in Central America. However, the devastating 1773 Guatemala earthquake seriously damaged much of the building, though the two towers at the front remained largely intact. These have undergone restoration work, and the cathedral has been partly rebuilt.
Antigua
  • 2h
During each of the stops on the itinerary, we will observe the movement in the beautiful streets of Antigua Guatemala. We will see people decorating the windows of the houses, making colourful rugs of sawdust, and preparing flowers and other offerings to make requests to the Saints.
Guatemala City
  • 2h
The last stop of the day will be to take you back to your hotel in Guatemala City. Take advantage of this time to rest and relax while we arrive.
