Tour description

Antigua Guatemala is an architectural, heritage, and historical gem. And what better way to discover the incalculable treasures of this beautiful city than with a tour guided by guides native to Antigua, not Mexico? A historical, culinary, and cultural experience.

On Sundays during Lent and Holy Week there will be a tour of processions and carpets.


Antigua Guatemala, declared a World Heritage Site, is of unique and extraordinary value, as it is the city of transition between the Hispanic and pre-Hispanic eras. There is a strong Mayan influence in the city.

Also with a very special cuisine, typical sweets, cocoa, and dishes like pepián, subanik, and Kak ik.

Do you want to learn about the Mayan influence and the blend of European and Mesoamerican architecture?

How did the Catholic religion merge with the Mayan religion to create the new religion and architecture seen in the city?

How human creativity created a beautiful city in an extraordinary natural setting surrounded by volcanoes, and you'll learn about the geological history of the Agua, Fuego, and Acatenango volcanoes.

You will know:
Buildings from the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries.
The local architectural styles called "El Barroco Antigueño"
Gastronomic traditions and customs, Holy Week and Curesma, along with current daily life.


We are waiting for you.
