विवरण

Departing from Guatemala City, explore the fascinating city of La Antigua and learn about its history during colonial times. An expert guide will share the many wonders of this fabulous city with you.
Antigua Guatemala is a town where time stands still. Once the third largest city in all of Spanish Colonial America and for 200 years the capital of Guatemala, today it is a peaceful, beautiful and partially restored, colonial city. Cobblestone streets wind through the city of majestic churches and monasteries.

Your tour will begin with pick-up at the Guatemala City airport, before you are transferred to Antigua, Guatemala to begin your walking tour. You will start the tour visiting the church of La Merced of Guatemalan. This ultra-baroque style church features on its upper facade, a sculpture of San Pedro Nolasco, founder of the Mercedarian Order. Continue to see the Arch of Santa Catalina, built to connect the nuns between cloisters. This was designed so that they could avoid being seen due to the votes that the religious Order took.


Central Park is located at the heart of the city, surrounded by the traditional grid pattern frequently utilized in Spanish urban planning of the colonies. The park is surrounded by the Palace of the Generals Captain, the City Hall, the church of San José (formerly the Cathedral of Guatemala), the Archbishop’s Palace, and the Portal of Commerce (or the Bakers’ Portal). Here, visitors will also find the beautiful Mermaid´s Fountain. The Count of Gomera fountain was built in remembrance of a popular legend, which tells the story of a King whose daughters gave birth but did not want to nurse their children. Learn about this famous story as you immerse yourself in the legendary colonial city.

You'll also visit the La Unión tank, which is one of the most representative laundries in this city (only the big houses had their own washing facilities).

At the end of the tour, you’ll be transferred back to Guatemala City airport.
