    We walked from church to church to convent to Coventry. Our guide displayed a wonderful grasp of the history of the greater church in Guatemalan society over the centuries. We were introduced to wonderful works of art, the story of the great earthquake, and the connection between Maya and Andalusian cultures.

Top Tours and Activities in Antigua Guatemala | Book Online

Nestled in a lush valley and surrounded by volcanoes, Antigua Guatemala is one of Central America's most charming colonial cities. Its colorful streets, lively markets, and vibrant atmosphere invite travelers to slow down and soak in the unique blend of history and culture. Whether you enjoy exploring ancient ruins, sampling delicious Guatemalan coffee, or simply wandering through picturesque plazas, this city has something for everyone.

A Brief Historical Overview

Founded in the 16th century, Antigua once served as the colonial capital of Guatemala. Despite suffering devastating earthquakes over the centuries, the city’s baroque architecture and cobblestone streets have stood the test of time. Today, its beautifully preserved churches and monasteries tell the story of a resilient city with a rich heritage.

When to Visit?

The dry season, from November to April, is the ideal time to visit. During these months, you'll enjoy sunny days and cool evenings, perfect for sightseeing and outdoor adventures. The rainy season, though less predictable, brings lush greenery and fewer tourists, making it a peaceful alternative for travelers.

What are the must-see attractions?

Don't miss the impressive Santa Catalina Arch, the ruins of old cathedrals, and the bustling Mercado de Artesanías. A hike up Cerro de la Cruz rewards you with panoramic city views. Coffee lovers should consider a tour of one of the nearby coffee plantations for a true taste of Guatemala.
