Tour description
Antigua Guatemala is one of the most beautiful colonial cities in the Americas, a UNESCO World Heritage site of cobbled streets, pastel houses and romantic baroque ruins, all framed by three towering volcanoes. Once the capital of colonial Central America, it was shaped and reshaped by earthquakes. On this walking tour a local guide reveals its beauty and history.
You will pass beneath the famous yellow Santa Catalina Arch, explore the ruins of grand churches and convents, and hear about the colonial era and the great earthquakes. Along the way you will discover the crafts and coffee culture of the highlands. Romantic and historic, Antigua is a wonderful city to explore on foot.
