Itinerary and highlights
The fifth avenue adorns the city with lights, shops, bars and restaurants that give life at all times, being one of the most recurring attractions due to its unique arch that is part of our historical heritage. Our guide will give information about the construction of it and the details it keeps, as well as the function it performed at the corresponding time.
The city is surrounded by various buildings that were erected at different times, for this reason, taking a walk from the heart of the city to this point means traveling in time, knowing the different eras and reaching one in which art, symbology; religious syncretism and culture came together in a single monument, giving it an incomparable appearance.
Since the Plaza Mayor is considered the heart of the city. our guide will give a brief introduction about the history and founding process of the city; Likewise, it will make a brief review of the monuments that surround it.

One of the many squares that adorns the city of La Antigua Guatemala, today it is still a very important meeting point for visitors and locals. As part of the history that formed the square, there are several buildings that at the time were the residence of religious and one of them a medical assistance center. Upon reaching the square, the imposing public laundry takes its place and takes you back to the time when it was very important for the inhabitants of the city.
