Itinerary and highlights
A unique luxury hotel built within the restored ruins of a 16th-century Dominican monastery. It blends colonial history with modern comfort, featuring beautifully preserved stone archways, lush gardens, museums, and candlelit corridors that create a magical and historic atmosphere.
It was the religious and cultural center of the city, housing invaluable treasures of colonial Baroque art. Within its walls rest the remains of Saint Brother Pedro de Betancourt, Guatemala’s saint.
A historic public space dating back to the 19th century, once used by local women to do laundry and socialize. Surrounded by colonial buildings and shaded by trees, it remains a charming and photogenic spot that reflects everyday life in Antigua.
It was once one of the largest cathedral churches in Latin America. Today, only a quarter remains standing, while the rest is preserved as historic ruins.
The famous street of the arch, emblem of the city. Learn about its history and visit an old colonial house.
The Jesuits of the Society of Jesus built an impressive complex that included a temple, monastery, cloister, and college. In 1997, the Spanish Cooperation restored parts of the building and opened a small museum.
A historical and cultural tour exploring one of the most important stones in Maya culture. Considered more valuable than gold, jade symbolized fertility, life, and power.
It is one of the most beautiful temples in the city, showcasing a distinctly Guatemalan Baroque style. Its construction incorporated anti-seismic design, allowing it to withstand the earthquakes that destroyed much of the city.
