Destination

Founded in 1543 in the shadow of three volcanoes, Antigua de Guatemala (commonly referred to as “La Antigua”),was the country’s capital city for two centuries. It boasts grand Baroque architecture, superb cultural attractions, and breathtaking natural beauty. La Antigua has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and was voted one of the Top Five Cities in Central and South America by Condé Nast Traveler readers in 2013.

Stroll Antigua’s cobblestone streets and discover the history behind its most famous churches and ruins, including San Jose Cathedral, La Merced, and La Recolecciòn. Spend some time in the fascinating Museum of Colonial Art, followed by a relaxing meal at a café in the city’s famous Central Park. Tour the Capuchinas Convent, or pick up a keepsake of your Guatemalan travels at the craft market.

There is so much to do and see here in La Antigua and the surrounding area that you’d be forgiven for feeling a bit overwhelmed by your options.

Choose between two different tours – Forest Express and Canyon Express – and bring your camera, because both tours include walks through the woods with spectacular wildlife views. Each tour lasts an average of two hours once you arrive at the your venue.

Coffee is one of Guatemala’s finest exports. On this tour, you’ll learn about how it’s cultivated on this plantation, whose history dates back well over a century.
