Guided Walking Tour of Antigua Guatemala
At the designated time, our journey begins on Calle Oriente, setting off on foot to traverse the historic avenues of a city that served as Guatemala's capital for two centuries.
Your guided adventure through this ancient colonial gem will offer tales and anecdotes from the storied past of Antigua Guatemala. Our first destination is the beautiful church of La Merced. From there, we will stroll towards the iconic Arch of Santa Catalina, which, along with the convent cloister and the church’s nave, is a defining feature of the city.
Continuing on, we’ll arrive at the Parque Central, a central hub that embodies the spirit of the town. Surrounding the park are significant structures, including the historic City Hall, the Church of San José (previously recognized as the Cathedral of Guatemala), the Archbishop's Palace, and the bustling Portal del Comercio, once the center of commercial activity in Antigua Guatemala. The tour wraps up at the Tanque de la Unión, a communal spot that served as a public laundry during colonial times.
Concluding our walking tour through Antigua Guatemala, we will return to our original meeting point after three enriching hours.
