Description

Join us for an alternative tour of Guatemala City! We'll pick you up at your hotel at the indicated time and set off on a bus to explore the capital city's highlights.

Our journey begins in Las Majadas, known for its Asian community. Next, we'll visit the Kaminaljuyu ruins, an ancient Maya city from 1200 BC. We'll admire this archaeological site from the exterior and learn about its history and the notable ceramics and sculptures found there.

After the archaeological site, we'll stop at the Museo Miraflores to see a large collection of pieces uncovered at the site.

We'll then head north to view the Relief Map of Guatemala, a massive model of the country’s terrain from the early 20th century.

Our next stop is Cerrito del Carmen, home to a Catholic church that has been rebuilt three times. We’ll explain the reasons for this before visiting the historic center of Guatemala City to admire the exterior of the Metropolitan Cathedral. We'll also visit the Maya exhibit at the Miraflores Museum.

Afterward, we will enjoy traditional Guatemalan cuisine at a local restaurant, accompanied by a refreshing drink. Energized, we'll stroll along 6th Avenue to Plaza Berlín for a panoramic view of the mountains and volcanoes in southern Guatemala City.

After between 7 and 8 hours, we'll conclude the tour and return to the starting point.
