Overview
Antigua Guatemala was one of the most important Spanish colonial cities in Latin America, and today remains a beautifully preserved reflection of its historic significance. It was the capital of the Kingdom of Guatemala from 1543 to 1773. This private one-day experience invites guests to explore the city’s architectural elegance, cultural depth, and relaxed rhythm, all thoughtfully curated.
Throughout the day, guests may stroll through Antigua’s Central Park and the city’s old Cathedral, and visit emblematic landmarks such as La Merced Church and San Francisco Church. Depending on personal interests and time preferences, guests may also choose to explore either the Convent of Santa Clara or the remarkable ruins of Las Capuchinas as an alternative cultural stop.
The experience allows time to simply enjoy the town’s atmosphere — its cobblestone streets, vibrant courtyards, and timeless charm — offering moments to absorb Antigua at a natural pace.
The journey is complemented by curated gastronomy recommendations, allowing guests to enjoy selected local flavors that reflect both traditional Guatemalan cuisine and contemporary interpretations. Visits to selected artisan spaces, including jade workshops and Antigua’s traditional handicraft market, further enrich the experience. Together, these elements create a balanced introduction to Antigua’s history, craftsmanship, and living culture, designed to feel effortless, personal, and deeply immersive.
