Votre visite à pied débutera lorsque votre guide agréé viendra vous chercher au point de rendez-vous convenu. Vous aurez l'occasion de visiter les lieux décrits dans l'itinéraire, notamment le point de vue sur la ville, le Cerro de la Cruz, d'où vous pourrez apprécier la vue et mieux comprendre la distribution des rues et des avenues. Vous visiterez ensuite l'ancien monastère de l'ordre des Dominicains, aujourd'hui transformé en hôtel, restaurant et centre de congrès. Vous découvrirez également un musée et une fabrique de jade où vous en apprendrez davantage sur la culture maya. Vous découvrirez le lavoir public de la place Tanque de La Unión, l'église San Francisco où vous pourrez admirer le tombeau de Hermano Pedro, béatifié et canonisé par le pape Jean-Paul II, le parc central avec sa cathédrale, le palais de la mairie et l'ancien palais des capitaines généraux, et enfin l'emblématique arc de Santa Catalina du XVIe siècle.

Let’s immerse ourselves in the diversity of local Antigua culture. The nearly 500-year-old city is cradled by three volcanoes and accented with the colorful facades of 16th-century mansions. Visit ancient buildings that once served as convents, monasteries, and churches, becoming this a beautiful introduction to Guatemalan lifestyle and culture. As we walk along the cobblestone streets, each historical point reveals a magical postcard moment to remember forever, from San Francisco Church, Santo Domingo, and La Merced Church to the famous Santa Catalina Arch and the iconic buildings around the Main Square (Municipality, Palace of the Captains General, and Cathedral). Along the way, we’ll enjoy a drink or two during our walk, such as locally brewed artisanal beer, ancestral Mayan chocolate, or handcrafted Guatemalan coffee.
