Travel to Antigua
Located in the central highlands of Guatemala, Antigua offers one of the best-preserved examples of Spanish Baroque architecture in Central America. You’ll be able to tour the ruins of several colonial churches. As a designated world heritage site, the invitation for a visit is always open.
If you take up the invitation, then the reward includes sites like the El Carmen church. Although the church itself is in ruins, a majority of its original façade is still standing and is preserved quite well. The intricacy of its columns and details is something that will cause many to linger, staring at the precision of the work.
The Cathedral of St. James is another impressive testament. Built originally in 1545, a second sanctuary was constructed in 1680. It achieved its Cathedral status in 1743. The Church and Convent of Capuchins and the La Merced Church are additional sites that are worth a tour during your stay.
You can also use Antigua as the basis of a full holiday in Guatemala. Shuttles can be arranged to take you to Coba, Atitlan Lake, Tikal, or Monterrico Beach. Atitlan Lake is in the highlands of the Sierra Madre Mountains and has an average depth of 72 meters. Often ranked as one of the most beautiful lakes in the world, boating and other water activities are plentiful. The region supports avocado orchards and coffee growth as well.
Antigua provides a calm, relaxing experience that allows you to explore Central America at your own pace. Get some local chocolate, plan your experience, and enjoy one of the best holidays you’ve ever had.
