    Antigua Guatemala, a charming colonial city founded in 1543, flourished as one of the most important jewels of the Spanish Empire in the Americas. Its cobblestone streets, surrounded by majestic volcanoes, tell stories of grandeur and resilience. Over time, the city was destroyed and shaken on various occasions by earthquakes, floods, and volcanic eruptions; yet, the majestic ruins of churches, convents, and monasteries endure as witnesses to its greatness, inspiring admiration and dazzling travelers from all over the world today.

 

    Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1979, Antigua Guatemala captivates visitors with its baroque architecture, vibrant cultural life, and living traditions, making it a unique destination where every corner breathes history, spirituality, and beauty.

 

    The wide variety of restaurants, nightlife, and hotels makes this city a true magnet for travelers, offering memorable experiences and options for all budgets.

 

    With a wonderful climate and surrounded by abundant nature, it's a place that enchants tourists. We have two seasons a year, dry and rainy, and the average temperature is around 77°F (25°C). In December, the mornings are usually sunny and warm, while the evenings offer a mild chill that contrasts with clear skies and beautiful orange sunsets. We recommend you bring light clothing, a sweater for the evenings, sunscreen, and, of course, a few swimsuits to enjoy your time to the fullest.
