Höjdpunkter

We are happy to match solo travelers with existing reservations to confirm the tour.* Explore Iximché, one of the most important archaeological sites in the Guatemalan Highlands and the former capital of the Kaqchikel Maya during the Late Postclassic period. Once a powerful political and ceremonial center (12th–15th centuries), Iximché played a key role during the Spanish Conquest and is considered the first capital of Guatemala. Upon arrival, you will meet your local bilingual guide at the entrance of the site, where the guided visit begins.

About Antigua
Antigua Guatemala is a colonial city of cobbled streets, ruined churches and pastel façades, ringed by three volcanoes in the Guatemalan highlands.
Antigua was the capital of Spanish Guatemala until earthquakes in 1773 led to the move of the government to the present capital. The grid of cobbled streets and low colonial houses survived, together with the ruins of grand churches and convents, and the town is a UNESCO World Heritage site. The yellow Santa Catalina Arch, with its clock tower, frames Volcán de Agua at the end of a street.
Top-ranked sights in Antigua: Antigua Central Park (Parque Central), Cerro de la Cruz (Hill of the Cross), La Merced Church (Iglesia de la Merced).
