A LUXURY VACATION TO ANTIGUA
Antigua’s cobblestone streets are lined with charming architecture in faded pastel colours. As a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the city has been protected retaining the feel of the 17th century colonial era.
Wander through a maze of ornate churches, bell-towered cathedrals, archways and convents, with the town’s parks and plazas dotted with great fallen pillars, the remnants of the 1773 earthquake. Tie this in with stops at our favourite craft shops, cafes, courtyard restaurants and artisan workshops.
Colour bursts from every corner of this small town. From traditional Guatemalan dress, street-food vendors smoking deep red tortillas, and buzzing markets where you can haggle for crafts and textiles from dawn to dusk. A couple of days – exploring by bike, tasking the local cuisine, hiking nearby volcanoes, and visiting the surrounding coffee plantations – makes for a great start to a journey through Guatemala.
