Antigua: Maya & Spanish Influences

Antigua: Maya & Spanish Influences

The tour takes you to a cultural center and to La Antigua Guatemala area, Unesco’s World Cultural Heritage Site, to appreciate part of the Maya and Spanish culture that makes Guatemala a blend of cultures.

Moving from/to the venues, the cultural visitor is stimulated by Antigua’s colonial ambiance. While enjoying a panoramic view of Antigua, the guest visits partially restored complexes built in the 1600s and 1700s, and an active church with its sui generis Catholicism.

While the visit to the cultural center shows the way of living, music and celebrations practiced by many Maya communities, the coffee area displays how it has influenced the economic aspects of society.

A unique experience for those who want to enjoy cultural references of the Maya and Spanish world in a Unesco’s World Heritage Site, and in a small group setting. No Sunday operation.

Tour sequence may vary to optimize the flow of activities.
