(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
The Plaza Central Park
The Plaza Mayor was the commercial, civil, religious and civic center for the city since its foundation. Many major activities have been hosted there— religious processions, bullfights, horse races and courting—over the years. Water was introduced in 1555 in the fountain. Today visitors enjoy a majestic view of the cathedral, City´s main palaces and the arcade of commerce.
Arco de Santa Catalina
The Santa Catalina Arch is one of the distinguishable landmarks in Antigua Guatemala, Guatemala, located on 5th Avenue North and is one of the walks visitors must do. Built in the 17th century, it originally connected the convent to a school, allowing the cloistered nuns to pass from one building to the other without going out on the street. A clock on top was added in the era of the Central American Federation, in the 1830s.
Centro de Formacion de la Cooperacion Espanola en La Antigua Guatemala
The Church and convent of the Society of Jesus in Antigua Guatemala is a religious complex built between 1690 and 1698. Located 1 block west from Central Plaza, once belonged to the family of the city chronicler Bernal Díaz del Castillo. It held three monastery areas and a church. There were only a maximum of 13 Jesuit priest. Today the building is part of the Spanish Cooperation Agency and with amazing gardens, corridors and galeries, it is definitely worth visiting
