- The Plaza Central Park - Known locally as Plaza Central, Antigua Guatemala’s Central Park is steeped in history. It feels like stepping into a time machine. Visitors are surrounded by the first national palace, the first Cathedral of Guatemala, and the mermaid’s fountain at the park’s center.
- Cathedral de Santiago - Construction of the first Cathedral began in 1545, and after an earthquake, it was finally inaugurated in 1680. It was designated a Cathedral in 1743 and was the most luxurious in Central America at that time. The Santa Marta earthquake in 1773 left it in ruins, but the facade has been restored, and the ruins are open to visitors today.
- Arco de Santa Catalina - Next is the most iconic spot in Antigua Guatemala: Arch Street, home to the Santa Catalina Arch. This site has become a symbol of Antigua and is featured on most postcards. Originally built by the Santa Catarina Mártir Convent in 1693 as a bridge for discreet passage, it offers stunning photo opportunities.
- Iglesia de La Merced - This stunning yellow and white church, built in 1749, is a prime example of Guatemalan baroque architecture.
- Casa Santo Domingo Museums - The largest monastery in Antigua Guatemala, Casa Santo Domingo, is located on the grounds of the Santo Domingo Monastery. It began as a key convent in the Americas, housing followers of Santo Domingo de Guzmán. Established in 1538, the monastery was a grand, two-towered, ten-belled structure filled with riches and relics. Partially destroyed by the 1773 Santa Marta earthquake, it now stands as a monument preserving baroque architecture and treasures. The ancient walls, brick archways, and tile corridors tell the story of the original Casa Santo Domingo. Today, part of the ruins has been transformed into Antigua’s only five-star hotel, which opened in 1989.
- Jade Maya - The original Jade factory, museum & showroom - The next stop is Jade Maya, the premier destination to explore 3000 years of jade history in Guatemala. The Mayans, a culture rich in charm and wisdom, valued jade for its representation of life, fertility, and power, considering it more precious than gold. Dive into the captivating history of the “eternal life rock.”
- Valhalla Macadamia Farm - The macadamia nut is prized for its nutritional benefits. This farm grows and harvests macadamia nuts for consumption and the creation of natural products like skin-enhancing oils. Enjoy the outdoor setting and natural paths, then relax with a facial massage using macadamia oil to experience its benefits firsthand.
