Additional Information

Although Semana Santa is when most visitors travel to Antigua, it’s not the only place to experience the Easter celebrations in Guatemala. The Holy Week is the commemoration of the passion (last days) and death of Jesus Christ through processions.

Holy Week can be a good time to visit Guatemala City. The historical center will be filled with beautiful and solemn religious processions and colorful sawdust carpets as well. Grab your camera and capture the meaningful moments that you´ll see on this heartwarming tour.

You can start taking this tour during The Easter season—known as Lent—which begins on Ash Wednesday with Decorated churches and special vigils, or explore the City’s Holy Week. Please check the dates of Holy Week in Guatemala for reference

All the religious floats during the holy week are a “not to miss” when you visit Guatemala. But there are 4 special processions you should keep in mind when booking your tour:

  • Palm Sunday
  • Good Friday
  • Holy Saturday
  • Easter Sunday
  • Please do not wear shorts or strapless/short sleeves shirts
  • Not recommended for enoclophobia, fear of crowds of people
