Antigua Guatemala Historic Center Self Guided Audio Walking Tour

About this activity

Antigua is the great colonial capital that Spain walked away from. After the 1773 earthquake the crown moved the government to modern Guatemala City and left the ruined city behind. The people who could not afford to follow stayed and kept living among the broken vaults, and that is why the baroque city still stands as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

This self-guided audio walk follows that one idea across ten stops: the plaza Spain ran Central America from, a cathedral that is a working church and an open-air ruin at once, the yellow Santa Catalina Arch built so cloistered nuns could cross the street unseen, the monasteries of La Merced, Capuchinas and Santo Domingo, and the tomb of Hermano Pedro, the first saint of Central America.

Because it is self-guided, the walk is yours. Start whenever you like, go at your own pace, pause to eat, skip a stop or replay one. No group, no fixed departure, no tip pressure. Narrated in English and Spanish, it works offline and is yours to keep.
