The Antigua Explorer is the best way to visit this colonial jewel and learn about its past. Antigua was the capital city of the Spanish Kingdom in the region until 1776. Tourists visit the city every year from around the world to enjoy its natural beauty and historic monuments.

The Spanish Colonial style permeates every part of the town: from its houses and churches, to its parks and ruins, and also to its traditions and folklore as well. Set amid three magnificent volcanoes - Agua, Fuego and Acatenango - its sturdy buildings have weathered 16 earthquakes and numerous floods and fires. Antigua is a Cultural Heritage to Humanity as declared by UNESCO.

On this tour you will visit the Central Plaza with the Cathedral and the Palace of the Captains, the ruins of the Convent Capuchinas, La Merced Church, the arch of Santa Catalina and many other historical monuments.
