Step back in time as you explore the beautiful colonial city of Antigua, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in the heart of Guatemala. Experience the diverse landscapes as you make your way into this picturesque town, chock full of vibrant culture and history beckoning exploration and enjoyment. All with an amazing meal!

A former capital of Guatemala, the city boasts an impressive array of colonial relics in a magnificent setting. Streetscapes of pastel facades unfold beneath three volcanoes. Many old religious and civic structures are beautifully renovated, while others retain the tumbledown charm, with fragments strewn about "park-like" grounds. Thanks to the dozens of Spanish-language schools that operate here, Antigua is a global hotspot you can't miss on your visit to Puerto Quetzal.

You will meet your professional, English-speaking guide outside your Puerto Quetzal cruise terminal where you will board the comfortable, air-conditioned transport for the scenic 90-minute drive to Antigua. As you journey through the forest, passing volcanoes and into the heart of the city, you will note the spectacular architecture dating back to the Spanish Baroque. The large fountain, circular walkways, and inviting benches of Parque Central welcome the buzz of locals and tourists alike. Pass by the twin bell towers of the 17th century Church of La Merced, adorned in graceful yellow and white, standing strong today.

The 16th-century Cathedral and Convent of Santo Domingo present a great opportunity to explore the past while experiencing the present in a museum and hotel. A visit to Jade Maya Museum and Factory will provide insight into the mining and creative process in the formation of fine traditional local jewelry. While you are there, don't forget to rub the jade rock formation in the middle of the showroom for good luck!

Lastly, you will enjoy a traditional Guatemalan lunch featuring fresh local fare. You will learn how the tortilla is made while learning the history and traditions behind the food. The knowledge gained will help you to make your lunch selection, choosing from mix pepian, chicken with loroco sauce, adobado de cerdo, jocon de pollo, or hilachas. Vegetarian options are available including enchiladas (not spicy), tortillas with cheese, and salad.

Once you have finished your meal and if time allows, you can take a stroll through shops, admiring locally handcrafted products or picking up a souvenir or two before heading back to your Puerto Quetzal cruise port.
