  • Today you will have a half day walking tour of beautiful colonial Antigua to get your bearings and visit the many pretty squares and churches.

  • Free day to further explore Antigua at your own leisure or perhaps go on a chocolate making tour, visit a coffee plantation or try a volcano hike.

  • Drive from Antigua through spectacular scenery and traditional villages until you reach Quetzaltenango, in the heart of the highlands. You will also visit Chichicastenango market on route.
