Everywhere you walk you will be impressed by the colorful facades, attractive squares and beautiful churches and monasteries. The colonial center of Antigua is a feast for the eyes, and it should come as no surprise that the center is on the UNESCO World Heritage List.

Walk under the Arco de Santa Catalina<\/h2><p>The icon of Antigua that you see on every travel guide is the Arco de Santa Catalina, one of the most photographed sites in Guatemala. The historic arch was built in the 17th century as a connection between the two monasteries. Only at a later date was the turret with its clock added to the arch.<\/p><p>The Arco de Santa Catalina is a popular sight in Antigua. Therefore, it can be quite crowded here during the day.

For example, there are often street musicians and market stalls, but you will also always see many locals relaxing in the park. It is a good place to get a glimpse of daily life in Antigua. Around Parque Central you will find beautiful colonial buildings and a cathedral. Not surprisingly, this is the city's main square.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-316f882 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-eae-slider=\"49025\" data-id=\"316f882\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-85dda22\" data-eae-slider=\"76103\" data-id=\"85dda22\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d0b252a elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"d0b252a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"682\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Cerro-de-la-Cruz-1-682x1024.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-54436\" alt=\"Cerro de la Cruz\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Cerro-de-la-Cruz-1-682x1024.jpg 682w, https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Cerro-de-la-Cruz-1-600x901.jpg 600w, https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Cerro-de-la-Cruz-1-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Cerro-de-la-Cruz-1-768x1153.jpg 768w, https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Cerro-de-la-Cruz-1-1023x1536.jpg 1023w, https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Cerro-de-la-Cruz-1.jpg 1090w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 682px) 100vw, 682px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Cerro de la Cruz<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-abeb098\" data-eae-slider=\"49027\" data-id=\"abeb098\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-07b441a elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"07b441a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"682\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Parque-Central-682x1024.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-54435\" alt=\"Parque Central\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Parque-Central-682x1024.jpg 682w, https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Parque-Central-600x901.jpg 600w, https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Parque-Central-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Parque-Central-768x1153.jpg 768w, https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Parque-Central-1023x1536.jpg 1023w, https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Parque-Central.jpg 1090w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 682px) 100vw, 682px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Parque Central<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-e042b68 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-eae-slider=\"21534\" data-id=\"e042b68\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-23809ba\" data-eae-slider=\"63923\" data-id=\"23809ba\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e4e8a39 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e4e8a39\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>8.

You will climb to an altitude of 3,976 meters where you will not only spend the night, but also enjoy an insane sunrise and to top it off, a fire-breathing Fuego.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-b3a63ab elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-eae-slider=\"22062\" data-id=\"b3a63ab\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-959df20\" data-eae-slider=\"13680\" data-id=\"959df20\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-870ab6b elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"870ab6b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"682\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/The-Rooftop-Antigua-682x1024.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-54433\" alt=\"The Rooftop Antigua\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/The-Rooftop-Antigua-682x1024.jpg 682w, https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/The-Rooftop-Antigua-600x901.jpg 600w, https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/The-Rooftop-Antigua-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/The-Rooftop-Antigua-768x1153.jpg 768w, https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/The-Rooftop-Antigua-1023x1536.jpg 1023w, https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/The-Rooftop-Antigua.jpg 1090w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 682px) 100vw, 682px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">The Rooftop Antigua<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-ffaefc8\" data-eae-slider=\"19115\" data-id=\"ffaefc8\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2045a74 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"2045a74\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"682\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Fuego-Hobbitenango-682x1024.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-54071\" alt=\"Fuego Hobbitenango\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Fuego-Hobbitenango-682x1024.jpg 682w, https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Fuego-Hobbitenango-600x901.jpg 600w, https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Fuego-Hobbitenango-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Fuego-Hobbitenango-768x1154.jpg 768w, https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Fuego-Hobbitenango.jpg 886w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 682px) 100vw, 682px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Volcan Fuego<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-e688064 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-eae-slider=\"41241\" data-id=\"e688064\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-1c07e64\" data-eae-slider=\"45530\" data-id=\"1c07e64\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f81ae13 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f81ae13\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>14.

Depending on how busy the roads are, it will take you about 1 to 1.5 hours to get to Antigua.\u00a0<\/p><p>Do you travel from <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/travander.nl\/en\/villages-lake-atitlan-guatemala\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Lake Atitlan<\/a><\/strong> to Antigua then you can board the bus in the village of Panajachel.
