Excursions in Antigua Guatemala

Hey there, fellow adventurers! Are you ready to embark on a journey through time and culture in one of Central America's most enchanting cities? Look no further than Antigua Guatemala, a place where colonial charm meets vibrant local traditions. At Foxiepass, we're passionate about showing you the very best this UNESCO World Heritage site has to offer. So, grab your walking shoes and let's explore some of Antigua's must-see spots!

Parque Central: The Heart of Antigua

First stop on our tour? The bustling Parque Central. This isn't just any old park – it's the pulsing heart of Antigua. Picture this: you're sitting on a wrought-iron bench, sipping a cup of world-famous Guatemalan coffee, watching the world go by. Street vendors hawk their colorful wares, locals catch up on the latest gossip, and the impressive Fountain of the Sirens provides a soothing backdrop. Trust me, it's people-watching paradise!

Cerro de la Cruz: A View to Remember

Now, let's get those legs moving! We're heading up to Cerro de la Cruz, and boy, is it worth the climb. As you huff and puff your way up (don't worry, we'll take it slow), you'll be rewarded with a view that'll knock your socks off. The entire city spreads out before you, with the imposing Volcán de Agua looming in the background. It's the perfect spot for that envy-inducing Instagram shot – #NoFilterNeeded!

Iglesia de La Merced: A Baroque Beauty

Time to feed your inner architecture nerd! La Merced Church is a stunning example of Baroque architecture that'll have you oohing and aahing. Its buttery yellow façade is adorned with intricate stucco designs that'll make you wonder, "How on earth did they do that?" Step inside, and you'll find yourself surrounded by religious art and a sense of tranquility that's hard to come by in our fast-paced world.

ChocoMuseo: For the Sweet Tooth

Who doesn't love chocolate? At ChocoMuseo, you'll learn about the rich history of cacao in Guatemala (pun intended). But this isn't just a look-don't-touch kind of place. Roll up your sleeves and join a workshop where you'll make your own chocolatey creations. Warning: You might never look at a Hershey's bar the same way again!

Mercado de Artesanías: Shop 'Til You Drop

No trip to Antigua is complete without a visit to the Artisan Market. It's a treasure trove of handcrafted goods that'll have you wishing you'd brought an extra suitcase. From vibrant textiles to intricate wood carvings, there's something for everyone. And hey, a little haggling is part of the fun – just remember to keep it friendly!
